XRP News Today: Experts Highlight XRP as Base Layer for Global Payments and RWA Tokenization

A panel of industry experts recently underscored XRP’s potential to evolve as the foundational layer for global payments, moving beyond speculative trading toward a more structural role in financial infrastructure. In a video hosted by Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto), Dave Weisberger of BetterTrade.digital joined Tillman Holloway, Andrew Parish of Arch Public Inc., and Joshua Frank of The Tie to explore which blockchains are best positioned to underpin future financial systems. Weisberger highlighted XRP and Solana as two key contenders, with XRP focusing on international payments and Solana leaning more toward high-speed trading [1].

The discussion emphasized XRP’s role in facilitating cross-border transactions and its potential to support stablecoins such as RLUSD and possibly future tokens from major institutions like JPMorgan. Weisberger argued that XRP’s value will be determined by its utility in real-world applications, particularly in tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) and enabling global settlements. He noted that XRP’s growing adoption in RWA tokenization, combined with its efficiency and scalability, places it in a strong position to become a core component of the next-generation financial infrastructure [1].

Interoperability with traditional financial systems, such as SWIFT, was another key topic. Weisberger pointed out that XRP’s ability to integrate with legacy infrastructure could enhance its relevance in global payments, especially if large banks begin issuing stablecoins on the XRP Ledger. Such institutional adoption could position XRP as a backbone for international transactions and a critical part of the evolving digital finance ecosystem [1].

The broader market context also revealed emerging trends. While XRP leads in RWA tokenization, newer platforms like Sui are beginning to challenge its dominance [6]. Meanwhile, developments such as Webull’s reentry into the crypto space could influence investor behavior and market dynamics [5]. Analysts have also speculated on the potential price impact of increased adoption of RLUSD on the XRP network [4], though these remain forecasts and should not be taken as confirmed outcomes.

Overall, the consensus among the panel was clear: as the financial industry moves toward blockchain-based solutions, XRP’s combination of speed, efficiency, and interoperability could solidify its role as a foundational layer for global payments. With real-world applications already in motion, XRP is increasingly viewed as a serious contender in the race to shape the future of finance [1].
