As the financial world accelerates toward digital transformation, the gap between legacy systems and Web3 technologies is becoming more obvious.
Most banks, payment processors, and capital markets still rely on decades-old infrastructure that can’t meet the demands of real-time, global commerce.

Ripple, through its combination of RippleNet, the XRP Ledger (XRPL), and enterprise-grade blockchain solutions, is positioning itself as the bridge between traditional finance (TradFi) and the decentralized economy.

Let’s explore how Ripple is future-proofing global finance by providing the infrastructure needed to power tokenized money, assets, and services.


The Financial System’s Pain Points Today

  1. Slow Cross-Border Payments
    • Settlement times of 2-5 business days.
  2. High Transaction Costs
    • Hidden fees and multiple intermediaries.
  3. Limited Access to Liquidity
    • Capital is locked in nostro/vostro accounts.
  4. Inefficient Asset Transfers
    • Securities settlement can take days to finalize.
  5. Siloed Systems
    • Financial networks don’t talk to each other, creating friction.
