Since we’re offering the incentives in XRP, we anticipate seeing an added benefit of building an easy on-ramp for institutions to use XRP in their payment flows to lower liquidity cost in the future,”Monica Long, SVP of marketing at Ripple. “Early reception of these XRP incentives in a test phase has been very positive.”
