by

If you were looking for enterprise-grade excitement, Ripple delivered just that on July 3rd. In an announcement that no doubt triggered a thousand fintech PowerPoint slides, Ripple joined hands with Tenity—a global fintech incubator best known for its mysterious Swiss efficiency and, one must assume, robust coffee habits.
