“Ripple is one of the key players for banks to realize significant benefits. Ripple is to establish an institutional, cross-border payment with XRP, an open source for access and participation in the public sector of XRP cash flow – a stand-alone digital currency used to facilitate transactions on the Ripple network. Bitkub, Ripple’s official exchange partner in Thailand, is joining the RippleNet program. We are on a mission of humanizing blockchain experience, where people will inherently utilize cryptocurrency as a transaction protocol on the back end in order to receive, as well as transfer money, at a fraction of the cost across the globe. Within early next year, global money remittance at a much cheaper rate would be feasible.”
