Ripple making major strides despite legal woes in the US
Despite its prolonged legal battle with the US SEC, Ripple has continuously made big strides globally. Ripple is still growing rapidly across the world as businesses continue to adopt it in other parts of the world outside the US.
Mid this month, Ripple partnered with an Italian motorcycle company Ducati to allow the company to launch its NFTs on the Ripple blockchain through the XRP Ledger. It is worth noting that minting and listing of NFTs on the XRP Ledger have also grown significantly over the last few months.
XRP, which is Ripple’s native token has also been recently adopted as a payment method on CryptoBar, a Tokyo-based cryptocurrency social media platform.
The continued adoption of Ripple blockchain products and services across the globe will certainly play a big role in the survivability of the blockchain once the case makes its final findings in the case of Ripple Vs. the US SEC. If the court rules against Ripple, Ripple would still have a fighting chance outside the US owing to the businesses that have adopted it outside the US.
