It was confirmed that when they mention instant settlement, that has to include XRP in Ripplenet. I wasn't sure if that could achieved with traditional nostro/vostro but apparently not. It HAS to include XRP settlement.

Finastra has a solution called "Ripplenet via Fushion Total Messaging" where Finastra's customers can implement Ripplenet. finastra.com/sites/default/…
It's clear that emphasis is on instant settlement. It thus has to mean settling using XRP.

That is the big selling point as you see being highlighted. Finastra as we know it is huge. 10,000 customers. 90 of the World's largest banks are Finastra customers. They have over 10,000 employees.
"with a target processing time of one million transactions per hour."

If you do some calculations that would mean 277 transactions per second. For reference, if you cut down the amount of SWIFT payments being sent, that would be around 470 per second globally. bankinginfotech.com/finastra

This is how I believe mass adoption of XRP is done in the banking system. Signing up one customer at a time takes too long time.
Since Finastra's customers can utilize Ripplenet (with XRP settlement) you can achieve mass adoption much faster.

It reminds me of another strategy that we've heard about. But instead of SWIFT we have Finastra's customers who have easy access to Ripplenet.
Finastra handles integration of Ripplenet to banks. This is how you can get mass adoption of ODL by banks.

and it's just not Finastra, others as well... but how many options do you have if you wish to have instant settlement?
How many of Volpay's solutions can bring you instant settlement?
The only thing I really believe in is that the whales need to make retail think the opposite will happen at bottom/tops.
Why? To make as much money as possible they need retail to sell to them at bottoms and buy from them at tops.

This is why I think following the sentiment works so well. It’s also really hard to quantify sentiment on Twitter in an accurate way. So it has to be done mostly qualitatively.
I don’t really care where people think markets will go since markets discounts the future 2/4
In other words, the future is already priced in. Why? If everyone knew the markets would crash tomorrow, everyone would sell today.
I believe the whales do this with winner projects as well. It then makes sense why they are quiet about the best projects and push 3/4
Schwartz reveals the secret sauce!! Is his long-term vision of global $XRP liquidity pools about to come true soon? (not clickbait)
A thread 🧵 /1
Remember this tweet back in July?

He's using very big words. "secret sauce" and "game-changer." He also tells us it's "planned." It will give automatic market makers more incentives to provide liquidity.
BIS released their report "A Future Monetary System" in June of 2022.
It contained some heavy critiques against crypto... but I would make the argument that if there's one crypto that could pass standards, it's $XRP and perhaps $XLM.
I would start off with a controversial statement and that is that in my opinion, there is an element of XRPL being "permissioned" as far as validators goes.
If I had to make a guess, I don't think you have to source by the use of $XRP, since both BTC and ETH are more liquid than what $XRP is but this is my theory:
Ripple have made it part of their business model to not force FIs and enterprises to use XRP but...
