Ripple Financial System Bridge

Added: 2026-05-29

[00:00:00]Hey, XR peeps. Hope everybody's doing well and uh I wanted to share this graphic that I found that um it I guess it gives you something that you can really wrap your brain around. I mean, you can take a look at it. It's visual, right? A nice visual aid that kind of shows you what's coming our way uh and what it's looking like from the legacy system, the system we currently operate under financially, around the globe, to to what it's going to be reorganized as and how it's going to siphon into and through XRP uh when you also consider all the um uh acquisitions that have been made. Uh so, let's take a quick look at this uh graphic in detail here. So, I I really like the uh the title they came up with for this graphic. It's a Ripple's financial system bridge connecting tradfi, traditional finance, to the XRP ledger uh and also taking into account all its acquisitions. And so, I really like it. It's more like a mile-high view of what's to come. All right? So, let's take a look at the first uh the top row here, right? So, the these up here should be pretty familiar to everybody.

[00:01:08]Over here, we got JP Morgan.

[00:01:10]Uh what do we have there? Goldman Sachs.

[00:01:12]Uh we have Citibank, HSBC.

[00:01:15]And uh over here, we have Deutsche Bank, right? So, and I mean, that's not all [clears throat] of them, of course, but that gives you an idea of what we're talking about. Major banks, right? JP Morgan, uh all those all those major banks that you know out there. They're going to run through there and go through their traditional banking system. Uh and there's a there's a process by which it'll be converted. Now, I did talk a little bit about securitization and what they're going to do about tokenizing uh the traditional markets. So, right now, this can happen the way you see there in terms in terms of transmitting money uh and converting it to a blockchain-based system using XRP as the exchange, but then you're also going to have other forms of value running through these systems here. All right, so those are the banks running their traditional finance system and then from there pours into any one of these Ripple acquisitions based on what what you need done, right? Uh there you have Ripple custody. So you just want to custody certain assets. There they are.

[00:02:13]You can hold them on the blockchain.

[00:02:14]They're safe, accessible 24/7, and all the other measures that you may want. It's faster, cheaper, easier, uh more cost-effective. You don't need as many employees. It's all digital.

[00:02:26]Uh and it's uh it's uh what is it? Um It's always on, right? You can always look at it from from the institutional uh standpoint and also from the customer standpoint. Uh then you have Hidden Road. That's a prime brokerage. That's the broker for those big banks. When they want to make their significant trades, they can run it through Hidden Road and have the liquidity of the XRP ledger.

[00:02:49]G Treasury. That's for That's more like a corporate thing. Corporations bank with those major banks up there.

[00:02:54]Uh they need to manage treasuries. The banks have treasuries as well. And treasuries need to be monetized at the same time being held securely. And so there's your treasury. You you use that and it's there and then you settle. You bring everything in and you take everything out utilizing the XRP ledger, right? So it all transfers through there quickly like for like and uh in terms of one-to-one transfers. Uh so you can switch anything from anything to anything using the XRP ledger.

[00:03:23]Uh with the XRP itself as the bridge, right? For example, you can go from a Mexican peso to a uh uh a French franc, right?

[00:03:33]One-to-one value, you transmit it uh immediately. It'll come in as a peso, it'll convert into XRP, and then within 3 to 5 seconds it spits out a franc and in in equal value out on the other side of wherever it is on the globe 24/7 365. And then over here you have of course your RippleNet, which is a service that helps do all of that.

[00:03:56]That is the the payment processing service that Ripple sells as a service to all these financial institutions, to large corporations, to governments, and to consumer facing facing organizations like MoneyGram or TransUnion, things like that. So, that gives you an idea of what's going on with traditional banking utilizing a lot of the acquisitions made by Ripple and the XRPL itself and and sort of like gives you that visual aid as I mentioned earlier. It kind of helps you try to um I think it's like good assistant to help you wrap your mind around what we're looking at. Kind of the flows. I mean, it's not going to be exactly like this, but I think this kind of simplifies it.

[00:04:40]Now, on the other side of the equation, you also have to be able to interconnect the XRP ledger with other blockchains because there will be DeFi services, right? There's going to be uh real estate services. You're going to have tokenized real estate, tokenized securities. And so, you're going to need need to be able to interconnect here.

[00:04:58]So, Ripple's got a lot of partners that help it do that. It's got bridges to Ethereum, bridges to Solana, bridges to other blockchains like Avalanche, for example.

[00:05:08]Uh and that helps to deepen its liquidity and it's um it's ability to service a larger customer base. But, this here, this partnership's pretty cool. Let's take a quick read here.

[00:05:21]It says that uh Ripple joins Squid's $6 million strategic round. Squid powered by Axelar. We're familiar with Axelar, right? They help tokenize the stock market also.

[00:05:33]Uh so, it routes liquidity across 100-plus chains with 6 billion-plus cross-chain volume and XRPL integration.

[00:05:43]That's not bad, guys.

[00:05:45]But, that's those are the kinds of strategic moves that Ripple is doing utilizing the digital asset XRP to make sure that it has as broad and as deep a footprint in the traditional banking space and the new blockchain based space so that when this Clarity Act passes when when I'm not going to say all the rules of the road are going to be there but it's going to be the central necessary central focal point that you're going to need from which you can move forward so the banks can meet their fiduciary responsibilities and start utilizing this blockchain based technology because as it stands right now since there is no clarity they would be remiss they wouldn't be meeting their fiduciary responsibility in utilizing those technologies and jeopardizing or putting at risk customer or stakeholders assets in doing so if that makes any sense to but this kind of gives you that visual aid so you can see they're working from both ends they're also working the government angles right they're in they're in the room with the Trump administration they're in the room with the with the Treasury Secretary and every everybody that matters they're in there with the senators and the Congress people there they've got their ear they're talking to them they're trying to push this thing through and they're also in the ears of international companies and other governments around the world so and in Japan Singapore to name a few right so this is what I'm looking at another data point where I look at this and it just makes sense and if it makes sense to you let me know if it doesn't that's all right man not everybody can make apples and oranges from this right or figure it out but for me it's it's just what you would expect if you were transforming the global financial system it it makes sense to me anyway so let me know what you think in the comments like share subscribe and bookmark we'll see you guys on the next one till next time adios amigos
