US-based payment protocol Ripple has announced purchasing 40% of Malaysia-based cross-border payments company Tanglo to expand its presence in Southeast Asia.

The investment firm TNG Fintech Group remains the majority owner of Tranglo. The aim of this purchase is to expand RippleNet's on-demand liquidity or on-demand liquidity (ODL) service, which uses the cryptocurrency XRP. Regulatory approval is required to do this. Ripple aims to significantly enlarge its ODL paths with Tranglo's payment infrastructure.

Tranglo is a cross-border payments center offering business payments, money transfers, and mobile top-ups, with offices in Malaysia, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom. A representative of RippleNet stated that the acquisition would make cross-border transactions using blockchain technology and digital assets faster and more secure.
