Global #Payments

U.K. Finance, the trade association representing the UK’s financial services sector, has successfully completed the experimental phase of its tokenization and central bank digital currency (CBDC) platform.

In a major development for the payment industry, Circle’s CEO, Jeremy Allaire, has announced that the company is preparing to implement ‘tap-and-go’ payments with USDC on iPhones.

In the fast-paced world of finance, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is emerging as a game-changer. Created by Ripple, this decentralized, open-source blockchain technology is designed to address the inefficiencies and high costs of traditional cross-border payments. By leveraging the XRP Ledger's unique features, financial institutions, payment providers, and developers are finding new ways to streamline transactions and unlock innovative financial applications.
