The Ripple community is ramping up its real world use of XRP in a major way.

After adding XRP to its crypto Visa card, Wirex says it’s witnessed a burst of sign ups and spending on the platform. Here’s a look at some of the activity, including the iconic crypto purchase of a cup of coffee.

There it is folks, as easy as that. Just like using your normal contactless bank card but using XRP. Great product @wirexapp #XRPCommunity #Xrp pic.twitter.com/7rM2xcBOEH
