In a statement by Ripple, xRapid, a cross border payments tool that reduces liquidity costs has dependable speed, scalable and seamless. In the same vein the tool, unlike Swift, is powered by low transaction cost.
Cory Johnson, Chief Market Strategist at Ripple, who spoke on the development said:
“Bittrex is one of the biggest names in digital asset trading in the U.S. The same goes for Bitso in Mexico and Coins.ph in the Philippines. That makes today’s announcement an important development for xRapid.”
He added that
“We’ve seen several successful xRapid pilots already, and as we move the product from beta to production later this year, these exchange partners will allow us to provide financial institutions with the comfort and assurance that their payments will move seamlessly between different currencies.”
However, Ron Hose, CEO of South East Asia’s Coins.ph showed his happiness, pointing that,

Explaining Stellar’s Unlimited Cross Border Payment
Stellar is one of the few cryptocurrency with tenable use cases. Not long, Stellar grabbed a compliance certification, becoming the first distributed ledger protocol (DLT) to be conferred such opportunity. Stellar technology and network received the certification from The Shariyah Review Bureau (SRB), a renowned international Sharia advisory under the Central Bank of Bahrain.
The certificate of Shariah compliance makes Stellar (XLM) okay for Muslims in the middle east and confirms that Stellar does not involve in anything anti-Islam.
The certification according to a statement, will help
“grow the Stellar ecosystem in regions where financial services require compliance with Islamic financing principles. For example, Islamic financial institutions in the Gulf Cooperation Council (i.e. Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE) and parts of Southeast Asia (e.g. Indonesia and Malaysia) will now be able to integrate Stellar technology in their Sharia-compliant product and service offerings.”
The development is a revolution in the history of not only Stellar but in cryptocurrency world, and the move is expected to open cryptocurrency to myriads of opportunities it the region.
