Ripple, a leading real-time gross settlement system, currency exchange, and remittance network, has announced its $29 million donation in support of public schools in the United States.


Helping Educators Inspire the Next Generation

Ripple, home to the third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and founded by one of the wealthiest individuals in the world, has generously donated $29 million to support public schools in the United States.

Don't wait! Jump on this Crypto Deal and get a 150% Welcome Bonus plus 100 Free Spins on your deposit today!

“Every Rippler, from the executive team to our newest hires, started their careers in one place — the classroom,” wrote the company in an official blog post, yesterday. “It’s in this pivotal setting that children’s dreams are forged and legacies begin.”

The donation comes in the form of XRP, the cryprocurrency’s scalable digital asset which aims to enable real-time global payments from anywhere in the world, and was made to DonorsChoose.org — a US-based 501 nonprofit organization allowing individuals to donate directly to public school classroom projects. Claims Ripple:

570% up to 12 BTC + 300 Free Spins for new players & 1 BTC in bonuses every day, only at Wild.io. Play Now!

Our donation fulfilled every request listed on the nonprofit’s website yesterday. Today, nearly 30,000 public school teachers in every state and approximately one million students are receiving books, school supplies, technology, field trips, and other resources vital for learning through DonorsChoose.org.

The company also notes its selection of DonorsChoose.org as its donation platform of choice stems from the fact that the website’s “same principles of inclusion and accessibility to education” mirror Ripple’s focus on promoting “more inclusion and accessibility within the global economy.”

Mounting Questions Regarding Investment

In the cryptocurrency sphere, however, things aren’t looking so great for XRP.

Ripple co-founder Jeb McCaleb recently claimed that the fact the Ripple team is in charge of the majority of nodes should be concerning for people.

The value of XRP as a long-term investment has also been called into question by Weiss Ratings, which noted that the altcoin’s reliance on deal-making with major banks and financial institutions is far from ideal. It also claimed that, since Ripple is not a public company, owners of XRP are not entitled to the company’s potential profits.

Most troubling, however, is the virtual currency’s centralization. Noted Weiss Ratings editor Juan M. Villaverde:

Ripple is going after the business of traditional financial institutions that are deeply embedded in a world controlled by governments and supranational institutions […] How does this all relate to Ripple? Well, it would be a relatively trivial task for governments to shut XRP down.
