<p>Ripple’s recent collaboration with Tranglo has set tongues wagging, igniting a passionate discussion about the role of XRP in cross-border transactions. The controversy gained momentum when Bill Morgan, a staunch advocate for XRP, stepped in to defend Tranglo’s use of the digital asset within Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-delving-into-the-debate-morgan-s-defense"><strong>Delving into the Debate: Morgan’s Defense</strong>&nbsp;</h2> 
<p>The saga began with a nod to a 2018 Financial Times report, suggesting a lack of XRP adoption by banks. However, Morgan swiftly countered this narrative, asserting that Tranglo indeed harnesses XRP’s power within Ripple’s ODL platform to facilitate cross-border payments.</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Firstly I did not say 5000 banks use XRP. I said Tranglo uses XRP in ODL for cross border payments for its customers and its network involves 5000 banks. How many banks are involved in ODL was not stated by Tranglo.<br>Secondly, you did not prove that no banks in that network are… <a href="https://t.co/xWXjD1hwB0">https://t.co/xWXjD1hwB0</a></p>— bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) <a href="https://twitter.com/Belisarius2020/status/1768026784304607268?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 13, 2024</a>

<p>Pointing to Tranglo’s vast network of 5,000 banks, Morgan painted a picture of XRP’s seamless integration into their operational framework.</p> 
<p><strong>Ripple’s ODL Without XRP?</strong></p> 
<p>Despite Morgan’s claims, skeptics emerged, questioning the accuracy of Tranglo’s purported use of XRP. Critics pointed out that Ripple’s ODL system doesn’t invariably rely on XRP for transactions, casting doubt on the necessity of the digital asset in Tranglo’s operations.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-seeking-clarity">Seeking Clarity</h2> 
<p>The discussion took a turn when a user mentioned a 2022 SEC filing by Tranglo’s parent company that didn’t mention XRP. This made people wonder how much XRP was used by Tranglo.&nbsp;</p>

   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">I posted information from Tranglo. I never made any conclusion either way about any bank connected to Tranglo using ODL or XRP. It was a tactic to motivate you to show your best evidence that no bank uses XRP. If what you showed is your best evidence it is quite weak.

<p>But Morgan didn’t think this was enough proof, saying we need clearer evidence to show if XRP is missing from Tranglo’s transactions.</p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tranglo-s-strategic-european-expansion">Tranglo’s Strategic European Expansion</h2> 
<p>Amidst the heated debate, Tranglo expanded its footprint in Europe through a strategic collaboration with Inpay. The <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-tanglo-and-sbi-remit-join-forces-to-improve-xrp-cross-border-payments/">partnership aims to bolster</a> Tranglo’s European presence by leveraging the Instant Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), facilitating seamless cross-border transactions.</p> 
<p>With an <a href="https://tranglo.com/press/tranglo-launches-instant-sepa-payout-to-europe/">initial focus</a> on 12 SEPA countries, Tranglo anticipates broader expansion across 24 additional European regions. This ambitious endeavor underscores Inpay’s global expansion strategy for 2024, with a particular emphasis on penetrating the Asian market.</p> 
<p>The ongoing debate highlights the complexities surrounding XRP’s adoption and Ripple’s partnership dynamics, fueling speculation within the cryptocurrency community.</p>
