Solving Cross-Border Hassles

In a recent interview with Der Aktionar, Michel presented a compelling scenario, illustrating the challenges associated with traditional cross-border transactions, especially from Germany to the United States. 

He explained the complications involved in converting euros to dollars through multiple banks, which takes a lot of time and money. However, to solve this, Michel highlighted that Ripple strategically developed a business concept around XRP to address these inefficiencies.

In one particular scenario, Michel described how the sender’s bank could convert euros into XRP at a low cost. Later the recipient’s bank would then quickly turn the XRP into dollars, making the whole process faster and cheaper.

XRP Ledger and On-Demand Liquidity

Michel shared his perspective on the future role of XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), especially in light of the rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Emphasizing the need for central banks to adopt digital currencies promptly, he pointed out Ripple’s bridge technology as a key enabler for connecting central banks, giving Ripple a unique advantage in the market.
