A few days ago, an announcement was made about Ripple (available on Binance) launching an app with Spain’s largest bank, Banco Santander. This new app is called OnePay FX and it uses Ripple (available on Binance)’s underlying blockchain technology to process transfers between the United States and Europe. Presently, the app isn’t transferring XRP but is processing fiat.
Executive chairman of Banco Santander, Ana Botin, made a statement about the agreement saying:
“One Pay FX uses blockchain-based technology to provide a fast, simple and secure way to transfer money internationally—offering value, transparency, and the trust and service customers expect from a bank like Santander. Transfers to Europe can be made on the same day and we are aiming to deliver instant transfers across several markets by the summer.”
Ripple (available on Binance)’s technology is designed to be adopted by major financial institutions and the hope is that major banks around the world will eventually adopt XRP as the currency for transfer. Adoption of the Ripple (available on Binance) system is ultimately what gives XRP value. Presently, Ripple (available on Binance)’s tech is being tested in pilot projects around the globe including Standard Chartered in the UK and UBS out of Switzerland.
At press time, XRP is trading at $0.671 a coin, up 3.97%, in 24 hours.

Two days ago, Cardano’s founder announced ADA’s listing on Huobi and its price took a major spike. While there are no new updates on the progress of Cardano, you can always check their roadmap to stay up-to-date on the developer’s progress.
This is another example of when FUD causes propaganda to spread. Ouroboros is not based on DPoS. We borrowed nothing from Dan or EOS yet the article falsely asserts this https://t.co/Ho0DjyE6x4 you can have an opinion, but don’t lie

It seems the Cardano stealing Dan Larimer’s DPoS have begun resurfacing again. Not sure when this will be put to rest but Charles Hoskinson is clearly not having any of it – the feud lives on.
ADA is currently trading for $0.253 a coin, up 5.88%, in 24 hours.
IOTA (MIOTA)
The latest breaking news coming from the IOTA foundation is that they’ve just released a new website.

MIOTA is currently trading at $1.63 a coin, up 5.12%, in 24 hours.
