Ripple’s Xumm banking app that will be soon available for mass adoption is more than an ordinary digital asset wallet as it offers a wide array of functionalities both to retailers and developers.
A recent hearing in the U.S. Congress included the discussion of fiat currencies, payment methods and cryptocurrencies. In this context, XRP and the efforts made by Ripple in the sphere of payments were directly mentioned.
According to Wietse Wind, the lead developer of XRPL Labs, Ripple is considering launching not only a free version of the banking app but also a paid one that will be called ‘Xumm Pro’.
XRPL Labs, a startup backed by Ripple, wants to make the process of accepting XRP easier for merchants as a mainstream option. The company has designed a payments app that will act as the transition that they need as a point-of-sale system.
All users have to do is to download the plugin on GitHub and follow the instructions that came with it to begin accepting XRP.
To push forward XRP mainstream adoption, Ripple-backed XRPL Labs wants to add XRP payment plugin to the WooCommerce platform.
XRPL Labs, the creation of Wietse Wind, the avid XRP developer, will gain an undisclosed amount of investments from Ripple to develop applications for the XRP ledger.
