Distributed ledger tech provider Ripple increased its XRP sales by 97 percent in the first quarter of 2021, according to its recently published quarterly report.
The San Francisco-based company sold a total of $150.34 million worth of XRP in Q1. It attributes the increase to "deeper engagement" with customers who use its XRP-powered On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) product for cross-border payments:
