Ripple says the move into crypto kiosk technology is key to the expansion of the ecosystem, according to a press release.

“This is the kind of infrastructure we at Xpring want to support as it aligns with our mission to advance the proliferation and adoption of cryptocurrencies, such as XRP, to solve real-world problems.

This is Xpring’s first investment in the cryptocurrency kiosk industry. The funds will be used to obtain additional licenses to operate nationwide and expand to key international markets.”

Ripple has invested more than half a billion dollars in companies building on blockchain technology through Xpring.

Xpring is also allocating funds to create tools that will help developers build on the XRP ledger.
