Gupta shed light on Pyypl, a Ripple partner that started implementing on-demand liquidity in the MENA region. Major banks like Saudi British Bank and Qatar National Bank are the partners in the region. All of these businesses are using Ripple's crypto technologies to facilitate cross-border transactions, driving XRP adoption higher.
