Ripple has been repeatedly criticized for propping up its balance sheet with sales of XRP, which claims to be ‘decentralized.’ It added that it had paused ‘programmatic sales’ focusing solely on its over-the-counter (OTC) sales to provide increased XRP liquidity to RippleNet clients.
The report added that RippleNet had 11 times year-on-year growth in ODL transaction volume from mid-2019 to the middle of 2020.The fintech firm stated;
“More than ever, financial institutions are seeing the value of RippleNet’s ODL service to provide instant, global payments and meet market demand, especially during times of crisis due to the exposed risk and increased volatility.”
However, the daily volume for XRP decreased in Q2 this year from Q1 2019, with the average daily volume at $196.28 million in Q2 versus $322.66 million in Q1 the previous year.From April to June, three billion XRP was released out of escrow, and 2.6 billion XRP was returned to new escrow contracts.XRP Price Update
