Ripple is already making waves in the banking world and may be poised to become the #1 option for cross-border settlements between banks worldwide.

Ripple’s XRP has the third-largest market cap in the cryptocurrency world, but what gives it value? Ripple Lab’s intent was not to be a store of value or a currency, per se, like Bitcoin.
