• Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) uses XRP, the digital asset native to the XRP Ledger, as a bridge between the two fiat currencies, to enable instant and low-cost settlement, without the need for pre-funded capital in the destination market.
• Ripple’s ODL services are being used by companies around the world, including SBI Remit, Tranglo, and Pyypl.
