– One user, who goes by the moniker “IzombieXRP,” asked Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, Binance’s fervent chief executive, to list XRP as a base pair. In response to the quip CZ, being a good sport and all, responded by writing “[be] careful what you wish for,” ending his cryptic message with a cheeky smiley face. And now, just a few days later, Zhao, revealed that his brainchild — Binance — will be adding the aforementioned asset as a “quote (base) shortly.”
We will be adding a couple trading pairs with XRP as the quote currency shortly.
And rename ETH markets to ALTS market. Running out of space on the UI.
Merry Xmas!

– Ripple’s CEO Target: Brad Garlinghouse pointed out clearly the firm’s goal of delivering speedy solutions which take down friction inherent in completing cross-border transactions to banks and financial entities via block-tech by replacing SWIFT.
“The technologies that banks use today that Swift developed decades ago really hasn’t evolved or kept up with the market…Swift said not that long ago they didn’t see blockchain as a solution to correspondent banking. We’ve got well over 100 of their customers saying they disagree.”
– In an official press release issued by the MUFG on November 9, 2018, the finance giant announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding To Develop A New Cross-Border Payment Service as part of a joint effort between MUFG and Bradesco.
According to MUFG, both parties trust that Ripple Inc, the creator of the XRP is the best option to give life to the project:
“Through this MOU, MUFG Bank has decided to start the collaborative development for cross-border payments between Japan and Brazil, utilizing Ripple’s cutting-edge technology. The new payment system – developed by Ripple, a San Francisco-based software vendor – will assist the banks as they work toward commercializing a high-speed, transparent and traceable cross-border payments solution between Japan and Brazil”.
– In Q3 2018, “XRP Markets Report” shows that Ripple managed to sell $163 Million in XRP, despite the volatility and negative behavior of the overall market. According to the report, $65.27M were sold by the company while the rest were sold by a subsidiary registered as a Money Service Business (XRP II, LLC).
