Ripple Inc. has done well in focusing on lifting the banking industry from the impact of the last financial crisis which pushed banks into struggling to keep afloat. Liquidity challenge faced by banks mostly when it comes to interbank transactions is now a thing of the past with Ripple’s decentralized financial tools.

Banking is a very competitive business which is conducted in a fast-paced environment. It draws focus from, individuals, government and businesses since banks control a greater portion of the national wealth. Still, a lot of challenges has hindered the banks from functioning as expected, pushing them into institutional difficulties and financial crisis.

In the banking history, the 2008 financial crisis was a great jolt on the global financial system almost hitting it down to an edge of collapse. It began with the bankruptcy one of the biggest financial institutions, a Wall Street investment bank, Lehman Brothers. This led them to file for bankruptcy on the 5th of September 2008. In a single day, 90 billion pounds was lost from one of Britain’s biggest companies. The then President, George W Bush declared there was no bailout for Lehman Brothers, this began the banking crisis.

Since 2008, the banking institution has not fully recovered from the effect of the crisis, it still lingers. Banks have downsized, the business environment is no longer as robust as it used to be, the system needs help. The only way out is to launch banking into an entirely different system and this can only be achieved through blockchain technology.

Ripple decentralized financial tools seem to be the answer to bank recovery from the effect of the past financial crisis. The financial tools are, xRapid, xCurrent, and xVia. These decentralized financial tools created by Ripple enables banks to perform transaction faster, at a cheaper cost.
