Here Is How India Is a Slam Dunk For Ripple and XRP

Published

Ripple

The beautiful country of India is known to have one of the most progressive and tech-savvy population in the world. This fact is boosted by the fact that they have a very forward-thinking Prime Minister: Narendra Modi. It is no wonder that the company of Ripple has set up shop in the country despite the ongoing Reserve Bank of India (RBI) ban on fiat-to-crypto transactions and vise versa. But this ban has some loopholes that can be exploited by both the Ripple company and XRP.

With respect to XRP and Ripple, you might notice that many online publications have started distinguishing the two assets for they are entirely separate entities. This fact has been amplified by the 3 ongoing lawsuits against the Ripple company as well as SEC scrutiny on XRP.

So how will India be a slam dunk for Ripple and XRP?

To begin with, the current RBI ban does not prohibit crypto-to-crypto transactions. This means that the tech-savvy citizens of the country can choose to use XRP for day to day transactions due to the four known qualities that will be outlined next. Firstly, XRP is highly liquid in a sense that you can get it easily in India on Zebpay and Unodax. There is also the unreported peer-to-peer transactions that are probably going on in XRP. These transactions are boosted by the other 3 qualities of the coin: it is secure, fast (3.3 second transaction speed) and cheap ($0.0001 per transaction).  This makes XRP ideal for microtransactions in the country. The fintech arena in India is growing in an exponential rate and XRP is at the forefront of this progress.

Secondly, the said exchanges of Zebpay and Unodax currently offer trading in crypto with XRP as a base pair. This is some good news for the two exchanges have seen that XRP is the future. The XRP centered trading pairs will further boost the visibility of the coin in the crypto markets.

The third reason will be centered around the Ripple company which has already set up shop in India for they know the country is a financial powerhouse. The GDP of India just recently surpassed that of the UK: imagine that! There is also the fact that international remittances into the country were valued at $67 Billion in 2017. It is no wonder the Kotak Mahindra Bank joined the Ripple network and plans on using xCurrent for local and international remittance services.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The beautiful country of India is a vital piece of the puzzle for the expansion of both the Ripple Company and XRP around the globe. The future does indeed look bright for both entities and the country of India.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
