Ripple was originally conceived in 2004. After further development of the concept, a corporation named OpenCoin was founded during 2012. The Company developed the Ripple Protocol (RTXP) and the Ripple payment & exchange network in open source code. The company name changed to Ripple Labs Inc. during 2013 and was subsequently rebranded and shortened to Ripple in 2015. Ripple is a privately funded company with notable investors such as Google Ventures, Seagate Technology, Accenture, Bitcoin Opportunity Corp & Standard Chartered. Today, Ripple boasts more than 100 major institutional clients -and growing- notably major brands such as JPMorgan and Bank of America. Currently, Ripple is considered a centralized open network, its not such a bad thing to move large amounts of money between banks. It might have a great future if the large financial institutions and banks adapt to XRP. Money Graham has recently announced that it will utilize XRP as a major token on their network. - Aimstone
