Ripple’s CBDC Platform at the Forefront
From a robust list of contenders, Ripple emerged as the National Bank of Georgia’s choice to steer the digital Lari pilot. This decision was not made lightly.

This partnership underlines a shared vision for the future of digital finance, where CBDCs play a central role.
Advancing the Digital Currency Dialogue
The DEA’s endorsement comes as a recognition of Ripple‘s adeptness in navigating the complexities of digital currency infrastructure. This accolade further propels the dialogue on the transformative potential of CBDCs in modern financial ecosystems. As countries like Palau, Bhutan, Montenegro, and Colombia explore digital currencies, Ripple’s involvement is not just a technical assistance but a strategic alliance, fostering advancements in this domain.
In conclusion, Ripple’s selection as a technology partner by the National Bank of Georgia highlights the company’s stature in the digital currency landscape—a standing that is echoed by the DEA’s commendation and Ripple‘s expanding portfolio of global CBDC projects.
