According to another CNF update , Ripple designed XRP as a bridge currency for seamless cross-border payments between different fiat currencies. Expert forecasts suggest a potential XRP surge to $1,000, backed by a $1 trillion market, with XRP reported to process 1,500 transactions per second at minimal cost.

A notable example of its efficiency is Arrington Capital’s transfer of $50 million in just 3 seconds for only $0.3. While XRP is often compared to Stellar (XLM), XRP focuses on serving financial institutions and corporations, whereas XLM caters to individual users.

The World Bank’s selection of XRP is a major milestone, and experts believe XRP could play a critical role in future international payment systems, potentially supporting a crypto-based SWIFT alternative.

While being recognized as the Best Currency for International Transactions by the World Bank, Ripple (XRP) is trading at $0.5512, with a 0.13% increase in the past day and a 3.98% decrease in the past week. See XRP price chart below.
