Ripple is expanding its services despite legal troubles
This week, Ripple hired software engineer and XRP advocate Matt Hamilton as its director of developer relations on the RippleX team. He will commence his new job in February. In his statement, he stated that the adoption of XRPL was only getting begun. Earlier, RippleX revealed a Java library for communicating with XRPL Ledger back in December. It was its very first project after commencement.
Moreover, Ripple has been extending its services. Earlier, Ripple signed a deal with a Malaysian money transfer business and Bangladesh’s largest mobile financial services provider to allow a remittance passage between them. Malaysia’s Mobile Money and Bangladesh’s bKash will leverage Ripple’s global payments network, RippleNet, for wallet-to-wallet transactions. The expansion and proposed new hire show Ripple does not appear discouraged by the legal troubles in the U.S. The company is being accused by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over the claim that it infringed federal securities laws by trading the XRP to retail customers.
Following the lawsuit, various exchanges have stopped trading XRP. The crypto venues who have suspended XRP trading include OKCoin, Coinbase, Bittrex, Genesis, Binance.US, eToro, and Kraken exchange. Recently, Ripple’s CEO, announced that Devraj Varadhan has followed Ripple as its new Senior Vice President of Engineering. He is a former Vice president at Amazon for enhancing delivery experience.
