Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) uses XRP as a bridge asset to settle cross-border payments in seconds, eliminating the need for banks to pre-fund foreign currency accounts. This innovation frees up trillions of dollars in trapped capital and reduces payment times from days to seconds, particularly benefiting remittance corridors and markets with less developed banking infrastructure. However, Ripple's own stablecoin is increasingly being used for settlement, competing with XRP's role and complicating the demand thesis for the token. While ODL is a real and efficient solution, its adoption is corridor-specific and limited by liquidity, regulatory acceptance, and the brief exposure to XRP's volatility during transactions.
