The recipient’s identity was unknown in the hours leading up to press time. However, the transfer is expected to be related to the blockchain company’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) solution. There is a possibility that Ripple made the transfer to a client of its ODL solution. It is worth mentioning that Ripple’s ODL uses XRP as a bridge currency for cross-border settlements.
