Despite the lawsuit against Ripple, the fintech firm seems not moved. The recent announcement records another partnership deal between itself, Ripple, Lulu Exchange, a UAE-based exchange, and the Federal Bank, a leading Indian private bank. According to the announcement, the new partnership will enhance the real-time payments from UAE to India.
The Latest Ripple Partnership Deal
As revealed in Lulu Exchange UAE’s tweet, the exchange, Ripple, with the Federal Bank, is entering a new partnership.
This is coming simultaneously when Ripple embattles the Securities Exchange Commission in a lawsuit leveled against them.
According to the announcement, the partnership will further enhance real-time payments between the United Arab Emirates and India. The partnership will provide a better, faster, and cheaper means of sending money between them.
On XRP’s price, the market doesn’t seem to be enthusiastic about this new feat as the value of XRP, Ripple’s native token continues to drop, posting a 5.11% loss in the past seven days.
