Forget Billions—XRP Could Hit Trillions, Leading Expert Says

Western Union's adoption of Solana for USDPT has sparked debate about Ripple's role in global payments. Some argue Ripple's acquisitions of firms handling trillions overshadow Western Union's billions. Ripple now owns Hidden Road, GTreasury, and Rail, providing access to massive payment systems. Supporters suggest these firms could eventually utilize the XRP Ledger for settlements. Others question XRP's relevance after Western Union chose Solana over the XRP Ledger. Some believe XRP could evolve into a treasury asset for storing wealth. Ownership of platforms gives Ripple greater control over technology adoption. Shifting institutional flows to a specific ledger is complex and time-consuming. The debate centers on market preference and Ripple's ability to channel volume to XRP. Observers are watching for evidence that trillions are shifting towards the XRP Ledger.
