According to the vice-president of the San Francisco-based blockchain project Ashisha Birla, Ripple uses the economy of a developing country to dislodge bitcoin from the first place in the list of largest coins by the volume of market capitalization.
Recall that Ripple – cryptocurrency platform for payment systems, focused on transactions with the exchange of currencies without refunds. In India, through the development of the banking sector, Ripple hopes to capture 80% of the market. To do this, they intend to conclude strategic partnerships with the country’s largest banks.
