XRP price continues to stay relatively stable amidst bloodbath in the cryptocurrency market. There have been several developments around Ripple. Distributed ledger technology is expanding all over the world and Ripple is one of the most important companies in the space. Ripple has recently signed up Euro Exim Bank, based out in London, to use Ripple's xRapid service. The CEO of  Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, seems very enthusiastic about future developments in the financial industry as he had predicted the same that most of the financial institutions will be using xRapid for liquidity advantages. Ripple has a financial and banking network that reaches now more than 150 clients all over the world which have also increased the trust of customers in financial institutions that now can process cross-border payments in a faster, more secure and easier way.  The bulls might kick off from early 2019 for XRP as it looks stronger as compared to other cryptos at times of volatility.


Recently, Japan’s MUFG Bank announced the signing of a MoU with Banco Bradesco, a Brazil-based banking service. The MoU discussed a partnership between the two organization to create a cross-border payment corridor which would be powered by the Ripple technology. If Ripple successfully ties up with Apple as the investors are working towards and mostly expected to happen in 2019, the value of Ripple will increase significantly. This means that it becomes easier for the ripple holders to encash their holding as well. This would also certainly increase the credibility of Ripple. At the same point, any such tie-up will ensure that more investors would invest in ripple which is why it will significantly propel the price of Ripple forward. Additionally, such association will bring credibility to the entire cryptocurrency industry. It will prove to be the largest such tie-up.

A few days back, National Bank of Kuwait(NBK) has announced that it has launched a new remittance service, (known as NBK direct remit) by joining Ripple's blockchain-based payment network, which can enable instant cross-border payments. It is starting with a remittance window to Jordon, plans to be eventually followed by China, London, Paris, Egypt, UAE, Bahrain, and other countries.

Ripple is consistently adding new clients including some marquee names in the banking world like American Express, Standard Chartered, Axis Bank, Santander and MUFG which helps in tackling the problem of liquidity issues.

Ripple (XRP) i definitely doing the best as a crypto solving real life issue in some banks or monetary institutions wanna implement it there.
The prediction of XRP reaching $1+ this year i hard to admit unless we see a whole cryptosphere mve, i on't think Ripple will made it by itself while the whole market is screwed no matter how the partnership XRP will keep brining.
To sum up, i would say Ripple should be in your portfolio for sure, a big chunk of your portfolio should have Ripple for life now, you never know hen it boom with the right bull run.

Ripple has done well to bridge the gap between the decentralized and Centralized financial realms and this been one of the forerunners of cryptocurrency adoption, I see 2019 as another year of effort consolidation by the Ripple team

0.99 will be the best price to my mind...

I think predicting a tokens price is not that easy atleast in this market. Cause this market is highly risky and highly volatile. Xrp is no doubt is one of the best project. They have really good team and advisory board. They do their job at time. Xrp is a payment and banking based crypto. And the technology of ripple is already accepted by many small medium bank from worldwide. But problem of xrp is that in some way it will be run by bank or backed by banks. So they can manipulate it's price. So maybe it can touch 3.0$ again but we need a good market for that. That's it.

Ripple is centralized trash. Ask any bank, large institution or government which coin they'd rather use. They will say XRP. Ripple has signed contracts with banks and companies to buy and sell the token at a stable price in any point in time and never lose money when using XRP as a medium to transport their money. The time we saw XRP price pumped so hard was the time when Bitcoin price hit an astonishing high rate. Before making any prediction on XRP, I will remind you one simple fact which is the Ripple company own 55 billion of its XRP and the team sells average 300 million XRP per month since mid 2016. This whole thing feels shady.

Not only shady but there was a lot of accusations of the ripple team has been manipulating the marketcapitalization and circulating supply. Look at the twitter and you will find a war about that and it seems like so many people are accusing this company.

We have too many XRP price predictions thread and anything related to it.
