San Francisco fintech whiz, Ripple, famed for its XRP cryptocurrency and blockchain-based interbank chit-chat service, just scored big in Singapore.

They nabbed a Major Payment Institution (in-principal) Licence from the local money honchos, the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

This golden ticket lets them roll out digital payment services and fling XRP across borders like confetti at a parade.

It's a rare sunshine moment in crypto-land, given the gathering storm of regulations back home in the U.S.

Hats off to Ripple, creating waves in a pond of ripples!
