In a milestone development, India conducted its first-ever crude oil transaction using local currencies and bypassing the US Dollar. This is part of the larger goal between the two nations to promote trade in native currencies while cutting down on the dollar-conversion costs. 
The exciting thing about this trade is that it’s integrated with the XRP Ledger System CryptoTradingFund (CTF), allowing customers to earn cashback in the CTF tokens. 
The inclusion of this XRP Ledger system, CTF, gives customers a novel way to benefit from global trade. As a result, customers making either online or offline payments in XRP can earn CTF tokens as rewards. They can use these token rewards to purchase products or convert them into cash, thereby effectively receiving cashback. Moreover, users can continue to hold the CTF tokens in anticipation of future crypto growth. 
This transaction between India and UAE is much more than just an oil deal, as it sets the stage for a multi-currency world to thrive while opening up avenues for different currency usage. This could mean a more efficient system using blockchain tech while reducing the transfer costs associated with the USD. 
Their partnership is set to grow, with plans to create a real-time payment connection to simplify cross-border money transfers. Additionally, Indian RuPay cardholders will soon be able to use their cards in the UAE, and vice versa, due to an upcoming interlink between RuPay and UAESWITCH.
