Ripple, the cryptocurrency services and payments firm, has introduced a dedicated fund aimed at supporting projects based in Brazil that utilize the XRP Ledger blockchain.

Ripple Launches Fund to Incubate XRP Ledger Projects in Brazil

Increased interest in the growth potential of Latin American countries is evident among cryptocurrency firms. Ripple, a leading cryptocurrency solutions provider, has recently established a fund specifically geared towards supporting projects in Brazil that utilize the XRP Ledger (XRPL) blockchain to enhance their operations.

Julia Heitner, manager of the XRPL grants program, noted that Brazil was chosen as the pilot location for this initiative due to several factors conducive to blockchain ventures. These include the country's robust developer ecosystem, advanced digital payments infrastructure, and progressive public policies regarding the tokenization of capital markets.

While the exact amount allocated to this pilot fund was not disclosed, typical grants awarded through the XRPL program range from $10,000 to $200,000. Projects applying for XRPL grants may receive awards ranging from $100,000 and upwards, with larger sums typically reserved for developers with prior experience in similar projects.

As part of this initiative, two Brazilian teams have been selected to receive support: Goassets, which is developing a platform leveraging the XRP Ledger for asset tokenization, and Cointimes, which is creating a service to facilitate blockchain-based micropayments in exchange for completing various tasks such as ad views, product testing, and specific purchases.

This is not the first time the XRPL grants program has backed initiatives in Brazil, having previously provided funding to four projects, including Amora, Cryptum, Thingsgo.online, and XRPL Elixir. These projects utilize the XRP Ledger for various purposes, ranging from integrating blockchain with other projects to incentivizing sustainable actions wRipple, the cryptocurrency services and payments firm, has introduced a dedicated fund aimed at supporting projects based in Brazil that utilize the XRP Ledger blockchain.
