Ripple & Unicâmbio: Boosting Brazil-Portugal Payments
Ripple and Unicâmbio Partner to Transform Cross-Border Payments
Ripple is collaborating with Unicâmbio, a Portuguese currency exchange provider, to streamline and accelerate international payments between Portugal and Brazil. Unicâmbio will leverage RippleNet, Ripple's blockchain-based payment network, to enhance its payment processing capabilities.

Cross-border payments represent a significant opportunity within the crypto industry. Major economies are increasingly exploring the use of blockchain technology to improve efficiency and reduce costs in this area. This partnership marks a significant step in Ripple's expansion within the European market and further solidifies its commitment to improving cross-border payment solutions.
By integrating RippleNet, Unicâmbio will gain access to faster, more cost-effective, and real-time payment processing, benefiting both businesses and consumers.
“Our partnership with Unicâmbio is a major milestone in Ripple’s European expansion. We are facilitating faster and more efficient cross-border payments, bolstering the economic ties between these two key markets,” says Cassie Craddock, Ripple’s Managing Director, UK & Europe.
Ripple's Experience and Market Position: Ripple has a long-standing focus on cross-border payments, having previously facilitated similar initiatives between Japan and Brazil. This experience, coupled with its existing presence in Brazil, provides a strong foundation for this new partnership.
Regulatory Landscape: Both Brazil and Portugal are actively exploring the potential of blockchain technology for financial services. Brazil's Central Bank has collaborated with Chainlink and Microsoft on cross-border payment solutions, while Portugal's Central Bank advocates for a global crypto framework. This regulatory environment suggests a supportive backdrop for Ripple's expansion.
Impact on XRP: While recent XRP price corrections haven't been affected by this partnership immediately, the deal presents significant long-term revenue potential for Ripple as it expands the utility of its XRP Ledger. The success of this initiative could serve as a model for future collaborations in other regions globally.
