Moneygram’s US-Mexico business seems to be enabled by crypto by 10 percent. The act of transferring money from one place to another or better known as remittance is one of the heavyweights of a market but the blockchain technology aims to change how these operations are conducted. Let’s see further in the blockchain news today.The world Bank estimates that in 2016 the global remittance market reached $573 billion and a whopping $422 billion went to developing countries. Blockchain technology is already well-suited for securely transferring money around the world and the same technology powers Bitcoin and holds great implications for the world’s remittance business.Ripple is among the first crypto platforms that have been lurking at this industry for a while now through a fintech lens and its On-Demand Liquidity platform. XRP has been a part of how the mainstream remittance company Moneygram operates since August of this year. Speaking at the Ripple Swell conference, Moneygram’s CEO Alex Holmes announced to the public that Moneygram’s US-Mexico Business happens with the help of Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity up to 10 percent.The blockchain-positive announcement on Ripple’s website calls for much more attention to the statistics. The existing prospects of crypto technology can account for about 10 percent of how major remittance companies do business between the two countries. Holmes explained further into detail on how the business is actually conducted:

 “The 10% relates to the ODL (On-Demand Liquidity) platform and represents the percent of our Mexican peso volume that we trade. We take USD and buy Mexican pesos. We continue to work with Ripple to build liquidity. We now have four new corridors we are starting, including the Philippine peso and Australian dollar. True success will be determined by others joining the platform, so it’s early days.”

Holmes did not want to reveal the size of Moneygram’s US-Mexico business but he seemed pretty happy to talk about the potential of the technology and how it will bring ease in the international transactions process to the new countries. Ripple’s technology, on the other hand, is also known to be among the best remittance services in the crypto industry with great partnerships around the globe.

The worst performing major coin of the day is officially Ripple’s XRP while Tezos (XTZ) became the best-performing asset among the top 100 by market capitalization yesterday. Let’s read more in the Ripple XRP news today.Though the week was extremely busy for Ripple, the recent news doesn’t seem to have a positive influence on the price of the 3^rd cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Looking at the 10 coins only, Ripple is one of the three coins that dropped in the past week and the drop is the largest by far. Bitcoin dropped by 0.67 percent and Bitcoin SV by 0.03 percent. The worst performing major coin seems to be XRP which saw a 4.41% drop and it also took another plunge in the past 24 hours with a 6.33 percent drop.Among the coins that dropped in the top 100 categories, XRP is now at the 12^th place over the seven-day time frame and in the fourth place in the past 24 hours. As a matter of fact, on November 7, the altcoin saw the highest price in the last 30 days of USD 0.31 and fell by more than 6 percent the same day. It also recovered slightly and continued to fall to the current price of $0.27. There were also a number of announcements lately and moves that Ripple made especially in October.It has seen an increase in client base by 50 percent this year only while 7 percent of those use XRP for cross-border liquidity. Recently the studies showed that while Ripple led the market since 2012, the competition between them, IBM and VISA is heating up when it comes to blockchain innovation and cross-border payments. Ripple’s Outspoken CEO Brad Garlingouse also promoted the blockchain multiple times and its services based on XRP. He also said that there are too many cryptos and that the market will be even more volatile but also that Bull Run is coming for the entire market.Before this, Ripple rebranded the website and released a sequel to their popular crypto ad as a part of the new brand awareness campaign and it even saw the Japanese financial giant SBI holdings praising XRP and the company found that when it comes to cross-border transactions, XRP is less volatile than fiat.

Ripple’s client base increased by up to 50 percent this year while the use of XRP for cross-border liquidity increased by 7 percent as we are reading in the Ripple XRP news below.The CEO of Ripple Brad Garlinghouse stated in an interview with a contributor from Forbes. In the latest announcement, Ripple said that they have surpassed 300 customers compared to the 200 which was only at the start of this year. Additionally, Ripple also claims that without providing numbers, that the company saw tenfold year-over-year growth in transactions on their payment network Ripple Net.:California-based blockchain startup focusing on payment technologies, Ripple, has seen its client base grow 50% this year, while some 7% use XRP for cross-border liquidity.

“This year has been our strongest for Ripple yet.’’

The company also said that now the customers have started using RippleNet in more than 45 countries compared to 40 countries in January 2019. Since the startup announced the On-demand Liquidity product in 2018, XRP is used there to remove the necessity for pre-funding in cross-border payments and they made multiple partnerships with two dozen customers that are using the ODL right now such as MoneyGram, Viamericas, FlashFX, goLance and Interbank Peru. This resulted in a sevenfold increase for transactions that started using the on-demand Liquidity from the end of the Q1 until the end of October.Ripple’s client base increased mainly because of the different options the platform has to offer. ODL initially offered payment corridors in Mexico and the Philippines and then expanded to Australia. However, Ripple announced that the upcoming payment corridor will expand to Brazil while 2020 it also plans additional corridors across the Asia-pacific countries and Europe and the Middle East.In the last quarterly market report for the third quarter, Ripple said that ‘’Ripple customers live with ODL, including MoneyGram and others, increased by 75% last quarter and dollar volume on ODL increased more than five times from Q2 to Q3.”Garlinghouse said that they have more than 20 customers using XRP for cross-border liquidity and he added that Ripple has more than two dozen customers with millions of dollars of flows per week. He said that also there are a number of projects that are built on the XRP ledger and even more companies will start using XPR with time.
