It states TencentCloud confirms interest in Ripple’s currency, XRP.” Does anyone have any verified information about it?

ADingoAteMyXRP Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 This "news" was discredited around the time it came out. It was over a year ago. It's resurfacing because people want clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like this from Tencent's own web site blog: https://tencentcloud.io/2018/05/07/how-china-is-running-forward-with-blockchain/ "Tencent embraces Ripple currency The most effective thing a company of Tencent’s size and scale can do for the development of digital currency is to infuse some capital into various platforms. Tencent recently threw its support behind the Ripple payment protocol, pledging $2 billion to the project in March 2018. Over the course of the next year, Tencent will convert that $2 billion into Ripple cryptocurrency to be used across different applications within the Tencent ecosystem. Ripple is an especially attractive digital payment protocol for banks and other financial institutions due to the fact that transactions are fast, relatively inexpensive to process and highly secure thanks to blockchain technology. By both providing monetary support to the currency and incorporating it into popular platforms like WeChat and QQ, Tencent has given Ripple the best chance possible to catch on with users in China. Blockchain technology requires a great deal of computing power to operate, and Tencent Cloud can provide all the resources needed to maintain ideal performance and uptime levels. BaaS solutions like TrustSQL will continue to grow in demand, and Tencent Cloud solutions help organizations develop their own tools and integrate them into popular applications.

quan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I don’t think it is fake. China adopting US based fintech firm is natural progression of the result of the trade war. It is in the agreement. Edited February 18, 2019 by quan jorgerios 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The support link doesn't lead anywhere and their github page links elsewhere: https://github.com/TencentCloud The source code for the .com site look pro. The .io is a bootstrap wordpress theme.

lysistrada Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) This page on the tencent.com site references tencentcloud.io https://intl.cloud.tencent.com/document/product/301/17345 1. INTRODUCTION When you use the Tencent Cloud website and cloud services (including https://tencentcloud.io andhttps://intl.cloud.tencent.com) (“Services”), you are agreeing to our rules and policies regarding your personal information and you expressly consent to us collecting, processing, using and storing your personal information, as described in this privacy policy. Therefore, since we know tencent.com is the legit site, and we know that the legit site references the .io site in question, we know that either the site is legit and endorsed by tencent OR there is an outside chance that bad actors have gained access to both. I suspect the latter is unlikely. I am not inclined to draw any deeper conclusions other than that the .io site is most likely endorsed by tencent.
