As far as I'm aware, there is not use of XRP as of now. There's a difference between Ripple the company and Ripple the centralized blockchain, which many fail to realize.

From a Fortune article about this [1]:

> The partnership will see MoneyGram pilot the use of XRP through a new Ripple service, called xRapid

So there is usage of XRP.
