Chinese payment provider LianLian International is joining RippleNet, the payment network that uses Ripple's blockchain technology to facilitate cross-border transactions.
Announced on Feb. 7, the news will see the Hong Kong-based LianLian International adopting Ripple's xCurrent solution in an effort to bring same-day, cross-border transactions onto a blockchain for its existing customers. The product differs from Ripple's xRapidhttps://ripple.com/solutions/source-liquidity/ solution, which, unlike xCurrent, uses the company's custom cryptocurrency XRP.
