There are many other corridors that Ripple is working on and that they are currently using. These corridors are very important since they allow clients to perform fiat currency transfers around the world for a very small fee and short transaction times.
In the Philippines, for example, the Liquidity Index Bot shows that in the Coins.ph exchange, the XRP/PHP liquidity is very near to reaching a new all-time high. The all-time high was 7,992,120 while the latest report of XRP/PHP liquidity showed there were 7,646,368 XRP worth more than $1.37 million USD at current prices.

Nowadays it is certainly difficult and complicated to move funds across borders, this is why XRP solutions and corridors are helping individuals to perform the transfers they need.
