Nothing ever happens in Ripple unless some transaction initiates it. Precisely matching orders are permitted under some circumstances to provide enhanced liquidity. The primary purpose of order books in Ripple is to provide liquidity for payments. Having matching offers on the books permits payments in either direction with zero spread.
why would there be a non zero size if there was no order on the buy or sell side? and if there are indeed buy/sell orders at same or better prices they need to fill – Medicine – 2013-07-15T07:14:02.800
