VanEck Sees XRP Capturing Trillions in Cross-Border Payments Market

VanEck, a financial firm managing $110 billion, sees Ripple's XRP Ledger as a leading player in cross-border payments, collateral, and securitization markets by 2030. These markets generate tens of billions annually, with XRP positioned to capture significant value due to its instant settlement capabilities.

VanEck highlights XRP's competitive edge over traditional financial institutions and Ethereum-based solutions, though regulatory clarity remains a hurdle. Approval of crypto-friendly regulations could accelerate VanEck launching XRP-based investment products.

XRP is currently trading at a 19-month low, around $1.05, but institutional interest in the asset remains strong. Ripple has burned over 20% of its RLUSD stablecoin supply since May, and a leaked SWIFT slide suggests XRP may integrate as an optional liquidity layer alongside SWIFT's messaging system.

The growing adoption of XRP is reflected in the performance of XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have experienced eight consecutive weeks of net inflows totaling about $1.5 billion since November.
