Ripple and XRP Cross-Border Payment System Cited In Russia Central Bank Paper
The recent publication by the Central Bank of Russia titled “Digitalization of Payments and Implementation of Innovations in the Payment Market (2024)” has garnered significant attention within the global financial community, particularly due to its mention of Ripple’s cross-border payment system.
This development has sparked discussions on various social media platforms, including a tweet by Edo Farina, the CEO of Alpha Lions Academy. Farina’s tweet points out the acknowledgment of Ripple and its associated token, XRP, within the Russian central bank’s document.

The paper outlines advancements in cross-border money transfers, and Ripple’s solution takes center stage, leveraging distributed ledger technology (DLT). This acknowledgment of Ripple, a company that has pioneered digital payments through blockchain, showcases its potential role in the future of global financial systems.
The document provides a diagram that explains how Ripple’s system works, detailing the transfer of tokens through DLT networks and their conversion into local currencies, facilitating seamless international payments. This method aligns with Russia’s broader goals of integrating digital innovations into its financial infrastructure.
XRP’s Role in Global Payments: Insights from Janus the Watcher
Farina’s tweet, while highlighting the importance of Ripple in this context, also sparked conversations about the potential of XRP in international settlements.
In response , an X user named Janus the Watcher pointed out that while the document does recognize Ripple’s system and mentions XRP, Automated Market Makers (AMMs), price oracles, and even Ripple’s smart contract platform Codius, it does not necessarily confirm that Russia or the BRICS nations will settle international transactions using XRP in the near future.
Janus’s response reflects a cautious interpretation, acknowledging Ripple’s technology but emphasizing the absence of any definitive decision on using XRP for cross-border settlements by Russia or other BRICS countries.
The attached document extracts shared by Farina and Janus add depth to the conversation. In one of the images, the diagram clearly illustrates the process of converting fiat currencies into internal tokens, transferring these tokens via Ripple’s DLT network, and finally converting them into the recipient’s currency.
This process highlights Ripple’s ability to streamline and expedite cross-border payments, offering significant cost savings and efficiency improvements.

The Future of Ripple in the Global Financial Ecosystem
The Russian Central Bank document discusses the broader potential of distributed ledger networks and smart contracts. Smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with terms embedded in code, can automate complex financial transactions, including cross-border settlements.
Ripple’s use of smart contracts , as well as the development of tools like Codius, positions it as a leader in the digital payments space. The paper also references asset tokenization and the potential for financial instruments to be traded on decentralized platforms, further underlining the technological shifts happening in the global financial market.
The implications of this acknowledgment are significant for Ripple and XRP. While the document does not explicitly state that Russia or BRICS nations will adopt XRP for international settlements, the mere mention of Ripple’s technology by a major central bank underscores its relevance in the evolving digital payment landscape.
