Ripple and Stellar enter the list of the world’s 100 largest cross-border payments companies
Blockchain is gradually ceasing to be an experimental technology and is becoming part of the global financial infrastructure. Another confirmation of this is the inclusion of Ripple and Stellar in the annual ranking of the 100 largest companies in cross-border payments by FXC Intelligence.
Notably, both companies appeared on the list alongside such financial industry giants as Visa, PayPal, Barclays, Bank of America, Standard Chartered, Deutsche Bank, SWIFT, and BNY. This is not a cryptocurrency ranking, but a broader industry study covering key players in the international transfers and payments market.
According to FXC Intelligence, the global cross-border payments market has already exceeded $208 trillion, while the role of new technologies in this sector continues to grow rapidly. Against this backdrop, the appearance of Ripple and Stellar among the industry leaders shows that blockchain-based solutions are beginning to be viewed not as an alternative to traditional finance, but as part of the future payments infrastructure.
For Ripple, inclusion in the ranking is another confirmation of its position as one of the key players in international settlements. The company continues to develop solutions for banks, payment providers, and financial institutions, offering faster and cheaper ways to transfer funds between countries.
Stellar’s presence looks no less important. The network has long focused on affordable international transfers and financial inclusion for users around the world. Recent initiatives in asset tokenization and cooperation with major financial institutions have further strengthened market interest in the Stellar ecosystem.
It is especially interesting that Ripple and Stellar appeared on the same list at a time when many are trying to set $XRP and $XLM against each other. However, the ranking itself shows a different picture. The largest financial market players are increasingly using several blockchain solutions at the same time, choosing different networks depending on their tasks, liquidity requirements, regulation, and settlement speed.
In fact, the inclusion of Ripple and Stellar among the 100 most significant companies in the industry shows that blockchain has already become a full-fledged part of the global cross-border payments system. And this may prove far more important than any short-term price movements in $XRP or $XLM.
