About Ripple
Ripple, created by Ripple Labs, is a peer-to-peer open payment network, through which currencies can be transfer into any of others, including USD, EUR, CNY, JPY, or bitcoin, easily and rapidly. As a P2P network, anyone can create an account, and no individual, corporation, or government controls it. Currently LakeBTC customers can make USD deposits and withdrawals via Ripple network.
About Ripple Gateway
Ripple Gateways enable users to put money into and take money out of the Ripple network. They accept currency deposits from users and issue balances into Ripple’s distributed ledger. Furthermore, gateways redeem ledger balances against the deposits they hold when currency is withdrawn. In practice, gateways are similar to banks, yet they share one global ledger known as the Ripple network. The easiest way to get funds in and out of the Ripple network is through a Ripple Gateway service. Gateways issue IOUs backed by cash. You manage this account through the Gateway's website as you would any financial account.
