With Ripple (XRP) has surpassed Litecoin in the market cap race to feature 3rdplace in the crypto-space (Mkt.cap of Ripple – $18.40 bln, Litecoin - $8.40), as the buying sentiments are mounting higher but the understanding of the variances between the Ripple as an organization and the XRP as a token still appears to be deficient. So, it is wise to empathize the driving forces of XRP, their strategic alliances and the fundamentals of the same.
Ripple has recently announced a strategic partnership with money transfer giant MoneyGram today.
Thereby, Ripple is reportedly in a pact to infuse up to $50 million in the form of capital to MoneyGram in exchange for equity over a two-year period. While MoneyGram is also expected to leverage the xRapid product, that is likely to enable the company to tap into on-demand XRP liquidity for cross-border payments, as per the announcement.
xRapid is the rationale protraction of the current service. xRapid also works more similarly to xCurrent. Even so, it requires the XRP as a currency. Where XRP provides the liquidity requirements in overseas transactions. Most importantly, eliminates the need for expensive Nostro accounts.
