XRP Added as Payment Option Via Surfy In South Korea

XRP has been added as a payment option on Surfy, a prospective crypto payment solution in South Korea. Surfy now allows users to buy and sell real-world assets using the XRP Ledger native token. The integration of XRP on Surfy enhances the utility of the XRP Ledger ecosystem. During a closed beta test in Seoul’s Gangnam District, users were able to make payments using XRP at Cafe Valer. The success of this test demonstrated the ease and speed of making payments with XRP. Surfy stands out by offering peer-to-peer payment options without relying on traditional networks. Jongheon Sung, Surfy’s founder and CEO, cited the XRP Ledger’s scalability as the reason for building the payment solution on it. With a throughput of 3,400 transactions per second and settlement times of 3-5 seconds, the XRPL provides an excellent platform for low-cost and swift payments. Additionally, Ripple’s introduction of a new token standard and the upcoming launch of the RLUSD stablecoin are expected to further enhance the XRPL network’s scalability and utility, potentially increasing institutional adoption.
