Ripple (available on Binance) success continues after April ended positively for Ripple (available on Binance) Inc. Who published a report with the financial results obtained in the first quarter of 2018. The company announced a substantial increase in the popularity — and sales — of its XRP token:

“Additionally [to the direct sales of 167.7 Million USD handled by them], the company sold $151.1 million worth of XRP programmatically, as a small percentage of overall exchange volume. These sales represented 0.095 percent (9.5 basis points) of the $160.0 billion traded globally in XRP in Q1. Significantly larger volumes of XRP were traded in Q1, particularly during the first half of the quarter, resulting in a notional increase in programmatic sales by Ripple (available on Binance).”

David Schwartz, Ripple (available on Binance)’s chief cryptographer, explained a few months ago what programmatic sales are and what do they mean for Ripple (available on Binance) Inc: “This is done by third parties that Ripple (available on Binance) employs to use agreed algorithms to execute sales, usually by market making that is biased in favor of a net sale. Ripple (available on Binance) does not have direct control over these sales and cannot adjust their timing on a short-term basis.”

They also mentioned that XRP’s trading volume increased considerably to unprecedented historical levels. An achievement for the team that has made a sTron (available on Binance)g effort in the promotion and international acceptance of their product.

Additionally, the company sold $151.1 million worth of XRP programmatically, as a small percentage of overall exchange volume. These sales represented 0.095 percent (9.5 basis points) of the $160.0 billion traded globally in XRP in Q1. Significantly larger volumes of XRP were sold in Q1, particularly during the first half of the quarter, resulting in a notional increase in programmatic sales by Ripple (available on Binance).

They also stated that the increase in sales volume is also attributable to their listing on several leading exchanges and cryptomarkets such as Abra and Uphold. Another aspect that boosted sales volume and confidence in the currency the broad Ripple (available on Binance) coverage by “headlines across the digital asset market (…) ranged from specific xRapid customer announcements to regulatory developments around the globe”.

More Strategic Alliances Add to the Ripple (available on Binance) Success List

Another reason for the increase not only in the value of the XRP but also in the perception of the company’s strength has been the partnerships they achieved. In addition to successful agreements with financial giants such as SAMA, Western Union, and MoneyGram, Ripple (available on Binance) announced five new business partners: FairFX (UK); RationalFX (UK), Exchange4Free (UK), UniPay (Georgia) and Money Match (Malaysia).

These five new clients will benefit from the xVia platform to process their financial transactions.

This information was confirmed in an “Ask Me Anything” conducted by Corey Johnson, Ripple (available on Binance)’s Chief Marketing Officer who made it possible to conclude how the company handles the information that Santander would soon use xCurrent and xRapid.
