Global Banks Increasingly Using Ripple's Fintech For Transactions

Ripple’s partial victory in its legal battle with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) has significantly increased its popularity. The firm utilizes the XRP token for cross-border transactions and remittances. A US court ruled that the firm’s sale of XRP to retail customers does not constitute securities, despite the SEC’s claims. Although the court ruling did say that the sale of tokens to institutions fell under the definition of security, more and more firms are lining up to partner with the crypto firm to utilize its blockchain network.
