Ripple and Infinite Block Executives React
Infinite Block’s CEO, Jung Gu-tae, emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing XRPL’s reliability by protecting users and adhering to both local and international regulations. Ripple’s Vice President of Strategy and Operations expressed support for the growing presence of high-quality Asian validators within the XRP Ledger ecosystem.
The addition of Infinite Block comes shortly after SBI VC Trade, the crypto exchange arm of Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings, also became a validator on the XRPL network. With this recent inclusion, XRPL now has more than 125 validators responsible for confirming transaction validity.
Currently, around 35 of these validators are part of the default Unique Node List (dUNL), which includes entities like Ripple, Bitrue, XRP Labs, Bitso, onXRP, and Bithomp. According to XRPL.org, the network boasts a total of 615 nodes.
