Ripple continues to make significant strides in the global digital asset market. Learn how Ripple's CBDC platform and its partnerships are transforming India's financial systems.

Ripple's CBDC Platform and Its Impact on India

Central banks globally are exploring Ripple’s CBDC platform to digitize their financial systems. This technology is designed to help central banks and the government control digital currencies safely and effectively. In India, Ripple’s partnerships are significantly altering the landscape of digital payments.

Partnership with Kotak Mahindra Bank

Since 2018, Ripple has partnered with Kotak Mahindra Bank, one of India’s largest private banks. Through this partnership, Ripple has introduced its XRP Ledger and CryptoTradingFund (CTF) system into the Indian market. The CTF framework encourages the use of XRP by offering CTF tokens to customers for transactions. These tokens can be used within the system or exchanged for other currencies.

e-Rupee's Success in Daily Transactions

By the end of 2023, the e-rupee hit a significant mark of one million transactions per day. Banks played a pivotal role, providing incentives to retail customers and paying part of employees’ salaries in e-rupees. However, in recent months, daily transaction volumes have decreased, attributed to a waning interest after the incentives ceased.

Ripple’s technology plays a crucial role in India’s financial sector, particularly in the development of its Digital Rupee project. The inclusion of the XRP Ledger in India's digital currency plans demonstrates how blockchain can transform the world of finance.
