RippleNet continues to expand in Asia
Ripple’s recent partnership has played a significant role in the price increase of XRP. The blockchain company stated that the latest collaboration with GME would expand RippleNet adoption in Asia. GME Remittance is one of the biggest non-bank remittance service providers in South Korea. GME Remittance is now linked to Siam Commercial Bank (SCB), Thailand’s largest bank in terms of market capitalization, thanks to its participation with RippleNet. Subash Chandra Poudel, Director and COO of Global Money Express Co. Ltd. (GME Remittance), stated in his latest announcement: In 2021, Ripple has developed several partnerships to increase the adoption of RippleNet and XRP.
