The company behind XRP is seeking a director of central bank alliances. Central banks are hiring blockchain and cryptocurrency companies.
Ripple, the company behind XRP cryptocurrency, posted a job advertisement seeking a specialist in central bank digital currencies (CBDC). The post appeared on the recruitment portal Greenhouse.io, which specifically shows the offer of a Director of Alliances with Central Banks, in charge of promoting initiatives that impulse banks to issue their national digital currencies.
«The mission of RippleX (development team) is to inspire and enable the community of developers and institutions affiliated to XRP, to be able to collectively build the Internet of Value (IoV), which allows us to transfer value as fast as the information it moves today”.
For such a strong position the required skills, among other remarkable responsibilities are the development of business strategies, marketing, and adaptation to legislation. There must be good relationships with central banks, regulators, technological allies, and other institutions. Also, having sharped skills to manage projects from start to finish and manage the necessary resources.
Besides, more effective communication is essential to educate clients about blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and CBDC. This educational work involves being a regular speaker at conferences, offering statements to the press, publishing on the web and social media.
Ripple Anticipates The Attraction of Banks to Digital Currencies
Even if many companies specializing in cryptocurrencies ever want to develop banking-oriented projects, central banks are turning their eyes to this industry intending to issue their digital currencies.
Ripple is aware of this new trend. Last September, Ripple emphasized interoperability as an ideal requirement for central banks around the world. The publication mentions RippleNet as a response to this need. It also seemed to show how the coronavirus pandemic impacted the world economy.
The obsolescence of central banks and other financial services appears to cause people to grow more interested in cryptocurrencies but at the same time, they consider that the participation of traditional institutions will also inspire confidence in many other users.
Last August, the CEO of Ripple assured that this company “is the Amazon of banks”, about the growth potential that could arise in the coming years for the company.
At that time, it was a fact that the launch of the XRP Pay platform, which is aimed at individual users, works in parallel with the services that Ripple is already providing to banks.
Even if it has been questioned whether Ripple has truly been successful in providing its services to banks, perhaps the intentions to issue CBDCs and national currencies present a new whole set of opportunities for this company and the ecosystem in general.
