Once upon a time, in a realm not so far away, technology set out on a noble quest for “decentralization,” much like a peasant dreaming of becoming a prince. And lo! It has now sauntered into the financial world, striking poses and winking at the future, which, if one squints hard enough, might even appear bright for decentralized finance (DeFi) and our quaint little affairs with money.
Payments, dear reader, have become the favored playground for Level 1 blockchains, who are leaping across the chasm from TradFi to DeFi like acrobats in a circus. Just last year, in a grand spectacle reminiscent of a royal acquisition, Ripple, wielding its trusty steed known as XRP, bought GTreasury for a staggering $1 billion. A sum that could make even the most hardened miser swoon!
But wait, there’s more! With a flourish befitting a magician, Ripple and GTreasury have joined forces to unveil their latest trick: Ripple Treasury. This delightful concoction promises swifter cross-border payments by slapping XRPL rails onto GTreasury’s enterprise-grade treasury software-because who doesn’t love a bit of gleaming tech in their financial stew?
As per the scrolls inscribed on Ripple’s official parchment, this treasury aims to smooth the financial operations of GTreasury’s vast network of 13,000 banks. They boast of offering 100% cash visibility-where every coin can be seen dancing in the light-and supporting flows of up to a mind-boggling $12.5 trillion. Yes, you read that right; it’s enough money to make Scrooge McDuck envious!
On the grand stage of macroeconomics, this is yet another feather in XRPL’s cap, proving its worth in the realm of real-world adoption, thanks to its charming native stablecoin, RLUSD, which fuels these payments with the grace of a prima ballerina. It offers on-chain liquidity, speedier settlements, and an experience so seamless you might just forget you’re dealing with finance.
In short, this partnership showcases how blockchain can pirouette around traditional banks like a sprightly youth, doing what they do, but faster, cheaper, and with a flair rarely seen in the stuffy halls of finance. Naturally, this raises a rather cheeky question: Is this Ripple’s first “real” step toward leaving TradFi in a cloud of dust?
Ripple Brings Blockchain Speed to Banks
Ah, the presence of Ripple’s RLUSD is growing in the market like a well-fed cat in a sunny window. According to the wise sages at DeFiLlama, its circulating supply on XRPL has soared by 15.36% over the past thirty days, reaching a majestic total of 388 million. That’s 60 million added in on-chain liquidity, ready to spring into action like a catapult at a medieval fair!
And it seems the momentum is unrelenting! The stablecoin market on XRPL hit an astonishing $400 million ATH, with a handsome $100 million added so far this year. RLUSD takes the crown, comprising a whopping 83% of that-a veritable backbone of liquidity, if I may say so myself.
In this whimsical context, Ripple’s venture into TradFi appears to be less a mere whimsy than a masterfully orchestrated play.
Imagine if you will, RLUSD acting as a digital highway, allowing banks to zip money across distances in the blink of an eye, all while still waving cheerily at the systems they’ve long embraced. It’s a sight to behold, indeed!
But with Ripple Treasury now strutting onto the scene, the system brings along a full ensemble of enterprise-grade treasury tools: liquidity management, risk oversight, and payments-all delivered with blockchain speed, directly into the heart of traditional finance.
Thus, the Ripple-GTreasury partnership is not merely another trivial endeavor to please banks. No, it’s a bold incursion into the very core of TradFi, employing stablecoins like mischievous sprites to enhance banking operations’ efficiency, leaving them wondering how they ever managed without such magic.
