The analyst says this fight isn\u2019t only about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/xrp\/no-magic-switch-for-xrp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">XRP\u2019s price<\/a>. At the center of it are Ripple, the company behind the XRP token, and SWIFT, the old network banks use for international transfers. In the video shared on X, Hilton warns that the outcome of this \u201cwar\u201d could impact XRP\u2019s value and adoption, as Ripple continues to grow despite the strict regulations it has faced in recent years.<\/p>\n<h2>Analyst Austin Hilton Says Ripple And SWIFT Are Locked In A Battle For Global Payments<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/austinahilton\/status\/1975205887838212280\" rel=\"nofollow\">Hilton described it as<\/a> a \u201cwar raging on<b>\u201d<\/b> between Ripple\u2019s blockchain-based network and SWIFT\u2019s decades-old infrastructure.SWIFT stands as the central system for international money transfers, connecting thousands of banks worldwide. However, Hilton says that dominance is starting to crack. The SWIFT system is too slow, too expensive, and too outdated to compete with the instant payments that blockchain now makes possible.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s network, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-is-already-penetrating-swift\/\">powered by XRP<\/a>, delivers a faster, cheaper, and frictionless experience. Transactions that once took days now settle in seconds, cutting out the intermediaries and costs that have long defined the old system.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hilton, Ripple\u2019s blockchain technology reduces the friction typically associated with SWIFT\u2019s traditional banking processes. As a result, Ripple and<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-institutional-adoption-ripple\/\"> its XRP Ledger are becoming<\/a> strong alternatives to SWIFT\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse\u2019s comments that Ripple could take <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/how-ripple-is-taking-on-swift\/\">up to 14\u201315% <\/a>of SWIFT\u2019s massive market share over time. While Ripple might not replace SWIFT entirely, Hilton said it is steadily capturing a significant share of the global payments market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>SWIFT\u2019s Blockchain Push Seen As A Response To Ripple\u2019s Rising Momentum<\/h2>\n<p>Hilton also pointed to SWIFT\u2019s latest move to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ripple\/swift-blockchain-ripple\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">adopt blockchain technology<\/a> as a reaction to Ripple\u2019s growing success.. SWIFT announced that it will use Linea, a system built on Ethereum, and will test smart contracts and stablecoins. But Hilton described this move as mostly a public show meant to signal adaptation rather than a step forward, noting that SWIFT is scrambling to catch up to Ripple\u2019s decade-long head start in real blockchain development.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hilton, Ripple\u2019s consistent innovation gives it an edge, while SWIFT is only now trying to adapt to the blockchain era. Hilton connected this rivalry to XRP\u2019s current price struggle, pointing out that as Ripple\u2019s network expands, the token\u2019s demand could climb since XRP is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/ripples-bridges-xrp-into-swift\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">vital to the system\u2019s transactions.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hilton emphasized Ripple will not completely replace SWIFT, but will continue to take a larger share of the global market. Hilton warned that this ongoing \u201cwar\u201d is about who will shape the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/altcoin\/ripple-cto-drops-bombshell-xrp-at-the-core-of-trillions-in-banking-future\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">future of international payments<\/a>, and XRP holders are right in the middle of it.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Re4iivf5\/\" alt=\"XRP price chart from Tradingview.com\" width=\"3286\" height=\"1688\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto analyst Austin Hilton has warned that a battle is happening around XRP as the token struggles to recover.
