Grantcoin is one of only a handful of cryptocurrencies that can be traded directly for mainstream fiat currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the euro. Grantcoin joins Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Stellar as the only cryptocurrencies with independent blockchains that are available on Ripple Trade.

The Grantcoin Foundation has contracted with One Million Gateways, a software development company focused on the Ripple ecosystem, to create an automated bridge for Grantcoin payments, deposits and withdrawals between Ripple wallets and the Grantcoin blockchain, similar to BTC2Ripple. This is expected to be ready in late June.
