Ripple Extends Blockchain Research Funding Through 2027 with NYU Abu Dhabi
Ripple has renewed its partnership with New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) to continue funding blockchain research and education through 2027 via its University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI). The collaboration supports projects aimed at improving market efficiency and economic access in the UAE. This extension of funding aligns with Ripple's broader expansion in the region.
The grant has surpassed $1 million in funding since 2024 and continues to foster academic and industry collaboration in the Middle East. One notable project, Volta, uses blockchain technology to aid smallholder farmers in Ghana.
