Ripple, the crypto solutions company which offers cross-border payment services is also known for its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) merchandise. Whereas numerous fintechs have partnered with Ripple to use its ODL services, the ongoing XRP lawsuit has hindered more enterprises from joining forces with the San Francisco-based crypto firm.
Among the financial companies halting their adoption of Ripple’s ODL product because of the Ripple-SEC case is the Bank of America. Nonetheless, Ripple’s ODL products continue to grow significantly despite the enduring court battle involving XRP.
Bank of America is a top American multinational investment bank and financial services provider headquartered in North Carolina. According to Linqto Director of Member Sales, Nick Burrafato, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said at the Ripple Swell 2022 summit that Bank of America is waiting for the XRP lawsuit to end before it starts leveraging Ripple’s ODL services.

Garlinghouse added that the banking firm stands to gain big if a settlement happens between the SEC and Ripple. He believes that adopting the On-Demand Liquidity products would give Bank of America a huge competitive advantage over its competitors.
Nick Burrafato narrated:
“[Brad Garlinghouse] made it clear that they’re ready to settle with the SEC as long as they can get clarity on XRP. I asked him if American companies were waiting on the sidelines to jump in the game once clarity happens – he said ‘Absolutely.’
“He specifically said Bank of America. Bank of America is a huge partner of Ripple. And he said Bank of America stands to gain really big when the settlement happens because [Bank of America is] going to have a huge competitive advantage over their competitors by using ODL on the marketplace. So Brad is very, very bullish.”
It bears mentioning that the Bank of America is currently a member of the RippleNet committee. The top bank aligned with Ripple way back in 2020.

These are fintechs that we’re partnering with. They’ve come through all of our rigor of legal and compliance, and we’re able to leverage our banking as a platform to deliver that to you.”
