this Friday, Ripple had a boost of almost 80% that made it rank second in the most important cryptocurrencies. One of the reasons could be the announcement they made about the next launch of XRapid, a protocol that will allow international transactions to accelerate from the current 2-3 days to only a few minutes. Other reasons that could also influence was the incorporation of National Commercial Bank, from Saudi Arabia to RippleNet; a new version of its network client, the XRP Ledger 1.1.0 and the arrival of new investors from Asia, through new markets, could also have an impact on the takeoff of the cryptocurrency.
