Official Announcement of the Partnership on the Ripple Website
Expanding Blockchain Solutions for Financial Resilience
Ripple’s expanded collaboration with MCV provides financial and technical support to the fintechs and the SMEs leveraging the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ripple’s suite of products, including the soon-to-launch Ripple USD Stablecoin (RLUSD). These solutions focus on financial inclusion use cases such as remittances, micropayments, and tokenization of real-world assets.
“Mercy Corps Ventures has been a trusted partner for XRP,” said Ken Weber, Ripple Vice President of Sustainability and Social Impact, “With Unlocking Opportunity we are confident we can maximize the impact of our partnership for entrepreneurs on the frontlines of financial innovation and aid-delivery.”
Strengthening Ripple XRP’s Momentum
This initiative significantly boosts XRP’s momentum by driving real world use cases. Supporting fintech startups will give rise to increase adoption of the XRPL and XRP, particularly in the emerging markets where blockchain can address critical financial challenges.
The introduction of RLUSD will further enhance XRPL’s utility, encouraging its integration into payment, savings, and remittance systems.
As of now, XRP price has not dropped below the $1 mark and currently the XRP price stands at $1.10
Scaling Impactful Solutions
XRP’s $5.5 million commitment has already catalyzed investment in 54 startups, 44% of which have at least one female co-founder, resulting in $500 million in follow-on funding.
The Crypto for Good Fund, part of this initiative, offers equity-free grants of upto $100,000 for Web3 solutions. Applications focus on DeFi loans, stablecoins, and asset tokenization, advancing XRP’s vision for financial inclusion.
Ripple and MCV share a goal of building resilient economies through blockchain which can be fulfilled with Unlocking Opportunity. On December 3, a webinar is going to be hosted by MCV and XRPL Commons which will guide innovators on leveraging XRPL for transformative projects further promoting XRP adoption.
