Ripple Backs Flutterwave with $3.2B Valuation

Ripple has made a significant investment in Flutterwave, a leading African fintech company, at a valuation of $3.2 billion. As part of the deal, Ripple will integrate its RLUSD stablecoin into Flutterwave's platform, expanding its reach to 34 African markets. This move marks a strategic partnership between the two companies, with Ripple choosing to use RLUSD over XRP for the integration. The implications of this deal could be significant for the XRP Ledger and its trading pairs, including XRP/RLUSD, which has seen a 5.67% decline in value over the past 24 hours.
