The parent body for the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency is known for its initiatives to support cryptocurrency and blockchain startups and also to deliver solutions to a large number of financial institutions already in their hundreds, all over the world.

Recently, Thailand’s oldest banks also announced a partnership with Ripple using the firm’s network to speed up transactions significantly and this is just one example. Now, according to the firm, it has recorded an outstanding number of transactions via its RippleNet platform.

The firm, on its official website, recently announced its official launch of operations to Brazil, the biggest country in the South American continent. Also, as part of this announcement, Ripple disclosed a significant increase in new additions to its RippleNet and also the number of transactions on the platform.

“Ripple is experiencing dramatic growth, adding an average of two to three new financial institutions to RippleNet each week. The company saw more transactions on the network in Q1 ’19 than it did in all of 2018.”

RippleNet

RippleNet is the company’s network of corporate payment providers who use different solutions powered by the firm. xRapid and xCurrent are two Ripple-powered solutions with most of Ripple’s current clients using xCurrent to easily facilitate cross-border payments.

Currently, there already are a few different financial institutions in Brazil that use RippleNet. Some of them include Santander Brasil, BeeTech and Banco Rendimento.

This continuous growth is guaranteed to add a few more feathers to RippleNet and see its application spread continuously.
