Summary of the Interview
In the course of the interview with Julia Chatterley, the CEO of the Money Transfer giant stressed the reason why Ripple, the US-based blockchain tech is the best choice to save the company in this difficult time. He then stressed that the company, MoneyGram and himself hold no XRP, the Ripple’s digital token.
He further explained that Ripple simplifies the process of money transfer across the globe with its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) solution, making transactions cheaper and affordable.
Holmes also acknowledged Rippleâs ability to command money across borders in a magical manner, with instant funds transfer without trapped liquidity.
He said, “They also have the vision that encapsulates what we are trying to do as well. I think and Ripple and its crypto XRP are innovative in that sense.”
MoneyGram Holds no XRP
As the interview headed to conclusion, Julia Chatterley asked whether the MoneyGram CEO holds any XRP, he said he does not hold XRP.
He added that the same applies to MoneyGram. Holmes clarified that the company sells any XRP received as soon as possible.
“We do not hold any crypto assets for any period of time on our books⌠any XRP that we receive we tend to sell about as real-time as possible,” the CEO concluded.

Def a good interview. Keep at it, we love to hear whatâs coming next and to me it sounded like w Ripple and MGI both overlapping the same clients that they will be folded into ODL services especially Ripples customers who are there for one thing only, cross boarder liquidity!!!
