Ripple is ramping up its recent smackdown on the worldwide payment system status quo.

In a new tweet, the company points out just how cumbersome traditional payments can be, with vague estimations on when cross-border transactions will actually arrive. This follows the company’s advertisement from last week, which highlights Ripple’s argument that it’s sometimes faster to physically send money by getting on a plane than it is to send it through a bank. Meanwhile, the crypto-backed lending company Cred says it’s now offering USD loans, collateralized by XRP.High-profile investor Michael Arrington, the founder of crypto investment company Arrington XRP Capital, says he’s a user and fan of Cred. He calls the addition of XRP an important step in the evolution of the digital asset.“Cred is successfully building the next generation of lending and earning products and their recognition of XRP as an asset class is important.”
