Ripple on track to start new ODL corridors

As reported by U.Today, Ripple’s top executive Asheesh Birla published an article on Ripple's ODL product and the role it is playing in the modern crisis-affected world.

He wrote in the article that in the current times of economic recession triggered by the pandemic and the continuous QE by the Fed Reserve, high speed and low fees on transnational payments are very important.

The self-isolation that has continued in many parts of the world makes these qualities crucial as family members working abroad need to send money back home.

With this in mind, Birla shared the news that later this year Ripple intends on setting up more ODL corridors this year.
