28/11/2022 Ripple sets new record with 108,900 XRP used in XRPL NFT sales

  • The XRPL Punks NFT collection makes record sales hitting a new milestone for the XRP Ledger.
  • The XRP Ledger is pushing for more NFT adoption through The $250 million Ripple Creator’s Fund.

Recently, the XRP Ledger achieved a new milestone in terms of the total number of NFT sales on the platform. As per data provided by XRPL-based modular ecosystem – onXRP – one of the NFT collections “XRPL Punks” sold items for 108,900 XRP, which is equivalent and worth $44,000.

The official Twitter account of on XRP noted that the sale was a result of an open auction by Xpunk #8811. The platform didn’t reveal the name of the buyer but stated that this person is well-known within the XRPL Punks community.

The XRPL Punks collections also dubbed Xpunks was created as a homage to the already legendary non-fungible CryptoPunks collectibles. It is also one of the hottest NFT collections on the XRP Ledger.

After the application of the much-awaited XLS-20 amendment to the XRP Ledger this fall, Xpunks have traded a total of 1.78 million XRPs so far.

Another most-popular collection on the XRP ledger is a reference to the legendary NFT collection, the Bored Ape Yacht Club. Dubbed as the Bored Ape XRP Club, it ranks second after Xpunks, with a turnover of 866,533 XRP.

Ripple’s Push for Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

Ripple is playing in the NFT space and has launched a $250 million Creator’s Fund to bring big NFT projects to the XRP Ledger. Earlier this month, Ripple partneredwith Ethereal Labs to bolster the Web3 ecosystem by bringing NFTs and crypto assets to the masses via the XRP Ledger, custom partnerships, and collaborations.

The goal behind this partnership is to boost Ripple’s NFT strategy and thus bring NFTs to a larger audience.

While Ripple continues to lock horns with the U.S. SEC over the securities battle for XRP, the company has continued to work on other aspects of its ecosystem. However, this ongoing legal battle with the SEC could be playing a spoilsport for Ripple as of now.

As we know, Ripple has been pitching its XRP solutions to banks for instant cross-border settlements worldwide. Banking giant JPMorgan which is actively working on blockchain solutions, however, chose MATIC and AAVE to settle USD to JPY forex transactions.

Upon this development, crypto influencer Lark Davisquestionedthe value proposition for XRP. CryptoLaw founder John Deaton responded to it stating that the fact the XRP continues to be in the top ten digital assets despite all odds speaks about its success. He also lashed out at Davis for undermining XRP just because JPMorgan chose other digital assets.

In another win, Australia’s biggest financial conglomerate CommBank, said that they would be usingRipple’s XRP Standardfor cross-border payments.

trump 2020
This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.
Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
