Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has predicted that XRP could take up to 14% of interbank messaging platform SWIFT transaction volume in the next five years. Garlinghouse shared this projection at the recent XRPL Apex Conference in Singapore. The CEO said this in response to an interviewer’s question at the event. According to him, SWIFT today is premised on messaging and liquidity. With the liquidity being owned by banks, he believes XRP can supplant that with crypto liquidity. He said: “There are two parts to SWIFT today: messaging and liquidity. The banks own liquidity. I think less about the messaging and more about liquidity. If you’re driving all the liquidity, it is good for XRP… so I’ll say five years, 14%.” Garlinghouse’s comments highlight how Ripple is counting on using crypto liquidity to gain market share in the cross-border payments sector. With its approach, the firm expects that its ability to offer faster and cheaper transactions that leverage blockchain technology will be enough to take market share from SWIFT. Currently, SWIFT powers the majority of all international transactions. Interestingly, there have been reports of a potential partnership between Ripple and SWIFT that could integrate XRP with the platform. However, Ripple’s moves suggest it is more likely to position itself as a competitor. Meanwhile, talks at the XRPL APEX were not restricted to Ripple’s ambitions for cross-border payments, with the company’s CTO David Schwartz also announcing a couple of developments within the XRPL ecosystem. The biggest update was that the XRPL Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain will launch in Q2 of 2025. The product Ripple developed in partnership with Peersyst already has its testnet active since March 31, with over 80 projects already deployed on the testnet. Given that June is the last month of Q2, it is expected that Ripple could launch the sidechain sometime this month. That could be a major boost for activity on XRPL by allowing Ethereum-compatible smart contracts and decentralized applications on XRPL. According to Ripple, over 6 million active wallets are on the network, with a lifetime transaction volume of around 33 billion. However, it could use a boost in DeFi transactions, with payments currently dominating on-chain network activity. Interestingly, XRPL is already primed to see more activity with Ondo Finance , which is finally launching its OUSG tokenized US treasuries product on the network. This comes after the real-world assets tokenization protocol announced the plan in January. Users can mint and redeem OUSG on XRPL using Ripple stablecoin RLUSD. Other announcements on the first day of APEX include the news that publicly trading Vivo Power will deploy $100 million in XRP to the Flare ecosystem to generate yield and the upgrade that allows XRPL to support Dynamic NFTs. Meanwhile, the developments announced at the XRPL APEX did nothing for the XRP price over the last 24 hours. According to CoinMarketCap, the token is down almost 3.5% today, falling to $2.244. This decline is likely due to the general fall in the price of crypto assets after Bitcoin slipped from over $110,000 to $107,000, causing almost all other tokens to also record a slump. XRP could not buck the trend despite the positive sentiments expected from its conference. With its recent decline, the token has been down 3.35% year-to-date. This best describes how 2025 has been for XRP, with the token steadying around above $2 and struggling to see any major gains. Nevertheless, the XRPL APEX is a three-day event set to end by June 12, so many positive updates to the ecosystem could still be announced. XRP holders will be counting on such to boost the token value. Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings? Learn how DeFi can help you build steady passive income. Register Now

VivoPower taps Flare to deploy $100M in XRP for institutional yield, pioneering the XRPFi standard for compliant corporate treasury management on blockchain. According to a press release shared with crypto.news on June 11, global sustainable energy solutions company VivoPower International has partnered with layer-1 blockchain Flare to generate yield on its Ripple (XRP ) holdings. The initiative begins with an initial deployment of $100 million through a scalable framework built on Flare’s native protocols. The Nasdaq-listed company said this marks the first large-scale execution of its new corporate strategy to transition into an XRP-centric treasury operation. Backed by a consortium of global shareholders and advised by former senior Ripple executives in Asia, VivoPower aims to transform its digital asset holdings into a productive, yield-generating engine. VivoPower stated that the initiative will be regenerative, allowing it to generate yield through Flare-native protocols, such as Firelight, and reinvest that income into its core XRP holdings to create a “perpetually compounding and capital-efficient” treasury. The partnership pioneers the XRPFi standard, described in the statement as a “necessary evolution of DeFi” designed to meet the needs of institutional treasury management. This model is built on three key principles: sustainably generated yield, unwavering regulatory clarity, and asset-backed security. VivoPower selected XRP as its core reserve asset due to its long-standing regulatory clarity, operational track record, and technical architecture well-suited for tokenized real-world assets. The company emphasized that these attributes make XRP the logical foundation for its digital treasury strategy. Kevin Chin, Executive Chairman and CEO of VivoPower, noted that the company also plans to adopt Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD as a primary cash-equivalent reserve to enhance the treasury’s stability and regulatory compliance. For Flare, the partnership marks a pivotal moment in validating its growing ecosystem as an institutional-grade bridge for XRP utility. Flare’s FAssets system enables non-smart contract assets like XRP to enter programmable DeFi environments while retaining their native security models. “Our FAssets system is a direct application of that core technology. It is more than just a bridge; it’s a gateway that allows institutions to bring assets like XRP into programmable DeFi environments to generate yield, all while retaining their fundamental security. What VivoPower is pioneering today is an open invitation for all institutions to build on this new utility layer,” Hugo Philion, Co-Founder of Flare. Flare’s momentum has been underscored by strong liquidity growth. According to DeFiLlama , the network’s total value locked has surged nearly 460% in the past two months, rising from $29 million on April 1 to an all-time high of $162.14 million as of June 8.
