The LinkedIn list describes Ripple as following:
“Finance, modernized: Sending money between banks, across borders, remains stubbornly antiquated. Ripple uses blockchain technology to transform what had been a multi-day process into one completed in seconds. The 6-year-old startup now has more than 100 customers, including massive banks such as Santander and Standard Chartered; it added two new customers a week last quarter.”
LinkedIn has also revealed that the San Francisco-based company’s global headcount is 250. LinkedIn says
“Ripple effect: While some blockchain companies are still “playing in the sandbox,” as Ripple tells LinkedIn, it’s focused on growth — it plans to hire another 75 people by year’s end.”
Other four companies that made it to the list are as follows:
- Coinbase – It stands 3rd on the list. The 6-year-old crypto broker, the largest in the US has recorded “spectacular growth”. The firm now has more than 20 million accounts.
- Robinhood – It has been given the 6th position.
- Gemini Trust Company – It is placed 25th in the rank list.
- ConsenSys – With 26th rank, it stands next to Gemini Trust Company.
As mentioned earlier, Ripple has signed a partnership agreement with BeeTech, a Brazilian company which offers “financial solutions that integrate all processes originated in cross-border transactions.” Ripple continues to forge at least one partnership a week, as per the details revealed by its CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
