Ripple ODL payments explained
Ripples On-Demand Liquidity ODL is a service that is used to facilitate cross border payments among countries with the use of the XRP cryptocurrency. With the use of the crypto, the transactions are flawless, efficient, and fast with the cost transaction fee reduced compared to the normal payments system. Speaking on the latest development, Ripple was quoted as saying in their website that “International payments, especially in emerging markets, require businesses to hold pre-funded accounts in destination currencies. It’s a costly endeavor that ties up resources. RippleNet provides an alternative. While any financial institution on the network enjoys reliable, instant, and lower-cost transactions, those who use the digital asset XRP to source liquidity can do so in seconds—freeing up capital and guaranteeing the most competitive rates available today.”
