🚨 Ripple Set To Become The Global Central Bank With The U.S. Announcing Trade Unification With BRICS, UK, Japan and EU
Russia just announced considering moving back to the US Dollar as part of a wide-ranging economic partnership with President Trump.
• Russia is reportedly pivoting back toward the U.S. dollar, a structural shift in global settlement flows. Notably, Russian banks tested XRPL pilots with Ripple as early as 2018.
• The India-U.S. trade corridor is expanding with the recent trade deal while multiple Indian banks have already tested XRPL rails at institutional scale(as noted in video below).
• China, despite geopolitical tension participated in early Ripple/XRPL experimentation with BRICS countries between 2016-2018(documented).
This is no longer a BRICS-only story: Japan, the EU, and the UK are building parallel regulatory pathways compatible with blockchain-based settlement.
• Japan remains one of Ripple’s deepest strongholds, partnerships spanning 50+ banks, with Japan set to officially recognize as XRP as a financial asset by late 2026.
• On Dec 1, 2025 Ripple received payments license in Singapore through MAS.
• At the EU layer, ex-EU and now ECB President Christine Lagarde has previously acknowledged Ripple as a major disruptor to banking, signaling institutional readiness of where markets are heading.
• Ripple now holds 40+ regulatory approvals across Europe, alongside fresh authorization in the UK, forming a compliant payments corridor across major capital markets.
XRPL’s recently announced Permissioned domains will be used by global central banks and countries, with zk-credential system and identity-linked KYC wallets via , allowing countries to move liquidity globally safely while staying compliant.
‼️ The Part Most People Missed:
When Ripple secures a U.S. banking license, it effectively becomes a regulated dollar gateway, positioning RLUSD as the connective tissue of global liquidity while nations remain dollar-linked through XRPL rails.
