On the XRP/EUR hourly chart (from TradingView):
Considering the very low trading volumes we've seen in the past couple of weeks, this is quite significant.
We have this statement on Ripple's website today:
"Cambridge joins five major financial institutions who have publicly announced that they are piloting xRapid, including Cuallix, MoneyGram, IDT Corporation, Mercury FX and Western Union."
Update:
There is also news that a Japanese bank has successfully used a "Ripple solution" in overseas remittance. Although it is is not clear if it's xRapid, xCurrent or something else.
