As the world increasingly looks for alternatives to traditional systems, XRP is emerging as a potential game-changer, specifically in the cross-border payments industry.
Ripple, the major distributor of XRP, has partnered with major banks and financial institutions, aiming to revolutionize how money moves across borders by using blockchain technology.
One of the most significant partnerships is with SBI Group, a large Japanese financial services company. SBI has actively integrated Ripple’s technology into its operations, particularly in remittance services in Asia.
The goal is to streamline and reduce the costs of cross-border transactions. Ripple’s technology, leveraging XRP as a bridge currency, allows for near-instantaneous transfers, ensuring liquidity and reducing reliance on pre-funded accounts.
A recent post by Amelie (@_Crypto_Barbie), a popular figure in the XRP community, highlights a commercial produced by SBI Group that draws attention to the potential of XRP.
In the advertisement, two climbers, symbolizing Bitcoin and XRP, are shown competing in a race to the top of a wall. While Bitcoin appears muscular and strong, XRP, depicted as a more casual climber in a suit, ultimately beats Bitcoin in the race.
The commercial suggests that XRP has the potential to surpass Bitcoin in solving some of the very issues Bitcoin originally aimed to address, particularly in terms of speed, scalability, and transaction efficiency.

Can XRP Beat Bitcoin?
The message in the commercial resonates with the broader sentiment among many XRP advocates. Unlike Bitcoin, which has been criticized for its slow transaction times and energy-intensive proof-of-work mechanism, XRP offers a faster, more efficient alternative for global payments.
Ripple’s consensus algorithm allows for transactions to be validated in seconds, far outpacing the performance of Bitcoin’s network. As such, the commercial speaks to XRP’s ability to emerge as a superior solution in certain use cases, particularly those involving financial institutions and remittance services.
Moreover, as Amelie highlighted, there is growing speculation that Japan, a global leader in financial innovation, will see its banks adopt XRP by 2025. Japan’s banking sector is well-known for its openness to exploring new technologies, and SBI Group’s continued promotion of Ripple’s products only fuels this speculation.
BRICS nations are also seeking alternatives to the SWIFT payment system, opening up another market where XRP can be pivotal. Ripple’s ongoing partnerships with banking institutions position XRP as a viable contender to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the future of digital assets.
