Ripple, the blockchain company behind the XRP token, recently won an award at the PAY360 Awards in the UK. The company was recognized for its “best use of digital currencies and assets in financial services.” The event, which is considered one of the most prestigious payment awards in the country, saw senior executives from over 950 companies in attendance. The award comes with several advantages, including access to a broad marketing campaign that could reach 250,000 payment professionals.
This is not the first time Ripple has been recognized for its achievements. The company previously won two awards at Juniper Research’s Future Digital Awards for Fintech and Payments 2023. It was given the Sustainability in Fintech Innovation of the Year award as well as the “CBDC Innovation” award. The former award was given for its Palau Stablecoin, which is issued on the carbon-neutral XRP Ledger. In May, Ripple also won two awards at the Digital Currency Conference 2023 awards.
The recent award from the PAY360 Awards comes at an important time for Ripple, as the company secured a vital win in court. The US district judge Analisa Torres rejected the interlocutory appeal by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the ruling that recognized the secondary sales of XRP as non-securities. The court determined that the Commission failed to provide sufficient basis for the court to review its previous decision. It was also ruled that the Commission must appeal any decisions after other matters in the lawsuit are ruled. This decision confirms that Bitcoin and XRP have been legally cleared as non-security crypto assets.
Following this court win, the market sentiment around the XRP token has become bullish. Although the price of XRP has declined by 1.3 percent in the last seven days, it has recorded a 1.11 percent surge in the last 24 hours. The current price of XRP stands at $0.525248, with a safety score of 66/100.

With the support of industry-leading partners and a dedicated team, Ripple is well-positioned to shape the future of finance and pave the way for a more inclusive and accessible financial ecosystem.
