Brad Garlinghouse further informed that Ripple exceeded expectations for new XRP customer's acquisition and witnessed a decrease in transaction volumes during March. Garlinghouse blamed the Coronavirus pandemic for this negative development.

Brad Garlinghouse said “We saw about an 85% increase in volume across RippleNet between the Q4 and Q1, despite ending March with a slowdown in growth. He added, “Specific to our On-Demand Liquidity, there’s a 190% increase from Q4 from Q1. We saw some of our big customers, a player in Thailand, go live. That’s driving a lot of volumes”.

Garlinghouse confirmed that despite the looming economic crisis during the pandemic, they had forecast 20 new contracts and ended up signing 28 contracts in the first quarter, which they consider as a positive development during the economic slowdown.
