Ripple’s ODL Corridors Take A Hit

Cryptocurrency platform, Ripple has been one of the most prominent players of the crypto industry. Ripple has undoubtedly elevated the adoption rate of cryptocurrencies following the several partnerships that the platform has engaged in over the past few years. The platform seems to have taken global expansion to the next level as Ripple has ventured into numerous countries by collaborating with popular banks.

Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity [ODL] service definitely makes the list as it is considered the shimmering quotient of the platform. More recently, the platform published a blog post endorsing RippleNet’s ODL services and its importance during the time of a pandemic. Turns out, Ripple’s ODL services is not a big hit in Australia.

Over the past few weeks, almost every ODL corridor was seen recording low liquidity. The latest figures further revealed that the liquidity index for BTC markets XRP/AUD had plummeted down to a low of 15,977.
