ODL corridor unannounced by Ripple?
As per several recent tweets posted by XRPL Monitor, 73 mln XRP have been transferred by Bitbank and Bithumb—major crypto exchanges in Japan and South Korea.
Earlier this year, the Bitfinex exchange published a post on its blog, saying that the Ripple giant had connected these two major cryptocurrency markets with an On-Demand Liquidity corridor.
