I suspect Reise Bank to test Xrapid (live transaction in 8 seconds). They seem to be very happy with their results. But the point where it becomes interesting is that Reise Bank is a subsidiary of DZ Bank. And who's starting to talk about Ripple? DZ Bank. It is possible that DZ let their subsidiary take the risk of testing Ripple net and Xrapid, they waited for the results. And if these are conclusive then they can implement Ripple net without any risk and without wasting time with tests / pilots

" DZ Bank AG is the second largest bank in Germany by asset size and the central institution for more than 1,000 co-operative banksand their 12,000 branch offices. Within the Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken Co-operative financial network, which is one of Germany's largest private sector financial service organisations, DZ Bank functions both as a central institution and as a corporate and investment bank.

11/10/2018 : DEEP BREATH - We are all aware of the fall of world stock markets. But how can a crash accelerate the adoption of Ripple net? @T8Bacon3 https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/27976-how-will-a-global-market-crashrecession-affect-ripplenet-adoption/ - Let's go back to the basics with this research on the integration of Ripple by Swift @XRPfan1013 https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/27960-swift-and-ripple-integratioon/ - Earthport will provide BNP Paribas with crossborder payments services. And We know that Earthport is involve in Ripple net @HankScorpion https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/25618-all-the-bears-and-other-stuff/?do=findComment&comment=579637 - IMF be like : Cross border payments are too expensive. We need Fintech to lower the costs. And a wild Ripple net appears @Guest1 https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/25618-all-the-bears-and-other-stuff/?do=findComment&comment=579506 - In an article from february 2018, JP Morgan quoted many times Ripple and stated that Swift GPI was created to compete Ripple

If the article has already been published on xrpchat let me know and I will delete it. And I will need a source. I publish this article because we can discover in old publications some interesting elements. Here JP Morgan is optimistic about using Ripple to compete with Swift (Who in fact creates the GPI to counter Ripple) Exemple : If I find that a major partnership has taken place, use Ripple net and that article dated last January I will not publish it because the article is old? The date can be irrevelant.

" We look at a growing list of new Blockchain based systems including Ripple, which aims to facilitate cross border payments between Global banks in seconds compared to days for traditional systems, at lower cost " " In the medium to long term, business models are likely to need to evolve around the cost benefits of technology, including distributed ledgers in order to keep up with competition from existing banks and fintech pioneers. " " Ripple’s initiatives have led to more innovation in existing payment systems as well, as SWIFT released a new platform (Global Payments Innovation) that reduces transaction times and aims to explore distributed ledger technology for faster crossborder payments. " " At present, we note that the speed, cost and liquidity characteristics of Ripple have made it the most appealing digital asset for financial institutions for application at scale. Ripple has already received acceptance within the financial community and has also partnered with the Bank of England in the FinTech Accelerator program to demonstrate real-time settlements using the Ripple Interledger Protocol. " " Whereas we believe Ripple’s creation has the potential to create competitive disruption for an existing service (Cross border payments between banks via SWIFT), there are other Blockchain-based technologies that can be applied more widely across the financial services sector.

https://globalcoinreport.com/singapore-authorities-ripple-blockchain-powered-invoice-platform/ " Blockchain technology continues to witness a significant increase in adoption, even from traditional industries. Take the fruity relationships of Ripple (XRP) with giant financial institutions such as Banco Santander " " One of the products that are keen not to be left behind in the front of innovation is the Digital Ledger Technology, which has been experiencing large growths in adoption levels " " Some of the giant companies that are embracing digital ledger technology into their operations include IBM, Amazon, Abra, Microsoft, Earthport, Blockstream, Asta Salotions, Bacoor, Coinbase, Blockstream, Bloq, Digital Asset Holding, BTL Group, Chain, SAP, BitSE, R3, and Ripple among many other companies. " " In Singapore, DBS Bank, Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), and Standard Chartered Bank developed a proof of concept for their blockchain-based invoice trading platform. The platform uses distributed ledger technology of Ripple (XRP) to support the project for tracking invoices, reducing invoice duplication risks, backing loans to suppliers while maintaining the confidentiality of their customers." " Subsequently, the authority intends to develop a platform that will allow banks and financial institutions to convert invoices into virtual assets on a distributed ledger (of course on Ripple blockchain" Thanks to @BANKXRP
