Ripple is expanding its partner network in the Asian region, where an acute problem with high remittance costs, big delays in payment processing and lack of a reliable pool of correspondent banks force the financial institutions to seek for innovative technological solutions.

Ripple's technical picture
From the short-term point of view, XRP/USD is capped by a confluence of SMA50 and SMA100 (4-hour) at $0.4950. Once this hurdle is cleared, the recovery may be extended towards psychological $0.50, strengthened by the sloping trendline.
On the downside, the support lies with $0.4770 (SMA200, 4-hour) and $0.4600. A sustainable move lower will open up the way towards the recent low of $0.4157 (November 14).
