Ripple was in the news a lot in 2020, despite the global crisis that’s been triggered by the coronavirus pandemic.
This changes our lives and took a massive hit at economies all over the world. More analysts say that in times during these, the true potential of crypto will shine.
Ripple announced a new product – loans platform
Ripple made headlines again just recently when it’s been revealed that the firm is bringing a new product to the market that’s centered on working capital lending.
In a new job listing, the firm said that they are looking for a director of product management to spearhead the platform.
“This person will bring a new loan product to market from concept to launch for RippleNet customers.”
An XRP-powered e-commerce payments platform
Ripple’s director of product said that he is considering launching an XRP-powered e-commerce payments platform.
Craig DeWitt said that the platform would be really easy to integrate on any website looking to accept crypto.
“Considering launching an e-commerce payments platform using payburner, open to the world… the guts of xSongs already does this beautifully,” he said.
He continued and explained that “[This would] make it stupid simple to use so anyone can accept XRP payments in their personal sites with a simple code snippet.”
It’s also important to mention the fact that DeWitt rolled out xSongs back in December – this is a new digital marketplace that allows musicians to sell their songs online in exchange of XRP.
There are no fees to upload/post sings and the musicians get 100% of the revenue from their sales via XRP payments.
After DeWitt mentioned the idea of a new XRP-powered e-commerce payments platform, Wietse Wind, CEO of XRPL Labs, backed him in the comments, offering support.
We could team up, doing payburner and #xumm implementations (enable one or both in a simple e-commerce platform specific admin module) at once?
