According to the official press release, Banco de la República will work with Columbia&#8217;s information and communications ministry, MinTIC, to pilot use cases that will improve the country&#8217;s payment system with the help of the Ripple CBDC Platform, built on XRP Ledger (XRPL).
MinTIC is tasked with leading the pilot, the development of which represents the third phase of blockchain experimentation. The goal is to educate national and territorial public entities via interactive and collaborative real-world application experiments demonstrating blockchain technology&#8217;s capabilities across payment systems and data management.

The development comes weeks after Ripple <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ripple-unveils-blockchain-powered-cbdc-platform/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">unveiled</a> its XRPL-powered CBDC platform, which aims to assist central banks, governments, and financial institutions in issuing their own central bank digital currency.
As reported earlier, the new platform was being developed to address several use cases, spanning from wholesale and retail CBDCs on a private ledger to stablecoin issuance.
Initially, Ripple tapped the Republic of Palau to develop the country’s national digital currency on it. The blockchain firm has also worked with the monetary regulators of Hong Kong, Montenegro, and Bhutan.
