Predicting the Future of Ripple Labs’ xRapid: Role and Adoption in Global Finance takes a clear, forward-looking look at how Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) is changing the way money moves around the world. Jonathan T. Morgan unpacks how xRapid now known as ODL bridges traditional finance and blockchain innovation through real-time, borderless liquidity.

With sharp analysis and grounded examples, Morgan shows how xRapid uses XRP to remove the need for prefunded accounts, creating instant payment corridors that move value like information. From remittance networks in developing nations to institutional settlements at scale, he traces how Ripple’s system cuts costs, accelerates transfers, and extends financial access to underserved markets.

The book also delves into the global landscape shaping ODL’s rise: evolving regulation, institutional adoption, and the broader march toward interoperability. Morgan connects Ripple’s “Internet of Value” vision to the larger wave of digital asset integration from CBDCs to DeFi while outlining how regulatory clarity could unlock XRP’s role as a universal bridge asset.

Blending technical detail with accessible insight, Predicting the Future of Ripple Labs’ xRapid offers a full picture of blockchain-driven liquidity and its path forward. The future of cross-border finance isn’t waiting it’s already in motion.
