“On Sunday, Feb 17, 2019, Twitter enthusiasts rolled out a tweet with quite interesting information on XRP’s end. It states TencentCloud confirms interest in Ripple’s currency, XRP.”

 

Does anyone have any verified information about it?

"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.

Quite a lot of work to create a fake web site with this much info, pages, articles, etc.. I think it's legitimate.

I'm not convinced.  People have a lot to gain creating hype.

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.

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.
