Crypto researcher SMQKE recently shared a post comparing SWIFT GPI to Ripple 0 tweet captioned a video in which a speaker outlined the contrasts between SWIFT’s Global Payments Innovation (GPI) service and Ripple’s blockchain-based payment 1 commentary assessed the strengths and limitations of both systems, focusing on infrastructure, processing speed, adoption levels, and industry 2 GPI vs Ripple 3 — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) September 7, 2025 Ripple’s Impact on SWIFT’s Evolution The video began with the assertion that Ripple has acted as a direct alternative to SWIFT, describing Ripple as “a new technology.” According to the speaker, Ripple’s entry into the payments space has forced SWIFT to adapt and modernize its 4 stated that Ripple “has forced SWIFT to improve payment processing standards, which have previously been ignored or taken for granted by SWIFT.” This highlighted how Ripple’s innovation has accelerated progress within the cross-border payment 5 video emphasized that Ripple approaches payment processing challenges with different methods, specifically through blockchain and the Interledger Protocol (ILP).
By contrast, SWIFT’s updates through GPI still rely on its longstanding infrastructure, which the speaker described as less disruptive compared to blockchain 6 and Technology Differences A key section of the video addressed the technological gap between the two systems. SWIFT’s GPI tracker provides visibility in cross-border payments but still depends on existing, decades-old infrastructure. Ripple, meanwhile, is built on blockchain technology, which offers advantages in transparency and 7 speaker noted, however, that blockchain remains unproven at scale, particularly in terms of the framework’s capacity to support global financial 8 Speed and Payment Finality One of the most significant contrasts highlighted was in transaction 9 to the analysis, SWIFT GPI can deliver payments within a window of 30 minutes to 24 hours.
