New Delhi: Ripple Labs Inc., a Google-backed firm and the world’s fourth most-funded blockchain start-up , has partnered with crypto-currency exchange BTCXIndia to start a buying and selling facility for XRP (ripple), the crypto-token used by Ripple. “We stopped trading functions to integrate Ripple technology to trade XRP. We are launching an integrated exchange that will allow users to trade in bitcoin, ethereum and XRP all through one user account,” Mupparaju said in a telephone interview. The platform, with only the XRP trading facility, went live last week offering XRP at Rs24.34 apiece. “Right now there only 50-odd ripples (XRP) in India but these are expected to increase with XRP exchange we are launching,” BTCXIndia’s Mupparaju said.
