Ripple confirms MoneyGram-related rumors

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirms the speculations that MoneyGram will be directly responsible for an increase of XRP volume in Mexico.

During a new interview on the FintechBeat podcast, Garlinghouse said that MoneyGram and more Ripple clients would contribute to a 50% boost ion XRP transactions by sending dollars into Mexico via XRP which will be used as a bridge.

“It’s a public ledger. You can see where volumes are growing, contracting, and we’ve talked publicly about it – partly because of MoneyGram as well as some other customers who are using what we call On-Demand Liquidity. The product is moving [capital] so that you don’t have to pre-fund,” he said.

The volume of transactions using XRP surged

He continued and explained that the volume of transactions between XRP and the Mexican peso surged by more than 50%.

“That’s because there’s real utility, and that’s a growing amount of traffic, and we’re continuing to grow that amount of traffic. So you can see the percentage of XRP to MXN – Mexican peso transactions. As that grows, it’s a pretty safe bet that a larger and larger percentage of that is actually utility and no speculation,” Garlinghouse explained.

More than that, Galringhouse said that the use of cryptos such as Bitcoin and others remain purely speculative and he is positive that there will be a long time until cryptos will be directly used by consumers.
