Visa and Mastercard are locked in a bidding war to purchase Ripple partner Earthport. Visa is the latest to up the ante, offering $319 million for the British cross-border payment company, Reuters reports.
Earthport partnered with Ripple in 2014 and has been rumored to be testing Ripple’s XRP-based xRapid for international payments, although there is no official confirmation.
My take: There's so much more news... but suffice it to say, 2019 is going to be a Great year (in m opinion... not financial advise).
What we need most is regulatory clarity and lawmakers are looking over the proposed "Token Taxonomy Act," (which might take some time to get approval). But in the meanwhile, the latest news from the SEC is very encouraging.
XRP is NOT a security - that is Great to finally hear.
