The new step taken by the Bank of England shows the increasing interest of central banks in blockchain technology. The paper is titled “Ripple: Exploring the Synchronized Settlement of Payments using the Interledger Protocol.” The BOE believes that Ripple protocol could significantly impact the cross-border payments industry by allowing synchronized settlement across multiple ledgers.
