Adoption, Adoption, Adoption! Okay so this news isn’t going to move the price of XRP but this is adoption at a large scale. WooCommerce is a WordPress open source eCommerce platform. At the moment, about 3.3 million online stores use the platform. Just think if 1% of people start accepting XRP payments on their WordPress stores that could potentially add 33,000 additional XRP wallets.
The new plugin has been tested and installed by Wietse Wind:

With the exposure of XRP to more online stores, the digital currency is just a few steps away from mass adoption. When this happens, XRP will be adopted and used by many. Hence, its value will significantly increase.
