They signed many contracts with various financial institutions. I'm waiting for Ripple about 5 dollars this year, if not more.
Really? $5 ? This number is difficult to reach, the price now is around $0.6 and you want 10x from this price ? the market cap will be far away from ETH, i think the possible price is around $2-$3.
5$ it's not hard for Ripple. In january of this year marketcap was 130 bil (with 3.8$ for XRP) vs 110 of ETH.
I agree with FsJsxy, I'm waiting for 5$ too.
P.S. Today 2 more companies joined RippleNet(InstaReM from Singapore and BeeTech from Brazil).
