This has seen it make a significant partnership with over 120 banks in the world, to aid real-time cross-border transactions efficiently.
The revelation of the Ripplenet recently that it operates in over 40 countries across six continents is highly significant to its wide success.
Further, the recent news of the plan of Ripple introducing the xRapid, a real-time cross-border payment that will make Ripple (XRP) cryptocurrency a bridge in the cross-border transactions process has further created much excitement about the cryptocurrency. This, however, is to be launched soon.
Notably, the news of a partnership with banks and widespread growth in continents has aided the recent price surge of the cryptocurrency, which some people regard as just hyping.

Also, the xRapid that was just mentioned by Sagar Sarbhai is yet to be launched, but its prospects are exciting in the industry. This is characterised as rumour and mere speculation. Many expect a price is retracing very soon.
However, the xRapid is considered a vital need for the recovery of the price of Ripple. Regardless of these, time will justify if it’s just an ordinary speculative rise or reality.
