Includes $750 thousand investment in BRD to bring XRP to leading cryptocurrency wallet
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BRD, the most secure cryptocurrency mobile wallet, trusted by users in over 170 countries, announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Xpring, Ripple's developer initiative to build the internet of value. BRD also received an investment of $750 thousand from Xpring to help drive further adoption of XRP Ledger offerings worldwide.
BRD will also build on Xpring, the company's newly launched open platform for developers, to support and integrate XRP into the BRD wallet. The partnership and investment will enable BRD users to hold, buy, sell, and send XRP to anyone in the world.
"We're incredibly excited about joining forces with Ripple to bring XRP to our user base. Ripple understands the need for a strong wallet partner as they push into key markets like cross border banking and remittance, so we are thrilled to help them achieve their goals. In addition, it is our plan to have BRD be the cheapest and easiest place to buy XRP moving forward," said Adam Traidman, CEO and Co-founder of BRD.
Consumers are able to use BRD to purchase and store cryptocurrencies simply and easily; negating the need for often unnecessarily complex exchanges altogether.

"At Xpring, we support mission-driven companies that have the potential to transform money. The BRD team has helped consumers onramp $6B worth of traditional currencies into digital currency, making them an ideal partner to continue the proliferation and adoption of cryptocurrencies like XRP to solve real-world problems."
