Ripple has successfully expanded its liquidity network to over 80 markets globally. By building innovative liquidity pathways, the fintech company aims to make cross-border payments faster, more affordable, and seamless.
As the crypto market grows rapidly, it still remains smaller than the global foreign exchange (FX) market, presenting unique challenges that require advanced solutions.
Ripple addresses these by trying to facilitate fast, on-demand settlements at minimal costs while ensuring a superior cross-border payment experience for customers and partners.
To achieve this, Ripple leverages blockchain technology to ensure liquidity is always available, even outside traditional banking hours.
This technology allows global payment transactions to settle almost instantly at significantly lower costs by eliminating intermediaries.
Unlike traditional methods, crypto transactions on blockchain ledgers are not restricted by banking hours or holidays, enabling money transfers anytime, anywhere.
This milestone of expanding the liquidity network to 80+ countries is a remarkable feat by Ripple and positions the company’s products as one of the best blockchain-based solutions for crypto and traditional markets alike.
