Hold onto your wallets, folks-Reece Merrick from Ripple has declared that the digital future needs “unified infrastructure,” which is corporate speak for “stop winging it and actually plan stuff.” 🚀 In a stunning twist, he also revealed that global finance is going on-chain, like it or not. Spoiler: You’ll probably like it, but your accountant might cry.
“The digital future demands unified infrastructure, not piecemeal solutions. @Ripple is building infrastructure to make global finance go on-chain. 🚀 Payments: Real-time cross-border payments using #XRP/#RLUSD on #XRPL. 🔐 Custody: Bank-grade security for… oh, I don’t know, probably your crypto stash.”
– Reece Merrick (@reece_merrick), November 22, 2025, probably while sipping a blockchain-shaped latte ☕
According to Merrick, Ripple’s four-part strategy includes:
1. Payments: Real-time cross-border transfers, the digital version of a global high-five. 🤝
2. Custody: Bank-grade security, which is just a fancy way of saying “don’t lose your keys.” 🔐
3. Tokenization: Turning everything into tokens, because why own a house when you can own a JPEG of it? 🏠➡️🖼️
4. Prime Brokerage: For when you’re too rich for regular crypto chaos. 💸
All powered by XRP Ledger, XRP, and RLUSD-because nothing says “innovation” like naming three things that all start with R. 🤷♂️
Ripple’s Big(ger) Moves
In the past two years, Ripple has acquired six companies. That’s like buying six different gyms-except instead of getting in shape, they’re “strategically investing” $4 billion into crypto. 🧠💸 Pro tip: If you ever need to explain blockchain to your grandma, just say it’s like Venmo but with more jargon.
Earlier this year, they swallowed Rail, a stablecoin company. Now Ripple Payments is a “full-service cross-border platform.” Translation: They’re trying to be the Amazon of sending money, but without the questionable Prime membership. 📦
XRP: From Payments to Mind-Reading?
XRP has evolved from moving cash to… well, moving everything. Liquidity, tokenized assets, and now even digital ETFs. Next phase: XRP will probably settle your divorce. 💔
RippleX’s brain trust recently proposed “native staking” on XRP Ledger. A thought experiment, they called it-like saying “let’s see if we can teach a goldfish to code.” 🐠💻 But hey, if it works, maybe we’ll all be staking XRP while the doge memes fund our retirement. 🐕🚀
