For years, the conversation around Ripple and SWIFT has been dominated by one question: can XRP ever connect to SWIFT’s 11,000-member banking network? Many assume such a breakthrough would require a formal partnership between Ripple and SWIFT. However, the truth—highlighted by analyst SMQKE in a recent post on X—is that XRP has already achieved integration with SWIFT through several certified, third-party 0 companies act as gateways between Ripple’s blockchain technology and the traditional banking infrastructure, allowing XRP to flow through the SWIFT network without needing direct 1 New Era of Interoperable Finance SWIFT’s ongoing transition to ISO 20022 has created a new foundation for global 2 standardized messaging framework allows for richer data, real-time interoperability, and seamless connectivity between traditional banking systems and emerging blockchain 3 complementary initiative, CBPR+ (Cross-Border Payments and Reporting Plus), extends this compatibility to cross-border payments, ensuring that institutions worldwide can communicate using a unified 4 parallel, SWIFT has introduced its Transaction Management Platform (TMP), shifting from legacy messaging to API-based 5 architectural evolution enables distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), such as the XRP Ledger, to interact directly with SWIFT’s 6 the first time, blockchain and digital assets can move natively through SWIFT-connected systems, providing a technological bridge between on-chain settlement and off-chain financial 7 ALREADY HAS MULTIPLE ENTRY POINTS INTO THE SWIFT NETWORK — HERE’S A LIST OF THE THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS MAKING IT POSSIBLE Many still ask how XRP could ever reach SWIFT’s 11,000 8 answer is that Ripple chose the fastest and most efficient path: deploying… 9 — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) October 4, 2025 How Ripple Enters the SWIFT Ecosystem Rather than pursuing a headline-grabbing alliance, Ripple strategically partnered with multiple SWIFT-connected technology providers—firms already trusted by major banks for payment processing and 10 vendors meet ISO 20022 and CBPR+ standards and are integrated with Ripple’s tech, allowing seamless XRP transactions over SWIFT’s 11 the key providers identified by SMQKE are Finastra, ACI Worldwide, EastNets, TAS Group, Temenos, Volante Technologies, and 12 of these firms operates at the intersection of banking infrastructure and financial messaging, making them ideal conduits for Ripple’s technology.
Finastra’s collaboration with Ripple, for instance, provides access to more than 11,000 financial institutions connected to SWIFT, allowing banks to execute XRP-based cross-border settlements while maintaining their existing SWIFT messaging setup. Similarly, EastNets’ PaymentSafe platform bridges Ripple’s blockchain with SWIFT’s global payment infrastructure , enabling banks to settle transactions via XRP without leaving the SWIFT 13 Technologies, TAS Group, and Temenos have also integrated Ripple’s solutions into their payment gateways, each facilitating API-level interoperability between SWIFT and the XRP 14 are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Integration Without Formal Partnership This layered structure clarifies a frequent misconception: XRP’s presence in the SWIFT ecosystem does not depend on a direct partnership between Ripple and SWIFT.
Instead, interoperability is achieved through these middleware providers, which translate SWIFT messages into blockchain instructions and vice 15 a result, XRP can function within SWIFT’s compliance framework while benefiting from the speed and liquidity of blockchain 16 distributed integration model aligns with the evolving nature of global 17 than replacing legacy networks, blockchain solutions like RippleNet and the XRP Ledger are being woven into existing infrastructures—quietly but effectively—through certified intermediaries that already hold SWIFT accreditation. A Silent Revolution in Cross-Border Settlement The implications of this development are profound.
Ripple’s technology is no longer confined to theoretical pilot programs; it is embedded within the operational layers of global payment gateways that connect to 18 institutions upgrade to ISO 20022 and explore tokenized settlement, these gateways provide immediate access to XRP liquidity and on-chain 19 essence, what retail investors have long anticipated—a pathway for XRP to flow within SWIFT’s network—has already materialized. SMQKE’s analysis reveals that Ripple’s approach was not to compete with SWIFT, but to integrate beneath it, leveraging compliant intermediaries to bridge both 20 result is a quietly unfolding transformation in cross-border payments—one in which XRP already has multiple, active entry points into the SWIFT 21 : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial 22 views expressed in this article may include the author’s personal opinions and do not represent Times Tabloid’s 23 are urged to do in-depth research before making any investment 24 action taken by the reader is strictly at their own 25 Tabloid is not responsible for any financial 26 us on Twitter , Facebook , Telegram , and Google News
