Ripple has been working non-stop in terms of spreading its reach, with the firm recently marking a milestone by crossing more than 200 partnerships across 40 different countries. According to Crowd Fund Insider, Ripple has struck another partnership with Tsinghua University, in order to launch a scholarship program.
The Institute for Fintech Research, Tsinghua University [THUIFR] plans to launch a Blockchain Technology Research Scholarship Program [BRSP] for graduate students in China, and Ripple will be supporting the university’s cause with this partnership. THUIFR is a well-recognized and a leading research institute in China and based on its research resources and achievements it will be focusing on international regulatory policies and the development of bitcoin technologies.
Ivy Gao, Director of International Cooperation and Development, THUIFR, said
“Most importantly, I believe, this program will greatly help with their future research or career in the field of bitcoin technology.”
Eric van Miltenburg, Ripple’s SVP of Global Operations, said:
“The program’s goal – to provide students with opportunities in bitcoin research – closely aligns with that of Ripple’s University Blockchain Research Initiative. We’re thrilled to support THUIFR in this endeavor and look forward to its launch.”
Ripple is well-known for its far-reaching partnerships financial industry related companies and even research-based companies and universities. The company plans to support and improve the academic research and development of bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Moreover, Ripple recently announced that it had a few banks going live with their bitcoin solution xRapid, which continues to create a lot of buzz in the community. A few days after this announcement, more than five financial institutions announced their plans to go live with xRapid.
With its partnership with the Chinese University, Ripple is slowly moving into countries with strict rules and regulations when it comes cryptocurrencies, and this is considered as a breakthrough by some in the community.
@coupleofcrypto commented:
“Awesome. Go @Ripple. Most criticized in the crypto space, and yet by far the most active to get bitcoin technology adopted worldwide… This is part of Ripple partnering with universities around the world to push bitcoin development. It’s awesome, Ripple is really helping the entire crypto space, but you take it one step too far Just my opinion.”
