Ripple president Monica Long commented on the latest report from the company's key partner in Mexico, Bitso, published earlier on Livecoins. In particular, Long noted the company's success in capturing a large share of the remittance market between the U.S. and Mexico through its "Crypto for Business" service.
As a reminder, Bitso and Ripple have been working together on cryptocurrency transfers for several years. In that time, the Mexican company has become a key partner for Ripple in the region and one of the largest users of its services. Against this backdrop, XRP has become almost 60% of Bitso's trading volume, overtaking Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) combined.

According to the Mexican crypto company's release, thanks to Ripple and other partners, they were able to transfer $3.3 billion between the two countries in 2022. This is a real-world utility, says Long, when the corridor between the U.S. and Mexico sees tens of billions of dollars in payments every year.
Aaron Sears, managing director of the Americas at Ripple, also noted Bitso's successful report. He said that Ripple enjoyed Bitso's success and that the two companies intend to continue their partnership in cross-border crypto transfers and connect more businesses in Latin America to the network.
