A few days ago, David Schwartz, the CTO of Ripple explained on Twitter how certain transactions can take place without utilizing XRP. A Twitter user reached out to Schwartz asking if Ripple’s ODL would function without buying or selling XRP. To which Schwartz replied,
“We chose to do fiat-to-fiat first for a few reasons, but the biggest one is that it can work with no XRP infrastructure at all, so could be deployed fastest. Then we could use XRP where it could provide the most impact with a ready supply of customers and payments to tap into.”
