Ripple’s mission is to enable payments every way, everywhere for everyone
We believe connecting traditional financial entities like banks, payment providers and corporations with emerging blockchain technologies and users is the path to an open, decentralized, and more inclusive financial future
This Internet of Value gives any internet-enabled person, application or device access to financial services that are transparent, fast, reliable, and cheap
Delivering this vision is a challenge of massive scale spanning $155 trillion in annual cross border fiat payments and the $1,5 trillion market of digital assets that has grown 10X in the last year
