[mars75]

Browsed around and didn't see this shared. Was supposed to be implemented months ago but the COVID pandemic delayed it's launch.

Here's an article that discusses the recent development.

It will be interesting to see how/if Ripple could leverage ODL/XRP/Liquidity Hub for the Mojaloop platform as a built-in option for cross-border payments?

Has anyone else realized that Ripple is mainly telling others about their mediocre partnerships/research (e.g: Palau) and they've never really publicly talked about their big partnerships (a majority of them)?

It has to be psyops to demoralize XRP holders, I've personally been thinking about this theory for quite a while, never told anyone else until now since it'll sound crazy to others.

I would think the big partnerships/PoCs are under NDAs.  It's only the smaller, open projects that get the spotlight.

I agree here. I don't think it has anything to do with some "conspiracy" to keep information from XRP holder/community like many seem to suggest. Sometimes people in the XRP community try way too hard to create narratives that aren't there just so they can validate their way of thinking. Ripple's first priority is to its customers not the XRP community. In fact, I think Ripple is very forthcoming with new developments regarding the company, partnerships, etc. Wtbs, it is and has always been information that they want to release to the public.

I’m less inclined to look for the Machiavellian explanations, and consider the more mundane … 

There’s three that come to mind: 

1. NDAs and educating the competition 
2. Tempering the market’s volatility and speculation 
3. Discouraging the hoarding of XRP - it’s counterproductive for liquidity

Or…

4. There’s really nothing much bigger in place and Tanzania and Palau is the biggest they have
