Ripple’s ODL Services Observes All-Time Low On Multiple Corridors

Despite being Ripple’s shimmering quotient, the platform’s on-demand liquidity [ODL] on multiple corridors witnessed a significant slump. This further paved the way for numerous all-time lows. 

Trouble In Paradise

Real-time gross settlement platform, Ripple has been known for its services that allow users to send money across the world utilizing the blockchain technology. The platform is popular for its partnership with numerous leading banks of several countries. Ripple’s on-demand liquidity [ODL] services claim to have lessened the cost as well as delivery time for payments. Most of Ripple’s ODL corridors use XRP. The ODL platform is undoubtedly Ripple’s shimmering quotient.

While the crypto community was alarmed by a drop in the liquidity index previously in March during the peak of the pandemic, it was quick enough to recover from the slump. The liquidity index even went on to record an all-time high of 37,356,271, earlier this month. However, little did they know that ODL across almost every corridor would hit an all-time low.

However, Bitstamp XRP/EUR was comparatively better than the figures of the other three as the liquidity index stood at 6,899338.

XRP Price Movement
