Can XRP Catch Up To SWIFT? This Latest ISO Is Changing The Game
A crypto analyst argues that SWIFT's upcoming global shift to the ISO 20022 messaging standard by November 2026 will force a major overhaul of the legacy banking system, potentially benefiting XRP. The analyst, Cheeky Crypto, explains that SWIFT will phase out unstructured messaging, compelling banks to adopt structured, blockchain-backed solutions. He suggests institutions, lacking time and resources to build their own compliant systems, are increasingly turning to existing, regulator-approved bridges like XRP to ensure liquidity. He notes rising institutional interest in XRP-based products and highlights the XRP Ledger's advantages—settling transactions in seconds for minimal cost compared to the days and high fees of traditional cross-border transfers. Ripple's Executive Chairman is cited, stating the 2026 mandate will "wash away" non-compliant, legacy foundations.
