In support of Ripple, I-Remit, a partner of Ripple, notes that when using the XRP token, it has never seen it as a security, but rather as a tool for fast, cost-efficient, cross-border transfers. The company also accused the SEC of misinterpreting blockchain and cryptocurrencies to influence its authority in the industry. It further claimed that SEC has no understanding of modern technology.
Another company that has come to the rescue of Ripple is the private jet charter company TapJets. The charter includes the XRP payment option. In its interaction with the token, the charter notes that the token has been “vital” to its business, as it can be used for payments outside of the bank’s working hours. This has ensured that its customers can book flights and complete transactions at any time and every day. It further revealed that it has invested heavily in the technology and if the token were considered a security, the company would suffer huge losses.
