The index climbed to 14.902 million liquidity by January end. At the same time, the price of XRP was receiving support from the market as XRP was valued at $0.2387 as the month ended.

February saw a rush of bulls in the market carrying the third-largest coin to its 2020 peak at $0.3491, while March dragged the price of the crypto back down to $0.1000. Despite the volatility in the spot market, the liquidity on the ODL platforms remained active and closed higher, at the end of February and March. The XRP/MXN index marked ATH on 16 April 2020 at 33.537 Million in liquidity. In the following days, the liquidity dropped and as the month ends, it would be the first month that the liquidity was closing at a low.

XRP/AUD

XRP/AUD has been the newly activated index, which saw a negative start to year market liquidity of -189,898. However, the extensive use on the index drove the liquidity on the platform as it ended January with 3.094 million liquidity. As the liquidity in the market touched a million, it continued to mark subsequent all-time highs. There was a consistent rise in the liquidity on the platform in April as it began the month with 7.380 million and marked an ATH on 17 April at 14.427 million.
