Last October, BitPay announced a partnership with Ripple's investment arm – Xpring. Then XRP was added to the list of digital currencies that BitPay works with.

However, it has now become known that starting fromnext week the company will launch selling gift cards (which can be used on Amazon) using the third largest cryptocurrency – XRP.

This is another step taken by Ripple towards mass adoption of the XRP coin. However, as we see, this news did not in any way affect the price of the asset, and it is still trading below $0.25.
