The Future Digital Awards recognize organizations that have made a significant contribution to their industry and have the potential to make a significant impact in the future.
The selection process includes an initial review by a panel of Juniper Research analysts who evaluate entries based on criteria such as product innovation, features and benefits, strategic partnerships, certification and compliance, and future business prospects. Shortlisted candidates go through a scoring process and the winners are approved by an expert judging panel.
Ripple Payments has been hailed as the first solution to solve “multi-trillion-dollar challenges” in cross-border payments through the large-scale operate of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies.
According to Juniper Research, Ripple is “a leading provider of digital asset infrastructure for financial institutions – delivering simple, compliant and reliable software that increases efficiency, reduces friction and enhances innovation in global finance. As it has evolved, Ripple Payments has evolved from a cross-border payments network to a platform providing tokenized services that will provide enterprises with cryptographic capabilities – paving the way for a future where digital assets are at the center.”
