I am a faculty at Morgan State University. I would like to know the differences between Hyperledger Fabric and Ripple. I found a lot of info on Google, but they are not so clear. For example, one use case for the ripple is bank settlements. Can I have more detail about how it works for this use case? I appreciate your response.
