According to some Ripple employees, it will be easy for RippleNet customers to migrate to xRapid in the future, as soon as there is regulatory clarity in the ongoing discussion about the position of XRP as a digital asset. Ripple’s network currently has over 150 members, most of whom are banks, payment providers and financial institutions. The switch to xRapid and use of XRP token will sink the low transfer fees even lower which is a big selling point XRP and this Ripple solution.
What are the best wallets for XRP token?
Other benefits within the xCurrent upgrade include support for multi-hop payments. This technology enables the generation of liquidity through the use of the XRP token, without banks having to make excessive efforts to obtain new funds. In addition, transactions can be processed faster and cheaper. Furthermore, Dilip Rao, Ripple’s global head of infrastructure innovation, promises to ensure seamless payment processing:
Milestone in the scaling of RippleNet! Now, any regional bank can act as a correspondent bank, connecting originators and beneficiaries with multiple intermediaries, with full data transparency and a single atomic point of contact across all branches. Fees down, speed up!
Cory Johnson, chief strategist at Ripple, did not announce an exact schedule, but pointed out that the oldest products will have the greatest focus, as companies have been testing them for the longest time and are able to find actual practice results and make investment decisions based on them. The pilot results showed exponential speed improvements as well as 40-70% lower transaction fees. The future integration of xCurrent and xRapid could bring a great added value for RippleNet customers.
