Ripple (XRP) tearing through the markets
The current market analysis indicates Ripple (XRP) is having a buoyant run this week ripping through the markets yet again. The crypto coin saga seems not to be out of the woods as of yet as Ripple (XRP) is showing dominance, and signs of dethroning bitcoin with a 78% and an 8.85% increase.
Ripple (XRP) is showing muscle and accretions that it is a force to reckon with in the digital currency world, and is here to stay. With the coin endlessly partnering with other firms and announcing almost every week that it is pushing for cross-border payment, it is now safe to say that payday is finally here for Ripple (XRP).
On April 10th XRP reached a high of 0.4932, on April 15th Ripple was trading at 0.64. Today it has hit an impressive 0.9185 —indicating its value is moving towards the much celebrated $1. With experts claiming further good fortune for the investors of the digital money, and its acceptance into the more significant crypto market, XRP evaluation is forecasted to grow in tandem with the general value of Cryptocurrency.
Regardless of the good reviews XRP is getting from every crypto coin enthusiast, it is still hard to pinpoint the real factor behind the Ripple’s bullish movement in recent weeks. However, there are a couple of big factors that indicate when looked into closely that they might have a hand in contributing towards Ripple’s increase in market share.
The Apple-Ripple Partnership Factor
Although cryptocurrency is in the space of peak uncertainty, Apple is known for integrating current technologies into the mainstream and making them easy to use by offering straightforward User interface.
Apple’s decision to incorporate and partner with Ripple’s inter-ledger payment system does not correlate directly to XRP currency but sure does bring anticipation for a possible XRP integration in future. With this, the prices of Ripple will grow by leaps and bounds, and increase beyond the $1 anticipated mark, probably to $10.
Ripple-Santander OnePay FX money transfer
Although regarding this incredible partnership, critics are refuting the claims that this partnership and others were made with Ripple XRP currency in mind. Rather, the argument is that such companies as Santander only made agreements with Ripple’s payment solutions — and not the Digital coin itself. Regardless of the claims, the partnership is making the currency more attractive, stable, and accepted compared to its competitors.
Ripple’s commitment to Innovation
The Digital money is investing $25 Million in its crypto token (XRP) to innovations and brilliant ideas that will focus on developing the blockchain space.
The $25 million adds to the over $100 million fund managed by Blockchain Capital that will invest and distribute the digital money to entrepreneurial teams that are into blockchain technology and building their businesses around it. The fund will also provide an opportunity and avenue for developers to work and access the technology in real time, and build on it using the open source platforms, the XRP Ledger provide.
Conclusion
As Ripple continues to support the expansion and development of the blockchain ecosystem, it will only make the cryptocurrency to become more stable, accepted, and competitive in today’s world. And with all these incredible partnerships, adoption and other good things happening around this altcoin, it soon will be safe to say that the coin might hit $10 mark — not just the $1.

XNO Token of Xeno NFT Hub listed on Bithumb Korea Exchange
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?
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…
