Why I'm super bullish on $XRP right now.

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.

1/6
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.

2/6
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."

3/6
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.

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.

5/6
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.

6/6
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?

I believe Gilbert Verdian understands the large financial institutions and their needs from the inside... and this being what separates Quant from other projects.
A programmer, security expert with experience from huge institutions.

Even in the case of Ripple, he met them first in 2013 when they were working with Westpac.. and he saw the isdues they had connecting with the bank systems. 1/3
Perhaps in Ripple you had software guys who didn’t really know how the banks operated.

Overledger making it seamless for banks and enterprises to connect their existing systems with blockchain/DLT. Following regulations and adhere to high security standards. 2/3

SWIFT, R3: $XRP, $XDC

Internal R3: $XDC bridges to external $XRP

R3 + Xinfin is not new.

Dec 5, 2018 $XRP + R3 Corda Settler announced: r3.com/press-media/r3…

Jan 30, 2019: SWIFT + R3 Partnership: cnbc.com/2019/01/30/swi…

Feb 9, 2019: Xinfin + R3: pymnts.com/news/b2b-payme… ImageImageImage
April 18, 2019: pr.com/press-release/…

Transformer + XinFin. To translate SWIFT messages.

Follow the timeline. Surely all just coincidences, right? 🐇 Image
Just putting the obvious here. As most of you know: Image

This is my Ripple conspiracy theory and their big connections with central banks and the IMF.

I’m just going to be blunt. Maybe I’m right.. maybe I’m wrong.. but I don’t believe the largest banks like Citi really likes Ripple that much, along with XRP..
2/
Reason I’m saying this is firstly because Asheesh Birla has said Citi told them that they are their enemy on a meeting.

Why I think this is so? Ripple along with XRP brings disruption... the flow of funds won’t be controlled by the largest banks with Ripplenet
3/
and settlement through XRP. These giant banks take out large fees for smaller banks to hold nostro for them.

A bank like Citi can then control the flow of funds and make money doing so. Control as well as fees. Very high barriers of entry for these nostro holding

Warning: Very speculative.

This is how I could imagine SWIFT playing the game: Even though it is a cooperative of banks it seems they are working in competition to Ripple. Gottfried creating SWIFT gpi instead of working with Ripple is one example.
2/
The issue for SWIFT is that Ripple offers the full package, could entirely replace SWIFT. It seems SWIFT gpi has become a lot more competitive to xCurrent lately. A fire was lit under their ass by Ripple.
3/
What Ripple offers that no one else can offer is on-demand liquidity. This is the future, nostro vostro will die out, it's just a matter of time.

This is why I find it likely SWIFT would want to use Corda Settler with XRP to gain this massive advantage.

When #xrp starts being used as a bridge asset as a standard it will be the perfect investment for any savvy investor. Why?

Consider first an investment into stocks. Stocks have over the last hundred years proven to be a great investment, averaging something like
2/15
a 7% yearly return on average adjusted for inflation. But stocks are volatile and companies often fail. They are a high risk investment. Many unforseen events can bring down the business.

Now, consider XRP. Imagine an ecosystem for XRP is being developed.
3/15
This may take some time. At this moment payment providers are using xRapid but banks are not really live yet. Regulations are not clear.

It is thus still risky. Imagine in the future, all regulations are passed and XRP enjoys a good traffic from banks.

xRapid builds liquidity, both from the sender market and receiver market. So if it goes from USD - XRP - MXN it builds liquidity both in USD and MXN. So the competing bridge asset (XLM) has to compete in both markets.
2/10
So, in other words, it would not be enough for XLM to just target some exotic fiat to try to win that market. The total cost will depend on the spread and order book depth of both markets.
3/10
The more liquidity xRapid builds, the harder it will be to compete. First mover advantage is hugely important. If XRP gains billions of volume in a market and XLM has a few million, the software will pick XRP every time, since it’s automatic.
