Xcurrent is the on ramp for the local, fiat currency to come into the Ripple Labs, Inc platform. The next exchange is into the Xrapid pool of liquidity or holding in escrow.

This accounting assures no mishandling of values occurs as the escrowed holdings are then flushed with Xrapid to the Xcurrent software platform.
Once the values have reached Xcurrent, an opportunity is available to exchange into the recipient party's local Fiat or Digital Currency of choice. The ILP reflects the completion of the Exchange of a Digital Asset from one entity to another in under 5 seconds.
