Ripple payments are now available on the Uphold platform for institutional investors.
Uphold, a prominent digital currency platform, has taken a significant step forward for the XRP community by introducing Ripple payments for institutional investors. This aims to improve accessibility and efficiency within the digital payments ecosystem by opening up new opportunities to leverage Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) services.
Ripple payment integration pending
Uphold integrates Ripple payments into its platform, giving institutional investors access to a wider range of digital assets and services. The move is poised to revolutionize cross-border transactions, with Ripple’s ODL service promising faster and more efficient payment processes.
In a recent Twitter post, Yassir Mobarak, founder of Dizer Capital, highlighted the importance of Uphold and Ripple’s partnership, emphasizing the platform’s potential as a key player in facilitating seamless cross-border payments.

Even Ripple’s head of payments products, Pegah Soltani, expressed optimism about the partnership, highlighting Uphold’s deep liquidity expertise and Ripple’s commitment to improving payments infrastructure.
Doubts about XRP price
However, Uphold’s integration of Ripple payments comes at a time of increasing uncertainty surrounding Ripple and its native token, XRP. Meanwhile, in a recent Twitter post, Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino issued a warning statement highlighting the difficulties Ripple faces amid the ongoing legal battle.
“You might not get rich with $XRP, you might get poor depending on how things change,” he says.
Gasparino’s caution is a reminder that Ripple’s legal battle needs clarity. This is especially important for XRP investors as they navigate an environment filled with uncertainty.
As Ripple engages in a protracted dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), investors are seeing regulatory uncertainty cast a shadow over XRP’s market performance. Despite sporadic victories, such as U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres’ favorable ruling, XRP’s journey is still fraught with legal complexities and regulatory hurdles.
Looking into the future
Meanwhile, Uphold’s initiative represents a significant milestone in XRP adoption and highlights the platform’s efforts to improve accessibility and efficiency in the digital payments ecosystem.
