支付公司Ripple宣布 与在线市场 Lemonway 的支付提供商建立合作伙伴关系。这是第一个将利用由 XRP 支持的 RippleNet 按需流动性 (ODL) 解决方案的法国客户。
支付提供商将使用 ODL 来改进其资金支付流程。作为比特币主义者报告 , Ripple 一直在尝试通过允许合作伙伴优化其资金流动和管理来扩展 ODL 和 XRP 的用例。
因此，Lemonway 将能够消除其财务流程中的摩擦，消除对国外预基金账户的需求，并降低整个流程的成本。 Lemonway 首席运营官 Jeremy Ricordeau 说：
通过使用 Ripple 的 ODL 来支持 Lemonway 的资金业务，我们期待为我们的业务带来显着的利益，我们可以反过来将这些利益传递给我们的客户。 Ripple 的解决方案让我们在向合作伙伴付款时具有更大的灵活性，将我们从传统的银行业务截止周期中解放出来并提高运营效率 (...)。
Ripple在欧洲支付站稳脚跟，对OLD的需求会越来越强？
除了与 Lemonway 合作外，这家支付公司还宣布与瑞典汇款提供商 Xbaht 建立合作伙伴关系。合作伙伴将启用瑞典和泰国之间第一个基于 XRP 的桥梁。
因此，该国的客户将能够发送和接收即时且低成本的零售汇款。 Xbaht 首席执行官迈克尔安德森 (Michael Andersen) 就他们与支付公司关于跨境支付的共同愿景以及这种伙伴关系将如何实现这一愿景发表了以下看法：
与 Ripple 一样，我们认为国际支付应该快速无缝。这就是为什么我们很高兴建立新的合作伙伴关系，以简化我们的客户在两国之间汇款的流程，使流程更快、更可靠，并降低成本 (...)。
支付公司进行的一项名为“商业及以后的加密货币趋势”的研究声称，对基于 XRP 的产品的需求很高。这报告 对欧洲的金融机构进行了一项调查，以衡量他们对加密货币和区块链技术的兴趣。
该研究得出结论，70% 的参与者对支持数字资产的基础技术持积极看法。他们认为区块链将在“未来五年内对他们的业务产生巨大或重大影响”。
此外，约 60% 的受访者声称对使用加密货币和区块链进行支付感兴趣。因此，这两个新的 Ripple 合作伙伴关系对于希望扩展其与新生资产类别的整合的地区至关重要。
这家支付公司因涉嫌提供未注册证券 XRP 而与美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 打官司。然而，加密领域的看法是 Ripple 会看到积极的结果。
如果对 OLD 和 XRP 支付产品的需求已经很高，那么如果支付公司在 SEC 中获胜，它可能会走高。 Ripple 提供的其他数据称，自 2021 年以来，他们基于 XRP 的产品增长了约 10 倍，年化支付额达到 150 亿美元。
在撰写本文时，XRP 的交易价格为 0.48 美元，并在过去 7 天内以 2% 的利润围绕关键阻力位盘整。当大多数加密货币以红色交易时，XRP 的价格积极的价格表现充分说明了市场定价对支付公司有利的结果。
