According to a viral clip floating on X, XRP Ledger’s original design makes it prone to quite high valuations due to the small-time division called ‘Drops’. These are 1,000,000 micro units of one XRP coin, so one ‘Drop’ is worth 0.000001 XRP, potentially magnifying the value of one ‘Drop’ in case of a substantial liquidity boost on the network.

Ripple Lab’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse has recently pegged the enterprise opportunity at around $120 trillion in corporate treasury payments. Last year, Ripple acquired GTreasury, processing beyond $13 trillion in payments, but none of them came in digital currencies. In Ripple’s roadmap, the next move is to “make a dent in the universe”.
How Information Equals Value In Ripple’s Vision
The way value gets transferred within institutions comes from the mission of moving money exactly how information moves today. The $155 trillion bid stems not from theory, but from SWIFt’s annualized trading volume. Since Ripple and SWIFT are cooperating together in the ISO 20022 compliance framework, a grasp on that is very likely.
That includes heavy ambitions to reshape the way global payments work. Starting sixteen years ago, the vision has been gradually rising toward manifestation: just lLast week, South Korea’s Jeonbuk Bank officially replaced multi-day SWIFT transfers with Ripple Payments.
Key Hurdles In Ripple’s Majority Grab Of SWIFT
This doesn’t necessarily mean XRP’s going to be used in every transaction. That’s the key difference between the XRP-powered On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) & RippleNet Payments system, allowing different types of digital assets to be used and swapped with local fiat currencies.
Also, there’s a tension rising between XRP Ledger’s native XRP and the RLUSD stablecoin. Ripple’s newly-forged stablecoin garnered attention from Wall Street as well as digital asset behemoths, inking beyond $2.5 billion in market capitalization just two years since inception.
Last week, ACI Worldwide declared new payment route support, including XRP. That’s a global company handling approximately 9% of all annual SWIFT trading volume, bringing Ripple a step closer towards the 14% goal of SWIFT’s yearly volume, as previously predicted by Ripple’s CEO.
