Being able to spend your cryptocurrencies to buy on Amazon has always been considered one of the key steps for the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, moreover we are talking about one of the largest e-commerce in the world, the largest if we only consider the countries of the block Western; thanks to the effort of BitPay, one of the main cryptocurrency payment processors, it will now be possible to spend XRP tokens (the native crypto of ripple) to buy on amazon.

I specify that it will not be possible to pay directly in XRP but you can buy gift vouchers to spend on the well-known ecommerce.

BitPay announced its partnership with Ripple's (Xpring) investment split last October and added XRP to the list of hedged digital currencies; this partnership is now taking a step forward and from next week it will finally be possible to buy gift vouchers to spend on amazon.

The news was greeted with great enthusiasm by the community, under pressure for a few weeks because of the possibility that XRP is equated with security from the United States.

Ripple has repeatedly tried to convince the judges, who will have to rule soon following the cases brought by some investors (among which the best known is the one taken by Bradley Sostack), that XRP can in no way be considered a security also because , as reiterated several times by the company's CEO (Brad Garlinghouse) if even ripple as a company closed its doors tomorrow XRP would continue to exist for the simple fact that it is independent Open Source technology.

The fact that ripple is XRP's main stakeholder does not mean that XRP is owned by ripple; after all, if this concept were to pass, the same principle that ETH and BTC are considered commodities would be called into question for the simple reason that these assets should be considered the property of the whales that hold the largest quantity of coins.

 The fact that some investors are convinced that the growth of Ripple as a company could coincide with an increase in the value of XRP does not mean that this is actually the case; pending that the lawsuits in progress in the USA come to an end and that the judges express themselves on the matter the XRP community is enjoying the possibility of spending its tokens on amazon and, despite the fears, does not seem to believe that XRP can actually be considered a security.
