Strategic Partnership between Ripple and MoneyGram Ends Abruptly
It’s worthy of note that this is happening after the strategic partnership between Ripple, the US-based cross-border payment firm that oversees the distribution of XRP, and the money transfer giant MoneyGram came to an end abruptly.
Ripple and MoneyGram sealed the partnership sometime in June 2019. Through the deal, Ripple became MoneyGram’s key partner for cross-border payment and foreign exchange settlement using digital assets such as XRP. But MoneyGram suspended the partnership indefinitely in late-February, citing the ongoing securities lawsuit between the payment firm and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The report reads in part as follows:
“In addition, the Company is not planning for any benefit from Ripple market development fees in the first quarter. Due to the uncertainty concerning their ongoing litigation with the SEC, the Company has suspended trading on Ripple’s platform. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company realized a net expense benefit of $12.1 million from Ripple market development fees.”
