Crypto analyst CryptoBull (@CryptoBull2020) recently shared a video discussing Ripple’s upcoming transformation into a regulated bank. The video emphasized the significance of this development for XRP.
It explained that Ripple will not only work with banks but also become one. This positions XRP at the center of global finance. According to the video, “XRP would become the first crypto fully integrated into the global banking system.”

Ripple’s National Trust Bank Plans
Ripple is pursuing a national trust bank charter, officially referred to as Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB). This charter allows Ripple to operate under federal oversight.
The bank will manage custody services, settle transactions, and support stablecoin reserves. It will not accept traditional retail deposits or issue consumer loans. Ripple’s goal is to provide regulated infrastructure for institutional payments and digital asset management.
The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) conditionally approved the charter in December 2025. This approval allows Ripple to move forward with setting up the bank while meeting federal requirements.
These requirements include capital allocation, governance structures, and compliance measures. Once complete, Ripple will gain access to federal payment systems, enabling it to settle transactions directly within the U.S. banking system.
XRP’s Role in the Banking System
The creation of RNTB integrates XRP into Ripple’s banking operations. This is a major step toward positioning XRP as a settlement layer for cross-border payments. By becoming a bank, Ripple ensures XRP can operate in a fully regulated environment.
The video highlighted that this move puts XRP at the center of trillions in payments, reinforcing its utility beyond speculation. Institutional players can use XRP directly in settlement processes, providing a real use case for the token.

Market Impact and Price Potential
Analysts have noted that Ripple’s progress toward RNTB is a key driver for XRP’s adoption. The bank will manage institutional assets and stablecoin reserves, focusing on RLUSD rather than holding XRP directly. XRP remains linked through the XRP Ledger, where it powers transactions and supports the stablecoin ecosystem.
Ripple’s transformation into a bank means the crypto community will see XRP integrated into traditional financial systems, increasing demand. This regulatory legitimacy and practical use case could support upward price movement.
XRP has a history of strong rebounds to positive developments, and the bank charter could accelerate institutional participation, speeding up XRP’s growth. With the OCC’s conditional approval, Ripple now has a pathway to full national bank status.
