🌐 #HTTP the standard for moving information across the internet… was donated to consortium called #W3C
Guess what else was donated to the #W3C? 😳
The #InterledgerProtocol – the standard for moving value, developed by @Ripple
Because the #ILP doesn't have its own native token, it relies on bridge assets to settle the actual value crossing these different networks. The #XRPL’s native asset - $XRP is used as the highly efficient bridge asset to instantly settle cross-border liquidity in conjunction with the #ILP
Not only did @Ripple donate the #ILP…
They now co-chair the #W3C Web Payments Working Group (writing the rules for how value moves across the globe)
$XRP is a universal payment layer that connects directly to #HTTP – meaning it can be used by every browser on earth the same way #HTTP can.
Now connect the dots… 🧩
@Ripple is in HIGH-Level working groups, designing the future of value transfer for:
✅ @BIS_org (Project Agora)
✅ IMF (High-Level Advisory Group on Fintech)
✅ @federalreserve (Faster Payments Council)
✅ W3C (Web Payments Working Group)
✅ @The_DTCC (Tokenisation Working Group)
How can you NOT see what’s happening here…??
$XRP is being positioned as the next GLOBALLY used protocol – similar to what #HTTPS did for information, but for value transfer…
🚨 "Crypto will be dead in 2 years." Here's why XRP/XRPL will outlive that prediction.
- Global cross-border payments : $150 trillion/year.
- Average SWIFT transaction cost : $25 to $100.
- Settlement time : 1 to 5 days. Intermediaries per transaction : up to 5 banks.
- XRPL transaction cost : $0.0002. Settlement time : 3 seconds. Intermediaries : zero.
If just 10% of SWIFT volume moved to XRPL : $1.5 trillion in transactions. Savings : billions per year. Instantly.
This is basic math. @Mastercard already chose XRPL. The BIS just validated the concept.
The question is not if. The question is how fast.
