They release ethylene gas, which is a gas that ripens most fruit. If it is left in a closed environment such as a refrigerator, it causes the ethylene gas concentration to rise and cause accelerated ripening or browning
Bananas will metabolize faster when in warmer temperatures. It's said that light energy heats up the surroundings somewhat. To ripen bananas faster than normal, you should put them under a light to get them warmer.
it depends if your counter is hot or cold or what the room temperture is!!!!!!!!!!!
two bananas, a counter, a fridge, and some time.
Apples will ripen faster on the counter than in the fridge.

The banana in the refrigerator browned faster than the banana on the counter. The cold temperature makes a banana's skin brown faster. The banana in the refrigerator is still firm though, where as the banana on the counter is softer.
The temperature on the counter top is high compared to that inside a fridge. A high temperature usually makes ice to melt faster than a low one.
I did an experiment on this and the banana in the refrigerator was like black after 6 days and the one on the counter was slightly affected so definitely the fridge. =========================== It rots faster on the counter because room temperature supports bacteria better in order to break down the banana faster(rotting)
You can put it in the fridge, or you can leave it on the counter to cool. If you want the fudge to set faster then the Fridge is your best bet.
The skin blackens from the cold but if you like your bananas mushy and not as sweet, it is fine. Or freeze the bananas until you can use them in a smoothy or banana bread.
