The growth has been sharp as just last month, the numbers recorded were below $11 million.

Given the fact that Mexico and the Philippines are among the world’s top remittance markets accounting for $36 billion and $34 billion respectively, these markets has a lot of potential for XRP.

Another record was made in terms of trading volume on the Mexico-based cryptocurrency exchange Bitso.

Bisto is one of the few exchanges that accept fiat from financial exchanges and executed transactions via xRapid.

In Q2 Markets Report, Ripple reported a whopping 170 percent rise in xRapid volume over the previous quarter.

In other news, Ripple removed a slew of products, xRapid, xCurrent, and xVia, from its website.

Ripple has pivoted to a new approach as they now offer just a single solution, RippleNet, uniting the features of all of its other products into one.

“With a single connection, access the best blockchain technology for global payments, payout capabilities in 40+ currencies, On-Demand Liquidity as an alternative to pre-funding, and operational consistency through a common rulebook,”

the company defines the working of the network.

XRP, meanwhile, is currently trading at $0.251 with 24 hours loss of 1.09 percent, at the time of writing, as per Coincodex. In 2019, XRP’s price has lost 29% of its value.
