Ripple Expands Influence By Adding Shinhan, Second Top Korean Bank, to Its Customers

Ripple keeps expanding its network by adding new banks; this time it has signed up Shinhan, the second biggest banking institution in South Korea, to RippleNet

Good news for the XRParmy that celebrate the appearance of each new Ripple banking partner. This time they can rejoice about Ripple partnering with Shinhan, the second-biggest bank in South Korea. Korea’s fifth-largest bank, Woori Bank, is also with Ripple already.

The report comes from a Sagar Sarbai presentation at Ripple that happened recently. It clearly shows Shinhan bank among Ripple’s current clients.



Ripple signs up more major banks to RippleNet As reported by U.Today recently, Ripple has also teamed up with a few more big banks to use its blockchain system for instant cross-border payments. Among them is the National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) that operates in the Middle East.
 The others are Interbank from Peru and Vitesse, based in the UK.
 These two are going to use Ripple’s xCurrent system that competes with SWIFT but does not use XRP.



XRP usage among Ripple partners remains tiny The majority of Ripple partners at the moment are using only Ripple’s ledger but only few are actually utilizing XRP for transnational payments.
 The global payments operator MoneyGram, backed by Ripple’s investments as of late, is one of them.
 There have been rumors in the community that the US-based Coinbase exchange is a ‘secret partner’ of Ripple that helps MoneyGram quickly send XRP to Mexico to get XRP then changed for the Mexican peso.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
