In a new interview on the Recode Decode podcast, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse talks about why he believes banks and financial institutions will have to move toward new technologies like blockchain.

“We want to change the system by working with the system. These are profound technologies that can really benefit society in lots of ways. We can reduce the friction of global commerce. We can allow people globally more access to the economies around the world to compete. I think that’s actually a really good thing.”

Litecoin

The Litecoin Foundation’s unique efforts to raise money to support the coin’s ecosystem continues.

The Foundation is now selling limited edition sets of sterling silver LTC-themed cufflinks and tie clips with a certificate signed by Litecoin creator Charlie Lee.

Stellar

The Stellar-based micropayments startup SatoshiPay has released its crypto wallet Solar for both iOS and Android.

“The mobile apps have been in development since the desktop app launch earlier this year, while simultaneously shipping several new features for the desktop app. ‘Release early, release often’ they say, so we started testing the apps internally early on, before starting a closed alpha-testing and then a public beta-testing program.

Right now we are completing the last basics of the app, but we will soon start to develop features for integrating the wallet and external services in new ways that will allow us to provide new unique user value.
