Ripple (XRP) has been in the news a lot last year. This cryptocurrency continues to occupy the mind, which is partly about facts but there are certainly many rumors. That's no coincidence, the whole purpose of XRP is to provide a cryptocurrency for secure transfers between institutions (as opposed to end-user trading transactions), and it has worked well for the time being. Financial institutions such as banks are buying the XRP and maybe you should too.

More than a hundred banks worldwide are currently testing Ripple's fast software. Ripple wants to connect about 200 banks in total, which means that they will connect a new bank every week that will use XRP (recently rebranded to On Demand Liquidity). This has been successful to this day! So when Ripple gets its way, the bank in your area will be connected to this coin's ecosystem before the end of the year. The xRapid system is versatile and easy to implement, so it quickly fits any system of a local bank. Critics note that this type of integration will entail depreciation of the currency, but the market has disagreed so far. Ultimately, it will mean more trades and increased demand, which will only make the XRP coin worth more.
You probably already know that it takes a lot of time to make transactions via the most used crypto coins. But did you know that the transaction speed of XRP is even faster than that of VISA? Speed combined with reliability makes XRP a currency you can trust and that the world needs. Every week there are more banks that join and go for it.
