According to media reports, BitPay has partnered with Ripple Xpring , a business unit that engages business partners in the use of XRP and the company's blockchain.

Thanks to this collaboration, business representatives will be able to accept XRP for payments through the BitPay trading platform. BitPay prepaid card and wallet holders will also be able to store and pay with XRP tokens.

At the same time, Ripple presented the Xpring software development package, including tools for working with the XRP protocol and the Ripple Interledger Protocol (ILP), for integrating payments in XRP into any application.

"To support the growth and the development of the #XRP ecosystem, we really needed to make it easier to build with these technologies and allow our customers and our partners to focus on solving real-world customer problems." @Ethanbeard https: // t.co/eAmPQuT1ja via @Forbes
