The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) recently granted Ripple Markets Asia Pacific In-Principle approval to grow the On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) solution in Singapore. This permission allows XRP to be used in ODL transactions, enabling faster and more efficient cross-border payments.
Bill Morgan, an Australian-based lawyer, questioned if the new license would allow for the use of XRP in ODL transactions. According to pro-XRP lawyer John E. Deaton, the usage of XRP in ODL transactions is legal under the new license.

The In-Principle license places Ripple in a select group of fewer than 20 companies that have earned such a license from the government. While this is major news, it did not cause the price of XRP to rise as expected.
Despite the fact that all XRP holders are in a joint venture with Ripple and rely on the company’s performance to make money, the coin’s price has not reacted to the news. Instead, it has continued to follow Bitcoin’s and the macroenvironmental developments.
While XRP rose slightly to 0.52 from 0.50 in the early hours of the release, most crypto assets gained somewhat as well. The ongoing SEC litigation against Ripple adds to the uncertainties surrounding XRP’s prospects.
Despite the absence of price movement, MAS certification is a key milestone for Ripple because it allows ODL transactions in Singapore to leverage XRP. With this approval, the ODL solution will be able to facilitate faster and more cost-effective cross-border settlements.

Deaton emphasized the significance of Ripple’s freshly gained In-Principle certification from MAS in a tweet, adding that just about 20 businesses in Singapore have such a license.
However, he went on to say that XRP has continued to follow Bitcoin’s and the macro environment’s developments. While Deaton’s tweet did not contain any new information, it did highlight the viewpoint of a pro-XRP lawyer on Ripple’s In-Principle clearance and the present state of XRP’s price movement.
