Ripple launches B2B Crypto Liquidity API Solution
On 13 April, Ripple made an official announcement regarding the launch of its Liquidity Hub. According to the release, the newly launched service will operate independently and complement Ripple’s widely-used cross-border payments solution, On-Demand Liquidity (ODL).
The Liquidity Hub aims to provide its partners with access to payout rails on a global scale and has been designed with an enterprise perspective in mind. This means the platform will offer a range of digital assets from various market makers, including crypto exchanges and over-the-counter trading desks.
The initial version of the Liquidity Hub will support a range of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum [ETH], Bitcoin Cash [BCH], Ethereum Classic [ETC], and Litecoin [LTC], as well as fiat currency, the U.S. Dollar (USD).
The XRP question
Following Ripple’s announcement on Twitter, it was evident that XRP enthusiasts were excited about the launch of the Liquidity Hub. However, the official statement did not mention the role that XRP would play in the new service, nor was XRP mentioned at all.
Some commenters pointed out this omission and raised concerns about it. One possible explanation for this could be the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC.
