ACI Worldwide Adds Ripple's XRP Ledger as Settlement Rail in SWIFT Framework

ACI Worldwide, handling $155T in annual transactions, integrated Ripple's XRP Ledger into SWIFT's multi-chain framework, enabling banks to use XRP for settlements. This move aligns with SWIFT's ISO 20022 rollout and follows Ripple's acquisition of GTreasury, expanding its reach in corporate treasury payments. XRP's adoption as a settlement asset remains uncertain, with Ripple targeting 14% of SWIFT's $155T volume.
