DC Wallet has teamed up with AFC India Limited to promote the use of India’s digital rupee, targeting more than 200 million people, especially those without bank access or with limited banking services.

This initiative comes after the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) successful testing of the digital rupee on Ripple’s XRP ledger, which showed it is secure and can be scaled for wider use.

The digital rupee started over two years ago but has struggled to gain popularity. This partnership aims to target important areas like agriculture, education, and travel.

The main goal of the partnership is to offer wallet solutions that make domestic and cross-border payments cheaper and easier. AFC India will connect DC Wallet’s services with public and private banks, making financial access easier for underserved communities.

The RBI’s recent tests on Ripple’s blockchain showed that the technology can handle secure, large-scale transactions. However, the challenge is getting everyday users to start using the currency.

This partnership between the public and private sectors seeks to close the gap by providing useful applications and easy financial tools. It aligns with global trends, as countries like Brazil are working with crypto companies to introduce digital currencies.

The Indian government is encouraging the digital rupee as a safer option compared to cryptocurrencies, highlighting the importance of following regulations. DC Wallet and AFC India’s partnership is an important move for financial inclusion. It could change how people handle money, especially in rural areas, and help build trust and comfort with digital currencies.
