The Ace Plan Of Ripple XRP

While investors in XRP may be feeling a tinge of disappointment regarding the crypto’s recent 5.9% drop in value, the smart money is on investment in Ripple being a long game – and here’s why:
Ripple is strengthening access to emerging markets in Brazil, India and China. Figures from the World Bank suggest that global remittance payments are on course to increase by approximately 3.4% – that’s $466 billion – in 2018, with two of the previously mentioned countries (India and China) having the highest incoming flows last year.
Emerging markets are home to 85% of the global population, accounting for nearly 60% of global GDP. With this comes a need for efficient, cost-effective and transparent payment systems – something which RippleNet provides.
Exciting new partnerships
Ripple on Playing Card
Brazil’s largest private-sector financial institution (Itaú Unibanco) and a leading Indian bank (IndusInd) have announced plans to use Ripple’s xCurrent technology to facilitate quick and easy cross-border payments across the world.
In addition to this, RippleNet members have increased access to Southeast Asia, with over half a million transactions per year utilising RippleNet to connect customers with over 60 countries worldwide.
Do higher remittance payments mean higher XRP prices?
In short, yes. Ripple facilitates the transfer of money across international borders, and increased payments means increased XRP value. Ripple has already signed deals with three of the big five remittance providers in the world – MoneyGram International, Mercury Foreign Exchange Ltd and IDT Corporation – in what can only be a strategic move.
Remittance providers don’t pose huge risks to the global financial order, and in turn face much less regulation than the big banks. Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, likely understands this – and is on a mission to carve out some of the $466 billion available for Ripple.
Ultimately, when all three of these huge remittance providers agreed to use XRP, it set in motion the potential for a long-term increase in the value of XRP. Crypto analysts are cautiously predicting a $10 target for the currency by the end of 2018, making now the perfect time to invest.

Malta-based cryptocurrency company probed in New York

Concerns about the lack of robust real-time and historical market surveillance capabilities A Malta-based cryptocurrency  exchange has been referred to the US department of financial services for potential violation of New York’s virtual currency regulations. The New York State Attorney General said Binance, Gate.io and Kraken had been referred to the US department for financial services after an investigation into whether those platforms accepted trade from within New York state. Binance, touted as the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, relocated to Malta earlier this year amid hype by the government. Malta’s embrace of blockchain technology led it to become a hub for cryptocurrency exchanges. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had welcomed Binance to Malta in a Tweet. As part of a study into the cryptocurrency market, the New York Attorney General sought the voluntary participation of 13 cryptocurrency exchanges in a fact-finding inquiry into the policies and practices of vi

Soulja Boy's 'Bitcoin' Millions, PwC Backs a Stablecoin, Tether Sinks Below $1

PricewaterhouseCoopers, the top accounting firm better known as PwC, is backing a cryptocurrency—specifically, a so-called stablecoin backed by the U.S. dollar. The accounting firm is partnering with Cred, a decentralized lending startup that’s developing a new stablecoin pegged to the dollar, PwC announced Monday. PwC will offer its accounting expertise to ensure Cred’s dollar-backed coin “can provide 100% transparency and value substantiation,” the firm said in a statement. To hear PwC tell it, a lack of trust in stablecoins—and the existence of the dollar reserves backing them—has been keeping many potential investors out of cryptocurrency entirely. According to PwC, making the dollar reserves backing stablecoins fully auditable will “usher in the next 100 million users of crypto assets.” PwC is just the latest major firm to jump on the stablecoin bandwagon, joining  companies like IBM  and  venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz,  who see the coins as a digital proxy for the
