Ripple and XRP have been in the spotlight this year a lot due to various achievements, developments, adoption, and partnerships.
Ripple’s products are enjoying enhanced adoptions these days.
According to the latest reports, it has been confirmed that there are currently 19 companies which are using or plan to implement XRP shortly in order to power cross-border payments.
Ripple Vs. SWIFT
One of Ripple’s primary targets is to replace SWIFT and overcome all of its flaws.
The traditional payment system has been used by banks and financial institutions for decades now, but more voices are claiming that it became too old and its flaws are many.
They involve high fees, reduced security of transactions, slow speeds and more.
This is exactly what Ripple has been perfecting and it’s able to offer clients cheaper fees, faster and more secure transactions.

Ripple has already confirmed that there are four crypto exchanges on board with xRapid which is the company’s XRP-powered solution. These are Bittrex, Coins.ph, Bitso, and Bitstamp.
