The blockchain network of Ripple currently serves over 90 markets around the world. Its platform handles almost 90 percent of daily forex transactions. Ripple recorded more than $70 billion in volume last year. Through this extensive coverage, Ripple remains a market leader in cross-border payments. Its affiliation with OpenPayd also enhances its status.
