Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) product is one of the most ambitious attempts to modernize cross-border payments at the institutional level. Using XRP as a bridge currency, Ripple ODL enables near-instant settlement between financial institutions across corridors like USD/MXN and USD/PHP. But Ripple is built for banks and licensed financial institutions not for the SMB or mid-market business that needs to pay a supplier in 15 minutes. Truman delivers the same instant settlement with USDC, zero XRP exposure, and an onboarding process measured in minutes rather than months.
Ripple ODL: Powerful for Banks, Inaccessible for Businesses
Ripple's enterprise sales cycle is measured in quarters, not days. Onboarding requires partnership agreements, regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions, and deep technical integrations. For a business that needs to send $50,000 to a supplier today, Ripple ODL is not a viable option. The XRP bridge also introduces volatility risk during the nanoseconds of the swap a risk that USDC, being a fully reserved dollar stablecoin, eliminates by design.
"Ripple ODL is transforming interbank settlement. Truman is transforming B2B payments for every business that isn't a bank accessible, instant, and regulated USDC."

Is Truman a Ripple alternative for B2B payments?
Yes. Truman offers the same instant cross-border settlement as Ripple ODL but without the enterprise sales cycle, XRP exposure, or institutional requirements. Any business can onboard to Truman in under 5 minutes and send international payments instantly via USDC.

Ripple ODL targets banks and licensed financial institutions with months-long integration processes. Truman is accessible to any B2B business in minutes, uses regulated USDC (not XRP), covers 185 countries, and charges 0.6% per transfer.
Is USDC or XRP better for B2B international payments?
USDC is better for B2B international payments. USDC is fully reserved, audited monthly by Deloitte, and pegged 1:1 to the US dollar with no volatility risk. XRP carries price volatility during settlement and regulatory uncertainty in multiple jurisdictions.
