The investment helps both companies serve more customers and expand the payment corridors in Asia.

More Opportunities for XRP Payments

Cross-border payment is one of the biggest challenges that can be solved efficiently using cryptocurrencies. Projects like Ripple (with XRP coin) focus on this challenge and have shown lots of capabilities. Ripple aims to work with as many traditional financial institutions to expand the reach of its tokens and products. RippleNet is one of the most critical focus areas for them. The service makes payments easier by providing a decentralized infrastructure for companies. The latest investment in Tranglo is another step toward expanding RippleNet reach.

Ripple will provide its ODL service to Tranglo. The Asian company will support more payment corridors and connect its customers to a broader network. Current RippleNet customers will benefit from this connection, too. They can scale their cross-border payments to more Asian markets.
