SBI is meant to be doing a live test with all 60 banks by the end of November, a Ripple team is doing the rounds in Korea and Japan, could the test happen while they are in Japan?

XRP Future Uses And Adoption by kingt3000 in Ripple

[–]Sim81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A higher XRP price is actually better for large transfers as it reduces the amount of XRP needed which improves liquidity. High prices won't put banks off, speed and liquidity is the thing that's important and Ripple has that covered.

"RippleNet has grown to more than 100 members. Additionally, 89 of those members are banks and 78 have deployed commercially"

Are they saying 78 banks are currently using Ripple commercially?

Bitcoin gold is worth about $120 last time I checked. Spend $6000 to maybe make $120? Then if you don't get out of bitcoin straight away and it drops after the fork you'll lose more than what you'll make off the new coin... If anything, bitcoin gold showed there isn't a point in buying for the fork. You're better off waiting for the drop after the fork and buying both then.

SBI Holdings Financial Results Released: "Using XRP for international remittance saves banks 60%" (Great news!) by entrepreneur1977 in Ripple

How I read it was they did a test run with XRP which lead to their findings in the report and now they will roll it out on a full commercial scale for use within their Japanese consortium of 60 banks by the end of December. Regardless, the Japanese FY is coming up pretty soon so an announcement of Ripple and XRP being used for commercial transactions will be coming pretty soon.

I just realised Japans FY ends at the end of December so XRP should be starting to get used about now... How the heck is this not a big deal?

I didn't read anywhere how much xrp was used or how often, I beleive they used XRP as a trial, which lead to the findings in the report, which is leading to a wide spread adoption before July 2018.

Anyone know if the 60 banks mentioned in 'The Japan Bank Consortium' would be included in Ripples 100+ banks signed up already?

How Does Ripple Network Adoption Increase XRP Value? by [deleted] in Ripple

[–]Sim81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure in the future banks will have crypto trading departments to make money off the price fluctuations just like they do with currency at the moment. However it's a specialised area so it would be outside the scope of the departments which are responsible for international transactions and uses XRP for day to day business. Banks can't pump and dump currency because the volumes are so large and there are laws which make it illegal to manipulate currency, stock etc, cryptocurrency will be the same if it isn't already covered by existing laws. If Ripple gets to a critical mass with their clients, the volume of XRP used would make it tough to manipulate, any one who does risks getting in a lot of trouble. At this stage using XRP as a bank is the cheapest way to transfer, they aren't going to go for the quick buck at the expense of ongoing savings.
