Ripple’s Director of Product Launches XRP Payments and E-Commerce Platform
Ripple’s director of product is rolling out the beta version of Payburner, an XRP-based e-commerce payment platform.
In a new Twitter thread, Craig DeWitt, says Payburner is designed to make it extremely easy to send and receive instant global payments. The new product, which started as DeWitt’s side project, functions as a non-custodial wallet. DeWitt says the responsibility of safely storing the funds falls on the users as Payburner won’t have access to their passwords.

Standing on the doorstep of a new year and a new decade, it is hard to believe that the first real public engagement with digital assets began only a few short years ago in 2017. Over that year and into the next, speculators and media coverage drove wild fluctuations in interest and price—contributing to a series of both spectacular rises and precipitous falls in each.
But that digital asset roller coaster ride smoothed out over the course of 2019 as speculation subsided and specialized use cases began to emerge. That utility helped demonstrate value in digital assets beyond trading and contributed to increased stability.
While skeptics and critics might still view digital assets as a giant game of Jenga, just waiting for a wrong move to send all the blocks tumbling down, we here at Ripple see the future of digital assets as more like a vast set of Legos. By carefully piecing them together, it’s possible to reimagine familiar worlds or create entirely new ones.
Looking ahead, we believe 2020 will reveal new technologies and applications for digital assets that can lead to meaningful, tangible change across a wide range of industries. In particular, we expect three major themes to develop in this first year of the new decade that will lead to a more mainstream embrace of digital assets.
Digital Assets Underpin Consumer Financial Products
XRP is a digital asset custom-designed to facilitate cross-border payments. A number of companies, including MoneyGram and goLance, and applications have endorsed this use case and we anticipate even more will join the adoption curve over the coming year. But our team expects other digital assets and use cases to find traction in the coming year and decade.
Ripple SVP of Product Asheesh Birla predicts that mobile wallets will enter the blockchain and crypto industries in a big way. Specifically, he believes that “adoption of digital assets and blockchain technology among mobile wallets and super-apps like Gojek, Grab and PayPal will become more mainstream as they look to expand their services to keep up with customer demand and compete with digital banks.”
According to Asheesh, that adoption will continue expanding to include new credit and loan products. He expects that these more mainstream use cases will first emerge in developing markets like Kenya, Nigeria and parts of Latin America where the need is most acute. These applications will be aided by friendlier regulations towards digital assets, which will also make them more attractive to tech companies seeking paths to expansion.
Similarly, Ripple SVP of Customer Success Marcus Treacher sees international and micropayments expanding to facilitate new consumer uses. In particular, he envisions purchase solutions for tourists and travelers that no longer rely on cards or card rails taking root in 2020.
“Imagine if a Japanese tourist visiting Thailand could buy goods using a mobile app or QR code, triggering an immediate cross-border payment from their Japanese yen account to a Thai baht merchant’s account. If more consumer purchase solutions start leveraging blockchain technology in the same way, the payoff will—quite literally—be huge!”
Marcus also predicts that big tech companies will continue to enter the payment space, hastening the growth of micro and wallet payments supporting immediate, low-value payment flows. This expansion of micropayments beyond traditional messaging apps like Telegram and Line to deep pocketed enterprises should create a resulting surge of developers flocking to digital assets.
Institutional Adoption of Digital Assets Accelerates
For digital assets and associated applications to have long-term staying power, institutional players must embrace the technology. We anticipate that just such a wave of institutional adoption will begin in 2020 with more traditional firms deploying digital asset and blockchain-based solutions.
Breanne Madigan, our Head of Global Institutional Markets, says this will be enabled by trusted custody brands such as State Street or Bank of New York becoming involved in digital assets. “The presence of recognized players will increase institutional confidence in the space and pave the way for greater institutional adoption next year,” explains Breanne.
CEO Brad Garlinghouse is even bolder, predicting that half of the top 20 biggest banks in the world will actively hold and trade digital assets in 2020. He is also one of many on the team that believes fiat currencies will go digital in the next year.
While SVP of Xpring Ethan Beard expects at least one central bank to launch a tokenized representation of their fiat currency in 2020, Brad forecasts at least one non-G20 currency—like the Argentine peso or similar—will become fully digitized within the next year.

The weak rebound off the support line of the symmetrical triangle indicates a lack of buyers at higher levels. Currently, the bears are attempting to sink XRP below the triangle. The downsloping 20-day EMA ($0.197) and the relative strength index in the negative territory suggests an advantage to the bears.
XRPL Labs - the innovative Ripple-backed startup has recently announced the development of a revolutionary new banking app based on the XRP Ledger called Xign. The news was announced at the recent Bitrue event in Amsterdam that took place at the end of May.Xign is a mobile app that acts as a banking app without the use of banks. It allows users to check balances and transfer dollars, euros, XRP and other cryptocurrencies.
According to the founder of nodum. io and one of the lead developers at XRPL Wietse Wind, the new app is very easy to use so that even people who aren’t familiar with crypto wallets or digital ledgers will get used to it without any worries.
At the conference, Wind said that the mobile app is very easy to use and has stated that it delivers a user experience similar to traditional online banking i.e simple.
The app comes with an easy-to-use setup guide that enables users to take advantage of the app without any issues. On top of this, it will feature an account directory with look-up and social features to facilitate the non-technical transaction for its users.
The app will also be able to approve of deny payments to different individuals and firms.
Win has made it clear that XRP will be the app’s native asset. Other servies will be added later like a prepaid ILP Wallet.
QUOTED “So, what it will allow you to do is check your balance and send your funds in any currency, because the XRP Ledger can handle any given currency issued on the ledger… We’re not building a crypto wallet. We’re building a banking app. Except, without a bank. We’re building a banking app based on a digital ledger, based on the XRP Ledger and based on ILP (Interledger Protocol).”
