The Managing Director of Ripple in South Asia has confirmed the plan to introduce native crypto XRP into the Indian market for transaction purposes.

Ripple plans to revolutionize the remittance market.

The Ripple Managing Director said the archaic and costly means of transferring money abroad gulps not less than 7% of the original money value for each transfer to India. Ripple plans to revolutionize the market, he added. Due to lack of clear crypto regulations in India, the RippleNet solution available in the country does not use XRP. However, Ripple is eager to bring in its ODL (On-Demand Liquidity) solution, which relies on XRP for transactions, into the region, Gupta said, averring that this would offer an easier, faster, cheaper and better remittance service.
