XRP efficiency debate rekindled, with some arguing speed matters more than locked liquidity
A debate has resurfaced in the XRP community over whether XRP can deliver high efficiency in cross-border payments without tying up large liquidity. A community figure, Eri, argued XRP’s edge lies in fast turnover that allows the same tokens to be reused quickly, citing Mexico-based exchange Bitso. Critics counter that speed alone cannot support global payment infrastructure without deep liquidity pools, warning of bottlenecks and slippage during surges in institutional demand.
