Ripple Payments: Evolution of On-Demand Liquidity (ODL)
Recently, Ripple rebranded its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) solution to Ripple Payments. This strategic move aims to enhance user-friendliness while retaining the core functionalities that have made Ripple a go-to choice for financial institutions.
This rebranding aligns with Ripple’s vision to streamline cross-border crypto payments, exemplified by its latest partnership with Onafriq to facilitate transactions between Africa and markets like Australia, the UK, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
In one year, Ripple emerged as an innovative force, reshaping global cross-border payments with unparalleled effectiveness and visionary solutions.
