Ripple announced that it has partnered with payment services provider Chipper Cash.


The partnership will explore cross-border payment expansion in Africa using Ripple Payments.


XRP is down 2% after seeing a rejection at the 50-day Simple Moving Average.


XRP failed to recover on Thursday, noting a 2% decline despite Ripple's latest partnership with mobile payment services provider Chipper Cash. The collaboration aims to support cross-border payments for Chipper Cash using Ripple Payments.


Ripple partners with Chipper Cash for faster payment services


Digital asset infrastructure provider Ripple announced in a press release that it has partnered with payment services platform Chipper Cash. The company stated that it would support cross-border payments into Africa using Ripple Payments.


Ripple claims the move will make international money transfers into the continent faster, cheaper and available 24/7. Ripple Payments offers a digital asset-based payment solution designed to reduce transaction costs and processing times using the XRP cryptocurrency.


"By integrating our technology into Chipper Cash's platform, we're enabling faster, more affordable cross-border payments while driving economic growth and innovation across the markets they serve," said Reece Merrick, Ripple's Managing Director, Middle East and Africa, in the press release.


Chipper Cash claims that the partnership will help users begin to send and receive payments faster and at lower costs.


The announcement follows Ripple's agreement to drop its cross-appeal against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the agency dropped its appeal against the company.


With the SEC's regulatory headwinds now behind the company, Ripple is seeking expansion into more international markets. Earlier in the month, the company announced it secured a regulatory license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) that will enable it to offer crypto payment services to businesses in Dubai.


XRP sees rejection near 50-day SMA, risks decline to $1.96


XRP saw $10.39 million in futures liquidations in the past 24 hours, per Coinglass data. The total amount of liquidated long and short positions accounted for $9.09 million and $1.30 million, respectively.


XRP is testing the support at $2.34 after seeing a rejection near the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and declining 2%. A decline below this support level could send the remittance-based token toward $1.96 if it fails to bounce off the upper boundary of a descending channel. However, if bulls defend $2.34, XRP could retest the $2.60 resistance.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator (Stoch) are in a downtrend below their neutral levels, indicating dominant bearish momentum.

A daily candlestick close below $1.96 will invalidate the thesis and could send XRP to the support level at $1.35.
