The BIS task force is made up of representatives from central banks, financial institutions, and technology companies. The goal of the task force is to develop recommendations for improving cross-border payments. The task force is expected to release its final report in 2024.
Ripple's participation in the BIS task force is a positive development for the company and for the cross-border payments industry as a whole. Ripple's expertise in blockchain technology and its experience in cross-border payments will be invaluable to the task force. Ripple's participation is also a sign that the financial industry is taking blockchain seriously.
Here are some of the benefits that Ripple can bring to the BIS task force:
- Ripple has a proven track record of success in cross-border payments.
- Ripple's XRP token is a fast, cheap, and secure way to send payments around the world.
- Ripple has a large and growing network of partners in the financial industry.

The BIS task force is a major opportunity for Ripple to shape the future of cross-border payments.

This will benefit businesses and consumers around the world.
In a recent update on the lawsuit between the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs, the SEC is looking for an interlocutory appeal. This means that the SEC is asking a higher court to review a decision made by the lower court in the case. The SEC believes that the lower court's decision was wrong and that an appeal is necessary.
The SEC's decision to appeal is a setback for Ripple, but it is not the end of the case. The appellate court will have to decide whether to hear the case and, if so, whether to uphold the lower court's decision. The outcome of the appeal could have a major impact on the future of Ripple and the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.
