Ripple Deepens Mastercard Relationship Ahead of XRP Ledger Hackathon.
Mastercard has joined an XRP Ledger Foundation hackathon taking place ahead of Ripple’s upcoming Swell conference, adding another major traditional-finance participant to the XRP Ledger developer ecosystem. The collaboration brings Mastercard into an event focused on building applications and infrastructure on the XRP Ledger.
The participation comes as Mastercard $MA.US continues expanding its involvement with blockchain-based payments and digital assets. Its presence at the XRP Ledger event adds institutional visibility to developers building financial applications on the network, while Ripple continues developing infrastructure connecting traditional finance with blockchain technology.
The development is notable because Mastercard is one of the world’s largest payment networks and has previously worked with Ripple. Its involvement in the $XRP Ledger hackathon creates a direct connection between a major global payments company and developers building on the network.
