In a new investor report from SBI Holdings, the group intends to expand usage and push for mass adoption with new platforms and giveaways.
SBI Ripple Asia, a joint venture with Ripple and a consortium of 61 Asian Banks says it will use up to 50% of RippleNet once it gets going.
Considering RippleNet has been breaking daily transaction records, mainly from MoneyGram’s Mexican corridor, you can see why this will be huge.
In the report, which contains SBI’s performance and strategy, the group says it is going to be making use of XRP for remittance between Japan and South-East Asia, pointing that SBI Remit, a subsidiary of the SBI Holdings will increasingly make use of Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity service
