Ripple&#8217;s early push into banking partnerships may be finding new relevance in 
an unexpected place. One of its long-time collaborators has resurfaced at the 
center of X Money, the payments initiative tied to X’s broader ambition to 
become a global financial super app. What once served as a bridge for Ripple’s 
cross-border settlement network is now part of infrastructure aimed at scaling 
digital payments to a massive user base. How A Ripple-Linked Bank Became Part 
Of Elon Musk&#8217;s Payment Push A Ripple-linked banking partner from the company&#8217;s 
earliest expansion days has now surfaced inside Elon Musk’s X Money ecosystem. 
RippleXity revealed on X that Cross River Bank, one of the first US banks to 
integrate Ripple&#8217;s Payment protocol back in 2014 for real-time cross-border 
transfers between the US and Europe, is now powering part of X Money&#8217;s beta 
rollout through its regulated banking services. Related Reading: Why Ripple’s 
XRP Is A Better Transaction Choice Compared To SWIFT The same Cross River Bank 
that reportedly issues the Visa Debit and Flex Cards appears in X Money&#8217;s beta 
program. With X building its payments layer through regulated banking and card 
infrastructure, this places a Ripple-linked financial institution inside 
Musk&#8217;s expanding digital payments infrastructure. Furthermore, the development 
has quickly drawn attention across the XRP community because it creates a 
direct historical overlap between Ripple&#8217;s early settlement technology and X 
Money&#8217;s regulated banking framework. While there is still no official 
confirmation of the XRP integration within X Money, many see Cross River 
Bank&#8217;s role as a significant connection that is difficult to dismiss. Ripple 
Prime Revenue Surges Despite XRP Trading Below All-Time High Although XRP 
continues to trade below 50% its all-time high, Ripple&#8217;s broader 
infrastructure business appears to be gaining momentum behind the scenes. A 
technical analyst known as ChartNerd has noted that institutional adoption 
across Ripple&#8217;s ecosystem is accelerating, with Ripple Prime emerging as one 
of the company&#8217;s strongest growth drivers. Related Reading: Could Ripple XRP 
Power Cross-Border Payments? Russia’s Early Tests Suggest Potential The 
platform reportedly tripled its revenue over the past 12 months, processed 
more than 60 million transactions, and now clears over $3 trillion annually 
while operating across the United States. Thus, this is just one of a broad 
infrastructure stack that Ripples is building out during a bear market, and 
the projects that are being built now will accelerate the next bull run. 
Ripple and XRP have been building this infrastructure for over a decade, from 
surviving regulatory battles and securing a major victory against the SEC to 
expanding XRP Ledger functionality. XRP rules as a commodity, expanding XRPFI 
and DeFi capabilities, strategic acquisitions, banking partnerships, and 
strengthening its global infrastructure through XRPL upgrades. With more than 
300 institutional clients and increasing global licensing approvals, these 
fundamentals have never been stronger, and clarity is on the horizon. Featured
