From my investigation into this "niche" it seems people are dropping
Keyword + Ripple.com and opting to keep Ripple + Keyword.
Seems as though the ones Ripple care about based on Keyword pattern is any domain with the right second keyword with Ripple in front.
Like
RippleFrance.com
RippleEmirates.com
RippleSuisse.com
RippleSpain.com
It goes without saying the best ones are the ones that are the most generic like RippleWorld.com
But becareful.
Seems as though Ripple as been a sleeping giant finally waking up about protecting their brand. Trademarks below.

Pay attention to the dates of these trademarks guys. and Register and renew accordingly.
If you have Ripple or XRP domains registered prior to these days. Think about them hard and see which ones Ripple will really go for. Dump the rest. unless you aren't scared of a URDP.
