Crypterium, a financial and technological company that is fixated on making virtual currencies as flexible and accessible as fiat currencies, announced its decision to support Ripple (XRP) yesterday.
A few years in their existence, a lot of great things can be said about virtual currencies. Cryptos are fast, secure, and reliable modes of payments that are accessible to everyone who wants to utilize. However, there is one thing a majority of them are still struggling with: stability.
Earlier this year, Crypterium conducted research asking for user opinions concerning cryptocurrencies. After processing multiple feedbacks, the message was clear: Crypterium needs to support virtual currencies in its wallet.
Yesterday, the fintech company took to their website to announce to the world the decision to support Ripple’s XRP on its Crypterium Wallet. The native cryptocurrency of Ripple is not the first crypto asset the company has added as the firm recently introduced support for USD Coin (USDC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), too.
