Ripple still in serious legal issuesWhile Ripple is still pushing for more dominance in Europe, the firm faces one of the worst challenges in its existence in the United States. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has come down hard on Ripple, claiming the XRP token is a security in late December.
Ripple, which says it’s a “proud U.S. company,” may make an earlier move to gain considerable market in Europe if its business in the U.S. goes sour.
Before the SEC’s lawsuit, Ripple said it is considering moving its U.S.-based global headquarter to another country with a more favorable environment to its business. Switzerland and the U.K. were two destinations that were repeatedly mentioned.

Despite the current turmoil surrounding Ripple, the company is still taking giant strides to expand its operations. Recently, the firm has signed a deal to provide a remittance corridor between Bangladesh and Malaysia with RippleNet.
According to the deal, Bangladesh’s bKash will offer direct connections to Malaysia’s Mobile Money wallet. The former is considered the largest mobile financial services provider with more than 45 million users. These connections will be made possible through the RippleNet platform.
RippleNet is the digital network powered by the Ripple Transaction Protocol (RTXP). The platform helps financial institutions facilitate payments and transactions with one another.
RippleNet utilizes the scalable distributed ledger technology to offer financial solutions to institutions. It is completely controlled by appointed validators that act as permissioned nodes. These validators accept transactions on the platform when they agree that the transaction in question is by the set rules.
The partnership will enable Malaysia to expand its user-base in Bangladesh by about 20%. Ripple said it wants to bring convenience and greater connectivity to the Bangladesh population, offering them a well-structured and streamlined cross-border payment system.
