Ripple Eyes $155T Cross-Border Payments Market as XRP Bulls Revive SWIFT-Replacement Narrative

  • —The $155T figure refers to global cross-border payments, not the $685B remittance market
  • —Jeonbuk Bank replaced multi-day SWIFT transfers with Ripple Payments for business clients
  • —JPMorgan, Ripple and Ondo completed the first tokenized treasury settlement on the XRP Ledger
  • —XRP futures open interest topped $4.1 billion as RLUSD market cap neared $2.5 billion
Why it matters: Institutions can settle on the XRP Ledger without holding XRP, with RLUSD absorbing flows — a key risk for token holders.
