Ripple’s Big Game: SBI says “Extremely Superior” while Liquidation & Usage Amplifying

Ripple is constantly expanding its network as XRP liquidation increases, SBI declares Ripple being “extremely superior in terms of cost-effective speed and economy”, Kotak Mahindra Bank CDO talks on joining RippleNet while TrasnferGo and PropyInc utilize Ripple as well.

XRP exchange liquidation increasing rapidly

Crypto market is strongly driven by price when the focus should be on development, technology, and adoption. Price will automatically follow, if not in the short term then in the long term for sure.

Today, in a very short span, the entire crypto market plunged. If we take a look at the XRP price, it is down by 8.57% at $0.308. Apparently, sellers are flushing the buyers out of the market. Bitcoin’s free fall has taken Ethereum (ETH), XRP and other cryptos with it to the ground.

According to XRP enthusiast Leonidas, another exchange has come into XRP’s bag:

In the crypto market, it is essential for a cryptocurrency to keep on adding exchanges to its name. When it comes to XRP, the 3rd largest cryptocurrency has made quite a progress as revealed by XRP enthusiasm Hodor who shares,

“Less than one year ago, I inventoried all of the known worldwide exchanges that carried XRP, and arrived at approximately 29 exchanges. And recently, I again took inventory of the number of XRP exchanges and entry points, and the number was 105 and growing quickly. This represents more than a 300% increase in the number of liquidity endpoints in less than a year, with some of the new entrants representing milestones in Ripple’s overall xRapid roll-out strategy.”
