XRP might hit the skies finally, probably last chance to get on Ripple train

Published

Ripple XRP

Ripple (XRP) is on the brink of becoming one of the main cryptocurrencies to be used by banks and other financial institutions. At the moment, XRP investors are set to see some life-changing developments with Ripple.

It is important to know that in the last seven days, XRP increased by 27.87% – much higher than Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, EOS, and Stellar. We shouldn’t be surprised if XRP overthrows Ethereum in its position because, in the end, XRP will be a digital asset that offers better utility to the world.

Ripple Partners with 3 top cryptocurrency exchanges for its international payments

To enhance xRapid-powered global payments, crypto exchanges such as Bittrex, Bitso, and Coins.ph have been picked by Ripple for banks using XRP. XRP will be used to facilitate transactions between global banks.

Ripple stated:

These exchanges will enable xRapid payments to move from one cryptocurrency- into XRP- and back into another currency efficiently and quickly.”

Subsequently, these three crypto exchanges will assist transactions that used XRP between USD, Philippine, and Mexican Pesos.

Ripple, through its chief, Cory Johnson stated:

Bittrex is one of the biggest names in digital asset trading in the U.S. The same applies to Bitso in Mexico and Coins.ph in the Philippines. That makes today’s announcement an important development for xRapid.”

It is important to know that companies that make use of xRapid stated that they save up to 70% of the cost for the cross-border transaction.

Ripple’s chief further added that its recent progress is the vital one for xRapid and xCurrent:

We’ve seen several successful xRapid pilots already, and as we move the product from beta to production later this year, these exchanges partners will allow us to provide financial institutions with the comfort and assurance that their payments will move seamlessly between different currencies.”

In accordance to Johnson’s announcements, the xRapid product will move from its testing phase to the production phase.

Johnson stated the real reason why Ripple chooses Mexico, the U.S, and the Philippines by saying:

Why did we choose, of all countries, preferred partners in Mexico and the Philippines? The four largest incoming remittance countries (two of which shun crypto business) are India, China, Mexico and the Philippines.”

On the other hand, the Chief of Coin.ph also commented on the recent partnership with Ripple:

We are excited to be partnering with Ripple to bring the benefits of blockchain technology to cross-border payment, making sending money home more affordable for 10M+ overseas Filipino workers.”

Additionally, Binance also collaborated with Ripple on the launch of its new crypto exchange called Liechtenstein Cyptoassets Exchange (LCE). This was revealed through a tweeted picture by Michael Arrington showing him with the CEO of Binance Changpeng Zhao along with Ripple’s SVP Ethan Beard for the launch of new Binance cryptocurrency exchange. As a result of this collaboration, Ripple’s price surged at that time by 7.84%.

There are some strong sings that Ripple (XRP) could hit the moon in no time and we shouldn’t be surprised if this occurs sooner than later. Nevertheless, this is the right time to invest and get on the Ripple train before it is too late. Of course, use your very own common sense and research.

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…

“NFTs are extremely flexible in their usage, from digital event tickets to artwork, and while NFTs have a very wide spectrum of uses and categories XENO will initially focus its partnership efforts and its own item curation on three primary areas: gaming, sports & entertainment, and collectibles.”, said XENO NFT Hub president Anthony Di Franco.

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
