Ripple to join forces with Fubon Bank

The announcement indicated that HKMA’s CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) pilot programme aims to highlight critical problems related to tokenized deposits, tokenized assets, and web3 transactions. Meanwhile, the administration will use the 3-rail strategy to launch the e-HKD.

Reports added that Ripple would partner with Fubon Banks, one of the leading commercial banks based in Taiwan. Also, the blockchain company will concentrate on equity release leveraging and real estate asset tokenization.

Meanwhile, Ripple believes real-world asset tokenization will be a trillion-dollar industry come 2030. Furthermore, government sectors and financial services have also shown an appetite for tokenization of such commodities.

Also, the report confirmed that Ripple’s solution for lending protocols, tokenized real estate, and e-HKD would operate on a safe ledge, similar to XRPL (XRP Ledger).

The development comes as the crypto company faces its “unending” battle with the United States Securities & Exchange Commission. The lawsuit focuses on characterizing the firm’s native coin, XRP. The regulator believes XRP is a security.

The latest judge ruling was optimistic for Ripple, XRP, and other defendants. Nonetheless, the Ripple vs. SEC battle awaits summary judgment.

XRP price

XRP price has witnessed positive cues lately. The alternative token started soaring following the latest Ripple win against SEC. While publishing this article, XRP traded at $0.4641, surging 4.66% over the past day. The asset’s impressive moves attract crypto community attention – a recipe for more upsides in the upcoming sessions.
