In accordance with this news, Xpring, the investment arm of Ripple, showed their newly developed “Software development kit (SDK)” on the very same day.
The function of the kit is to incorporate payments via cryptocurrency into various applications. Due to this conglomerated functioning in the market, Bitpay will be a part of the Software Development Kit platform by Xpring, resulting in the effortlessness of devs for accepting cryptocurrency as payment.
Further choices for crypto-payments
Ethereum was added to the list of acceptable cryptocurrencies as a payment option on 16th September 2019 when Stephen Pair, the CEO of Bitpay, said that it would prove to be the next logical option.
Bitpay was found the year 2011. Before Ethereum was made a payment choice, BitPay only used Bitcoin (BTC) and its scandalous fork in the crypto-market, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) for transactions and trading.
This might be one of the few turning points for Bitcoin and altcoins in the market.
