Yesterday, it was announced that one of SBI's subsidiaries, SBI VC Trade, will be responsible for running a validator of the XRP Ledger blockchain network.
Well known as a cryptocurrency exchange, SBI's arm will be directly contributing to integrity and decentralization of XRP Ledger as well as to the security of its transactions.
