The global financial system is facing increasing demands for modernization, and blockchain-based solutions are gaining momentum in conversations among major institutions.
The current crop of outdated payment infrastructures has opened the door for technologies like XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to play a more central role.
Widely followed SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) recently shared a statement from LEI Worldwide reinforcing this narrative by highlighting Ripple and XRP’s potential impact on cross-border payments.

XRP’s Potential as a Bridge Currency
LEI Worldwide is a company that provides Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) registration and management services, helping organizations comply with global financial regulations by issuing and maintaining LEIs. The document identified a pressing need for “faster, more reliable and cost-effective ways to send money abroad,” citing cryptocurrency as a viable alternative.
In the analysis, LEI references Ripple’s blockchain payment system, suggesting that it is being discussed within the IMF and WEF as a candidate to address these challenges. The XRP army recently speculated on a secret meeting between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and the IMF, but there has been no concrete evidence of any discussions.
The report also mentioned the possibility of creating a bridge currency capable of unlocking trillions of capital held in reserve in foreign pre-funded accounts while providing stimulus to the global economy.

For XRP, this aligns directly with its design as a neutral bridge asset for international payments. Unlike traditional systems that require pre-funded nostro accounts, XRP facilitates instant settlement across currencies, reducing capital inefficiencies.
If such proposals gain traction within the IMF and WEF, the asset could see increasing adoption as part of a broader move toward more efficient financial infrastructure.
ISO 20022 Compliance Strengthens XRP’s Case
The report further notes that both SWIFT and Ripple have signed up to the ISO 20022 standard, which could eventually integrate the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) as a KYC solution. This development strengthens the case for Ripple’s ecosystem and XRP as they position themselves within a globally recognized financial messaging standard.
The shift toward ISO 20022 provides XRP with an opportunity to operate alongside legacy systems while offering superior settlement capabilities.
Additionally, LEI Worldwide suggested this integration could be utilized by central banks in a CBDC system. In this scenario, XRP’s role as a liquidity provider could grow, enhancing interoperability between digital currencies and fiat.
The acknowledgment of Ripple’s technology at such high institutional levels reflects a changing perception of digital assets like XRP. As LEI Worldwide outlined, unlocking dormant liquidity from pre-funded accounts could bring the “exact economic boost needed in these difficult times.”
