XRP’s hook-up with SWIFT is backed by code? ISO 20022-relevant system update reveals a shocking link.
According to SWIFT’s estimations, the multi-trillion global banking giant expects 90% of regulated banks to adopt the new ISO 20022 global messaging standard. This brings ISO-compliant crypto currencies on the pedestal, while SWIFT continues XRP & HBAR testing on the new rails.
SWIFT’s Technical Specs Hint At Brewing XRP Partnership
The revamped banking system model pictures SWIFT & Ripple (XRP) in one place, piquing the interest of market watchers awaiting the testing results. “If these images are the real deal, it means this integration wasn’t just announced — it was already built in!”, – remarked Ledger Man.
The two financial behemoths are shown side-by-side on the R3 Corda ecosystem. If Ripple’s XRP Ledger is indeed powering the back-end infrastructure, are other banks taking heed? As ISO 20022 global messaging upgrade rolls out, institutional interest is likely to grow following the regulatory wins.
XLM, HBAR Contend For SWIFT, But XRP Is Built Different
Namely, the Registration Management Group (RMG) takes care of the legal process of SWIFT’s ISO roll-out. The board includes popular Layer-1 heavyweights like Algorand (ALGO), Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR), Ripple (XRP) & Stellar Lumens (XLM). Surely, the new upgrade could push interoperability to unprecedented levels.
However, SWIFT’s XRP & HBAR testing is bringing a whole another layer to the integration talks, as SWIFT operates a $155 trillion annualized trading volume market. Predicted to capture 14% of this trading volume by Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse, the intersection between XRP & SWIFT comes after Ripple’s SEC settlement & over 300 TradFi partnerships claimed.
On The Flipside
* Without any preliminary results, the maturity of XRP Ledger’s testing on SWIFT’s rails can completely turn the tables around if the outcome is surprising.
Why This Matters
The legal breakthrough has dramatically boosted the blockchain tech adoption rate among traditional banks & service providers. Merchants are looking for instantaneous settlement solutions, so Layer-1 major caps such as XRP perfectly fit the candidacy.
