Financial technology firm Ripple Labs has announced the launch of its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) platform where financial institutions, governments, and central banks can mint their stablecoins and CBDCs. Notably, Ripple has been making several efforts toward driving accessibility for CBDCs as a platform for innovation and also to increase the adoption of national digital currencies.
This is a laudable project from Ripple seeing that many regions are currently in different stages of rolling out a potential CBDC. While some countries are still researching and exploring the possibility of launching their CBDC, others have started developing theirs. The last group is for those who have already implemented a CBDC design or a prototype and this group seems to be the smallest.
Considering where all of these countries are in their CBDC journey, Ripple is trying to fit in and ultimately become a solution provider for them
Brooks Entwistle, the senior vice president of Customer Success and Managing Director of APAC and MENA at Ripple mentioned at a certain time that the firm was already in talks with about 20 countries about the implementation of their CBDCs
Ripple CBDC Platform Leverages Same Technology as XRPL
The Ripple CBDC platform is modeled as a revised version of the XRP ledger (XRPL) which was introduced two years ago. Per a published statement, the CBDC platform will leverage the same blockchain technology as the XRPLedger (XRPL), therefore, users will be able to customize and manage the entire life cycle of fiat-based CBDC transactions and distribution.
When the Terra (LUNA) and UST stablecoin collapse caused an uproar in the crypto industry in 2022, Ripple noted that it had the capacity to accommodate stablecoins and CBDCs for a ton of people with XRPL. This confidence was fuelled by the heightened security, reliability, sustainability, and interoperability that has been built in the XRPL
Also, XRPL has the capacity to accommodate a large volume of transactions with fast processing time and cheaper costs.
Surangel Whipps Jr, President of the Republic of Palau expressed how collaboration with the Silicon Valley-based fintech company has helped the country remain relevant in terms of financial innovation
“Partnering with Ripple to help create our national digital currency is part of our commitment to lead in financial innovation and technologies, which will provide the citizens of Palau with greater financial access,” he said.
Ripple Labs and the Republic of Palau had a similar partnership in 2021 when they both developed the United States dollar-backed climate-friendly stablecoin
During that time, Palau leveraged the XRP Ledger for several use cases including as a corporate registry. Ripple’s collaboration with Palau at the time meant the implementation of the world’s first government-backed national stablecoin in the first half of 2022. Ripple’s responsibility included providing Palau with technical, business, design, and policy support.
With the utility coming to Ripple that is bound to benefit XRP, we can expect the coin’s price to shoot up in the long term. That the coin will touch $20 is not impossible, but may take a while to achieve this milestone.
