OpenfindAI founder Tom recently drew attention to a section of an academic publication that references XRP as part of a possible framework for cross-border liquidity between stablecoins and national currencies.
The post focused on a paper co-authored by Kevin Warsh, the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve, suggesting that the document reflects growing institutional recognition of private-sector digital asset infrastructure.
Tom shared screenshots from the 2022 publication Digital Currencies: The US, China, and the World at a Crossroads, edited by Darrell Duffie and Elizabeth Economy. The highlighted section discusses how future international payment systems could use stablecoins and private digital assets to facilitate currency conversion and cross-border settlements.

This paper explicitly states that private sector infrastructure should NOT be ruled out in future digital money systems‼️

Paper References XRP in the Cross-Border Payment Context
The highlighted passage in the paper states that “any national currency could thus be convertible into any other national currency in two steps via the stablecoin.” It further explains that such a framework would resemble “the cross-border payments system that Ripple currently operates with its XRP cryptocurrency.”
The paper also notes that multicurrency corridors “should not rule out the use of regulated private stablecoins or cryptocurrencies,” while acknowledging that these systems may require additional regulation.
Tom emphasized this section in his X post and argued that the wording shows increased acceptance of private infrastructure providers within discussions about the future of digital finance.
According to Tom, the reference to XRP in an academic and policy-oriented publication linked to Kevin Warsh is significant because it presents Ripple’s infrastructure as an example of how future digital money systems could operate. He wrote that private infrastructure providers such as Ripple are becoming “critical components of the financial system.”
Ripple’s Long-Term Positioning Highlighted
Tom’s post also focused on Ripple’s long-term strategy in the digital payments sector. He argued that Ripple is among the few companies that have spent years positioning itself for the possible integration of blockchain-based settlement systems into global finance.
The screenshots attached to the post showed the publication’s contributor page, which included Kevin Warsh among several notable economists, policymakers, and financial experts. Tom used this detail to support his broader claim that XRP and Ripple are increasingly appearing in institutional-level discussions about digital currency infrastructure.
The post framed the paper as evidence that policymakers and financial researchers are examining systems that combine public and private digital currency solutions rather than excluding private companies from future monetary frameworks.

Community Reactions Focus on Stablecoin Adoption
One response highlighted by Tom came from X user Jay Nisbett, who connected the paper’s statements to recent developments in Japan. Nisbett wrote that on June 1, Japan would adopt foreign privately issued stablecoins as par value for government payments, effectively treating them similarly to fiat currency in specific contexts.
He added that this policy direction aligns with the paper’s statement about regulated private stablecoins and cryptocurrencies serving within multicurrency payment corridors.
The conversation surrounding the post centered largely on the possibility that governments and financial institutions may increasingly incorporate regulated private blockchain infrastructure into international payment systems. Tom’s thread presented Ripple and XRP as examples of technology already operating within that framework while broader policy discussions continue around stablecoins, digital currencies, and cross-border liquidity solutions.
