I was reading some articles on crypto yesterday. I cam across this gem of news: https://coinpaper.com/14768/xrp-price-prediction-as-69-b-deutsche-bank-partners-with-ripple
Basically, XRP is partnering with the bank so they can use Ripple's payment structure. This move was estimated to save Deutsch bank millions of dollars, increase transaction speeds, and simplify payment systems.
Now, in the short term this news did not seem to affect the prices of XRP. I believe in the long run, especially when people see the power of XRP and what the benefits are of using it from a traditional banking system, the value of XRP goes to the moon.
I am so happy about this news, for one, it increases the long term value of XRP, two, it lowers costs (at least in theory) for the consumer. A win win!
I can't wait to see what the future holds.
