SWIFT RIPPLE CONFIRMED - MUST WATCH

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]In the last 90 days, just 90 days ago, here's what happened. Swift, the backbone of global banking, they connected over 11,500 institutions across 200 countries. And guess what? They announced its blockchain-based a shared ledger is going live with real transactions this year. 40 plus banks in the building phase, including JP Morgan, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered, and Wells Fargo. MasterCard, 3.5 billion card holders, they acquired a stablecoin infrastructure company for 1.8 billion, specifically connected to on-chain payments and fiat rails. Let's not forget that Visa launched its own tokenization asset platform. State Street launched a digital asset platform. UBS launched its first tokenized investment fund. And both Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon launched a tokenized money market solution. And all of this is happening while the price of XRP is down. And retail investors, they're staring at the chart wondering what's going on here. Folks, the flood isn't coming. It's already here. Today, I'm going to show you exactly what it looks like, institution by institution, and where your beloved, my beloved, our beloved XRP sits in all of this. So, let's kick it off with Swift directly from their website. This barely got any coverage. About a month old. Swift, the financial messaging network that handles cross-border communication between every major bank on Earth, they're building a blockchain-based shared ledger. It's MVP live with real real transactions this year. Yes, you heard that correctly. It is going live this year. They are moving to implement it, folks. Everyone said, "Swift's never going to change." Well, Swift was forced to change unless they never would have changed. Now, Swift's own CEO, Javier Pérez Tasset, he stated at Sibos, that's Swift's like Ripple's well event, "I'm very pleased to announce that we will add a blockchain-based ledger to our technology infrastructure to allow for trusted movement of tokenized value across the digital ecosystems." You think my man Javier, you think he saw the writing on the wall? I sure do. Now, here's the list of participant banks that I'm It's pretty much reads like a roll call. You ready? You ready for all these names? We're going to run through them quick. JP Morgan, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, MUFG, Standard Chartered, NatWest, Wells Fargo, Société Générale, the Royal Bank of Canada, TD Bank, Westpac, Shinhan Bank, over 40 institutions total. No, I'm not going to read all 40 to you. I tried to read all those in under a breath. I practiced. I think I got it. The ledger uses tokenized deposits as the underlying representation of value, everyone. It enables 24/7 real-time cross-border payments. That's right. It leverages your existing compliance infrastructure so that the banks don't have to rebuild the entire stack. And guess what? It's plan is to go live this year. That's right, with live transactions. Now, here's the detail that almost nobody is connecting. The majority of banks in Swift's blockchain ledger, they're also Ripple partners. HSBC confirmed, Standard Chartered confirmed, Deutsche Bank confirmed, MUFG confirmed. These same banks have been running Ripple's infrastructure for cross-border payments, and now they're also building the blockchain layer that sits alongside it. Coincidence? I think not. The bridge between Ripple's ODL infrastructure and Swift's new blockchain ledger, this isn't a theory. The same institutions are building on both sides of it. Now, why do you think that may be? Which brings us over to this cuz just 2 months ago, remember, MasterCard announced that it was acquiring BVNK.

[00:04:08]You remember this piece of news? We'll highlight this section for you. So, who is BVNK? Well, let me break it down.

[00:04:14]This is a stablecoin infrastructure company. They operate in over 130 countries and they got them for up to 1.8 billion, folks. The stated purpose by MasterCard was to connect on-chain payments and fiat rails. Not to study blockchain, not to just pilot a proof of concept, to connect the on-chain world directly to MasterCard's fiat payment network. We're talking 3.5 billion cardholders, millions beyond millions of merchants, and over 210 countries and territories. Now, MasterCard CEO, he said something very, very important. Let me find a quote so we can highlight that for you. He stated, where's my man Michael? And he is I lost his quote. I can't say it. I'm going to read it to you now. He said, "We are advancing our agenda commerce with MasterCard agent paying, expanding our stablecoin solutions through the plan acquisition of BVNK." Also, MasterCard just got their New York license, right? Very hard license to get. MasterCard is a Ripple partner. Do not forget that. Remember they participated in the JPMorgan your live Treasury bond settlement on the XRP ledger that just went down in May of this year. That transaction, you know how long it took to settle? Whoosh.

[00:05:38]Under 5 seconds. That's right. So, when MasterCard acquires stablecoin infrastructure to connect on-chain and fiat, and MasterCard is simultaneously executing live treasury settlements on the XRP ledger. The integrations of these two systems, it's not a future plan, it's already freaking happening.

[00:05:57]$1.8 billion says that dear serious here. You see what I did there? That was the No. Now, let's talk about the tokenization flood because this gets pretty serious. This wasn't actually This is what I wanted to show. Let's blow this up. Now, I want to read you a list, not a speculative list, not a list that ripped me up in his head, a documented list of institutions that launched live blockchain products in the past 18 months. Now, here's the interesting part of this. Ripple used to have an insights article on their page.

[00:06:28]It was titled Ripple named top cross-border payments company in 2026, right? It was all the banks listed, everyone connected, but for some crazy reason Ripple decided they were going to remove that post, not move it to a different URL, completely got rid of the evidence. All right, I you not.

[00:06:47]Now, this list I'm about to read to you, this is going to be a list, and you can see them on your screen. This is going to be a list of institutions that have launched live blockchain products within the last 18 months. BlockRock, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and BNY Mellon, Citi and Fidelity, UBS, State Street, Franklin Templeton, Visa, and HSBC, who confirmed digital assets and currency infrastructures, and partnered with Ripple via Metaco. Metaco, Metaco, however you say it. You know what I'm talking about, the company Ripple just bought. Every single one of these institutions is a major bank or payment network. Did you catch that? And every single one of them, they have launched a live product, and every single one of them is part of the ecosystem that converges on Ripple's infrastructure through the the working group, through BIS's Project Agora, and through direct partnership agreements, or through the XRP Ledger itself. Are you connecting the dots like I am? I think you are. This is not a way of building offshore. This is water that is already on the beach, which brings us over to this clip. This is the COO of Evernorth, one of the largest financial service companies in the world, okay?

[00:08:07]They said this at the Web Summit event Vancouver. I'm going to blow it up.

[00:08:11]We're going to listen to it, and now we're going to talk about it, cuz this is massive.

[00:08:16]>> We believe that the future of finance will be powered by blockchain. And so, when we send money between RBC and say Wells Fargo in San Francisco, those payment rails were developed 30, 40, 50, 60 years ago. The technology is outdated. It doesn't facilitate the use cases that we believe that we should have access to today. I can text anybody a photo for free, anywhere around the world, 24/7. I feel like I should be able to send money with that same ease.

[00:08:49]So, when you say what is institutional crypto, for me, it's institutional buy-in, institutional belief that these are better rails, so we can all effectively move money more efficiently.

[00:09:03]>> Now, she is 100% right. The entire financial infrastructure, it was built in an era when moving information and moving money, they were completely different activities. One is instant and free, the other still costs money and takes days.

[00:09:20]But, here's what the COO also said that most people kind of just glossed over.

[00:09:25]The next phase isn't about building your technology around the legacy systems.

[00:09:30]It's going to be a platform shift.

[00:09:32]Builders can now start from scratch on better infrastructure. Platform shift.

[00:09:37]That means the new financial system, it isn't being bolted down onto the old one. It's being built in parallel, and then the old system, it migrates to the new rails. Now, think about this. XRP was designed for exactly this moment.

[00:09:51]It's purpose-built was for financial services. Starting with cross-border payments, expanding to lending, token vaults, DeFi institutional-grade settlement, the platform that institutions are shifting to, the XRP ledger. It already has the infrastructure that those institutions need, which gets us over to I want you to listen to this clip from the man himself, Chris Giancarlo, cuz he said that this was the watershed moment. Now, this is a former chairman of the CFTC, the man who introduced the first Bitcoin futures. And you need to listen to what he said about the DTCC and what they just did. This is the watershed moment from the former head of the CFTC. Listen to him.

[00:10:35]>> Yeah. And I mean, this tokenization story is is moving fast. Just today, DTCC, the core Wall Street clearing and settlement utility, that processes more than a hundred trillion dollars in security transactions annually, is reportedly targeting a July pilot and an October launch for a tokenized security platform. I mean, this is not a crypto startup. This is a core market plumbing here that we're talking about. I mean, does that mean tokenization is officially moved from theory to infrastructure?

[00:11:02]>> It it does, Jeremy. Your your audience may not be familiar with DTCC. That stands for the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, but it's effectively the they they run the plumbing of Wall Street. You buy and sell securities, and not just equity securities, but debt securities, government treasuries, all of the underlying movement of that, the storage, the the the the value, the collateralization of that is operated by this company, DTCC, which people never hear about, but it's consortium, actually all the world's banks. They assigned to this company 40 years ago the responsibility to do this, and as the market has grown, it's the most important piece of infrastructure in the world. It's the Con Edison, you might say, of New York's financial system and of the global financial system. And what they announced that they are moving from an analog system of recording who owns what to who to who's transferring what to whom to a digital network-based system. I mean, it's it's truly one of those remarkable statements that not enough people are paying attention to, but it really marks that we're leaving the analog state of finance and moving into the new digital network state of finance. It really is a a truly watershed moment. We'll look back 10 years from now when the entire financial system is is in the form of tokenized a token sitting on digital networks and realize that what the DTCC is doing is really the beginning of that. And by the way, they wouldn't be doing this without the wholesale support of the global financial system, who are their shareholders and directors. So, this is not just a one-off. This is the system itself moving to the next phase of financial architecture.

[00:12:44]>> Yeah. Yeah, Chris, that's a major point.

[00:12:45]I mean, if tokenization is >> This is the line from that that matters for the XRP community out there. He said they wouldn't be doing this without the wholesale support of the global financial system, who are their shareholders and directors. So, this is not just a one-off. This is the system itself moving to the next phase of financial architecture. This system itself, not a startup, not a pilot, the 50-year-old institutions that clear 4.7 quadrillion every year is moving to blockchain with the full support of every major bank that has been a member since its founding. That means something, everyone. That huge. Which gets us over to this, Tom Sullivan from the DTCC. They met the market is demanding it. No more experimentations will be done. Production. That's what the head of the DTCC just said.

[00:13:45]>> Is it important in your view now to move away from experimentation and into real production processes?

[00:13:52]>> So, first and foremost, the market is demanding it. The market has seen what can be done, has seen what's possible, and they want it in production. We have some of the largest, most important financial institutions as members, as clients of ours, and they're really eager to move this forward.

[00:14:08]>> Now, here is Ripple's position inside of everything I just showed you. Swift's blockchain ledger, HSBC, Standard Charter, Duchess Bank, MUFG, NatWest, all participating in it. Those are all confirmed Ripple partners. MasterCard acquired BVNK. This connects your on-chain stablecoin infrastructure to MasterCard's fiat network. MasterCard's a Ripple partner. They participated in a live XRP ledger treasury settlement. The DTCC's July launch, Ripple Prime, is in the 50-firm working group alongside BlackRock and Goldman Sachs. And they are already cleared inside the NSCC and FICC. BIS Project Agora, remember that?

[00:14:52]We made the video on it. Phase one concluded just last week. Six, yes, six Ripple partner banks are inside that project and real money testing has begun. BNY Mellon, we all know. They are the custodian of r l USD. BBVA, they are live with Ripple custody under the EU MiCA. Those are their their rules over there, right? Société Générale, they launched a euro stablecoin directly on the XRP ledger. Every institution flooding into blockchain has a Ripple thread running through it. All documented as well. Not because Ripple is the only blockchain company in the world, many others are going to win as well, but because Ripple has spent a decade, a decade, building relationships before anyone else thought that this moment was going to be real. The flood is here. Ripple is the infrastructure that this flood, this storm, is going to run through. So, let me leave you with this. This simple as possible summary of everything we just covered. It was a lot. In the last 90 days, Swift went blockchain with 40 banks live in a build phase. MasterCard, they paid almost 2 billion for stablecoin infrastructure.

[00:16:03]Every major bank has launched a tokenized product and the DTCC, well, they confirmed July and October auto launch dates. This is not a future thesis, this is all going down this year. The wall between traditional finance and blockchain has came down.

[00:16:19]Like the Kool-Aid man broke on through.

[00:16:21]And on the other side of that wall, well, Ripple stood there waiting with open arms to greet everyone. The price doesn't reflect it yet, I get it, but guess what? It will. And when it does, the people who are actually watching the infrastructure while everyone else was staring at a 15-minute candle chart, those will be the ones who were ready for this moment. I hope you enjoyed. I would appreciate a thumbs up on this video and a share. As always, this is not financial advice, it never is and it never will be. I'll see all y'all
