Crypto researcher SMQKE has presented direct evidence confirming Ripple’s participation in the Federal Reserve’s Faster Payments Task Force Steering Committee.
The shared material, taken from Ripple’s official company page, clearly outlines the firm’s engagement with the Federal Reserve initiative as well as its position as co-chair of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Payments Working Group.
This documentation confirms that Ripple’s role in U.S. payment system development is not speculative but is stated within its own corporate description.
The section of the company’s website describes Ripple’s focus on creating global financial settlement solutions designed to establish what it calls an “Internet of Value,” enabling the efficient transfer of funds with real-time certainty.
It also lists Ripple’s offices in San Francisco, New York, and Sydney. It explicitly mentions its involvement with the Federal Reserve’s payments task force, underscoring the company’s broader advocacy for payment modernization.
Yes, Ripple sits on the Federal Reserve's Faster Payments Task Force Steering Committee.✅

Community Commentary on Ripple’s Position
Following SMQKE’s post, X Finance Bull, a member of the XRP community, remarked that while skeptics continue to question Ripple’s legitimacy, the company is actively involved in shaping national payment policy. His statement reflects a growing sentiment among supporters that Ripple’s connections to regulatory and financial policy groups highlight its institutional credibility rather than undermine it.
However, not all reactions were aligned with this view. Another user, Petr Kopecky, expressed frustration over the continued focus on Ripple’s partnerships and institutional activity while XRP’s market performance remains stagnant. He questioned why, despite such notable involvement in payment policy discussions, the asset’s price has not reflected these developments.
This contrast captures a recurring divide within the community between those emphasizing fundamental progress and those primarily concerned with market movement.

Significance of Ripple’s Documented Role
Ripple’s documented position on the Federal Reserve’s Faster Payments Task Force Steering Committee illustrates its formal participation in shaping the direction of the U.S. payment infrastructure.
While this does not imply direct decision-making power within the Federal Reserve, it does show that the company contributes to discussions surrounding the modernization of payment systems and digital settlement standards..
SMQKE’s findings add clarity to Ripple’s broader institutional ties, confirming that the company’s integration into formal payment networks extends beyond speculation. The information shared reinforces Ripple’s positioning within both the U.S. and global financial architecture as it continues to advocate for faster, more efficient cross-border transactions.
