Just read on a very reliable blog that the technology firm Ripple has pledged to lock up $14 billion of XRP Cryptocurrency. This move is designed to combat fears that Ripple might flood it's booming market.
The firm has promised to lock-up 88% of those funds ($14bn worth), in a series of smart contracts that briefly make 1bn XRP available each month for a period of at least four-and-a-half years. So that means the short supply and more demand (specially by banks) in the next few years will drive it's price quite high.
The following graph will show Ripple's stellar growth in the recent months:
So before it goes up too high, please get on the speed wagon called Ripple and enjoy the benefits in couple of years to come.
