Ripple (XRP) Reveals $13 Trillion Opportunity in Payments

Ripple's Treasury division manages $13 trillion in annual fiat payments for corporate clients. Currently, banks using Ripple’s infrastructure are settling in fiat, with only 5% adoption estimated to move $650 billion through XRP. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, emphasized that this represents a significant untapped opportunity, as none of this volume currently utilizes crypto. Despite Ripple's $50 billion valuation and a successful first quarter, XRP has declined over 60% from its mid-2025 high, raising questions about its potential to benefit from this opportunity.
