The initiative will cover both traditional finance and digital assets, as Ripple looks to build mainstream awareness of XRP and blockchain technology. Florida athletics director Scott Stricklin said the partnership brings together two organisations focused on innovation, while Ripple described XRP as a fast and low-cost way to move money globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more:<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>RBA Opens Settlement System to Tokenised Finance, Rules Out Retail CBDC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFlorida has a long history of embracing innovation and technology to enhance the experience of our fans and advance our programs,\u201d said Stricklin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"blockquote-block_9c6a78c5e4625b7aa8caec4dde22b290\" class=\"blockquote-container variant-personal\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-text\">\n<p>Ripple has established itself as an innovative leader in financial technology, and we\u2019re excited to welcome XRP to Gator Nation.
