Ripple has made alliances with Tsinghua University in Beijing to offer blockchain research program in China.

The Institute for Fintech Research at Tsinghua University has stated that the research program will focus on global regulatory policies and development of blockchain technology. The selected candidates will also be allowed to attend corporate events so that they get a comprehensive view of the global blockchain regulatory policies.

In June 2018, Ripple has announced that it would spend nearly $50 million into blockchain research programs in educational institutes. The company has partnered with 17 universities worldwide to promote blockchain studies.

Eric van Miltenburg, SVP of Global Operations at Ripple, has said the company supports the university’s mission to encourage students participate in blockchain research.
