Last month, the company said that the Japan Bank Consortium will use their xcurrent technology to settle payments with Woori Bank and Shinhan Bank, two of South Korea’s largest banks.

In India, Ripple is available for trading through Koinex. It reached a high of INR 201 in the past 24 hours. It also works as a digital payment system. Transactions usually take place within seconds.

San Francisco-based Ripple launched the currency in 2012. The company was founded by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb. Its current CEO is Brad Garlinghouse.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Garlinghouse said, “2017 has been the year of the digital asset, and XRP has clearly outperformed every other digital asset. The reason for that is that the market has realised that XRP is a highly efficient payments mechanism that is solving real-world problems for real-world customers with real money.”

Unlike other currencies, Ripple is 100 percent pre-mined and can only bought at an exchange. It is said to be a more secure payment system than its rivals.

A Forbes report says the value of cryptocurrencies swelled to more than $600 billion in 2017, creating several crypto-currency millionaires in the process.
