Ripple Highlights RLUSD Impact as Real-World Value Flows Into Small Businesses

Crypto pundit Chad has drawn a connection between Ripple and XRP with SWIFT. 
This comes as Ripple continues to expand its payment services and other 
operations, further integrating XRP and RLUSD into traditional finance 
(TradFi). Pundit Draws Attention To The Connection Between Ripple And XRP In 
an X post, Chad noted that Ripple Treasury and XRP are now connected directly 
to SWIFT. This came as he highlighted Ripple’s listing of SWIFT as one of its 
connectivity partners for payments. The treasury management firm stated that 
it is part of the SWIFT Certified Partner Program. Related Reading: XRP 
Analyst Shares What To Expect Once Ripple Taps This $12.5 Trillion Industry As 
part of the SWIFT Certified Partner Program, Ripple Treasury stated that it 
offers global bank connectivity and hosting options for SWIFT&#8217;s Alliance Lite2 
platform. As part of the Ripple, XRP connection with SWIFT, Ripple Treasury 
has also partnered to offer SWIFTRef data for IBAN and ABA lookups directly 
from within its workflow. Additionally, Ripple Treasury has partnered with 
Fides, which works closely with platforms such as SWIFT. Fides helps Ripple 
Treasury to extend multi-bank connectivity to customers around the globe. 
Meanwhile, Chad also pointed out how Ripple and XRP, by proxy, are basically 
integrated into the financial system. This is through Ripple Treasury’s 
ClearConnect connectivity layer, which provides connectivity to banks 
worldwide. The pundit noted that for any bank not yet connected, it now takes 
only 7 days to install the API and connect. At the moment, Ripple Treasury is 
connected to NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Infor, Workday, and MS Dynamics. It is 
worth noting that this Ripple Treasury’s connectivity layer enables customers 
who hold crypto assets across multiple platforms to connect to these 
providers, so they can view their entire portfolio on their treasury 
management system without needing separate systems. Acquiring GTreasury Was 
Ripple’s Biggest Move In another X post, Chad stated that GTreasury was the 
“single biggest move” that Ripple has ever made. This came as he alluded to 
Ripple’s latest move to launch the first management system with native on- 
chain capabilities. This move integrates XRP and RLUSD into the Ripple 
Treasury, allowing customers to use these crypto assets in the same 
environment as fiat. Related Reading: Why SWIFT’s Latest Global Payments 
Infrastructure Is Bullish For XRP Holders The pundit remarked that Ripple 
doesn’t need the CLARITY Act to operate, as the crypto firm continues to 
integrate XRP into mainstream finance. It is worth noting that Ripple is also 
close to becoming a national trust bank, which could further give the crypto 
firm access to the U.S. banking system. Additionally, the firm has applied for 
a Fed Master account, which would enable it to use the Federal Reserve’s 
payment rails for its stablecoin operations. At the time of writing, the XRP 
price is trading at around $1.31, up in the last 24 hours, according to data 
from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from
