Liquidity Hub: Our B2B Crypto Liquidity API Solution | Ripple

We are pleased to announce that the Ripple Liquidity Hub is officially open to the public. Last year we launched a successful pilot and now Liquidity Center is publicly available to provide businesses with a simple and seamless way to manage their modern crypto liquidity needs. Designed for usability and interoperability, it gives enterprise customers a competitive advantage in a multi-asset future.

A future defined by liquidity

We are rapidly moving towards a multi-asset reality where consumers and businesses will have to manage a vast portfolio of assets across fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and more.

Companies need to be able to get in and out of these various assets quickly and easily, regardless of the number of users on the platform, the volume of trading, and the efficiency of the market – all aspects that can affect liquidity. A key component to this is ensuring that businesses do not have to sacrifice value to execute transactions like affordable, real-time cross-border payments. Crypto assets and digital assets can also improve transparency and facilitate treasury functions.

All of these use cases depend on interoperability, which requires strong on-ramps and off-ramps between crypto and fiat and large pools of liquidity between pairs of assets, or one crypto asset to pool smaller pools.

Maximize crypto liquidity

Liquidity Hub was created in response to the gap and inefficiencies associated with bridging the world of fiat and cryptocurrency. It works as a standalone solution or an extension of our cross border payment solution that leverages our global network to provide members with access to payment lanes around the world.

As a turnkey solution for businesses, Liquidity Hub was designed to make it easier and more efficient to source digital assets from the broader crypto market. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for businesses looking to boost liquidity, power cryptocurrency payments and operations, or support end-customers interested in buying, selling, or holding cryptocurrency.

“Liquidity Hub benefits from all the hard-won lessons Ripple gained from sourcing liquidity from other providers and in multiple places for ODL. It combines ease of use, powerful payment integrations, cost savings and more into a single, scalable, enterprise-grade platform,” said Brad Chase, director of liquidity products at Ripple.

Reduce costs and release trapped capital

Available 24/7/365, Liquidity Hub leverages intelligent order routing to source a variety of digital assets at optimized prices across multiple liquidity venues, including market makers, exchanges and OTC tables. These deep multi-vendor liquidity pools ensure liquidity is available when you need it, from USD to BTC, ETH, ETC, BCH and LTC.

By optimizing crypto price and liquidity Through asset pairs, companies can realize significant cost savings on high-volume transactions such as treasury management.

Importantly, Liquidity Hub reduces the need to pre-fund capital positions to generate liquidity or transactions within multiple locations, freeing up previously trapped capital that can be applied to other areas of your business.

Eliminate complex liquidity management

This solution makes it easy to get and manage liquidity in multiple locations. And because it uses an optimized API, companies can get started with their crypto strategies without the intensive integrations and unnecessary investments of time and resources.

Once live, Liquidity Hub eliminates the complex management requirements of multiple locations by allowing businesses to access digital assets in one place. Multi-location, multi-asset sourcing also ensures optimized pricing and stability to protect companies from market volatility and price fluctuations.

The intuitive dashboard allows for streamlined transaction management, trading and reporting to further simplify digital asset management. This simple, user-centric approach helps companies avoid having to build teams of crypto experts, giving them more time, budget, and staff.

“Liquidity Hub offers ease of use and interoperability, helping teams quickly and easily get started and then manage the assets that power their business,” Chase said.

Power an interoperable future

Liquidity Hub is an integral part of Ripple's commitment to help businesses unlock immediate real-world value through crypto and blockchain.

In essence, it allows for a seamless bridge between traditional fiat and crypto assets. Together with Ripple's broader suite of products, Liquidity Hub enables businesses to optimize crypto liquidity and leverage an extensive network of global payment rails to streamline crypto transactions, treasury management, and other applications.

Its streamlined API and simple, intuitive design make it easy for clients to deploy and manage. And its ability to execute trades in real time 24 hours a day with minimal requotes or slippage, all while meeting a high level of security and regulatory standards, provides peace of mind for any business.
