A recent video shared by SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG), a well-known crypto researcher on X, has renewed interest in the technical links forming between blockchain solutions and established financial systems. In the video , an Eastnets representative explained how the company’s PaymentSafe platform serves as a payment hub capable of unifying transactions across domestic, international, and SWIFT networks. The speaker described PaymentSafe’s universal translator as critical for exchanging different payment formats, mentioning the legacy MT standard alongside the ISO 20022 format , including CBPR+. SMQKE shared the video with a caption that asserted that Ripple is “actively being integrated into SWIFT,” emphasizing that third-party partnerships such as EastNet and Ripple, “are key to enabling XRP to move across the SWIFT network as an ISO 20022-compliant asset.” This remark has framed the discussion about how Ripple’s technology can function within long-standing banking infrastructure.

By acting as a translator for payment formats, PaymentSafe facilitates smoother Straight-Through Processing (STP) for financial institutions. Its compliance with ISO 20022 enables interoperability between newer blockchain systems like Ripple and legacy infrastructures, such as SWIFT, which continue to rely on MT messages during their transition. According to SMQKE, this configuration “ connects Ripple’s blockchain technology with SWIFT’s traditional financial systems.” The post further claimed that the integration enables XRP to act as a bridge currency, facilitating cross-border payments through SWIFT’s global network. Emphasis on Seamless Integration for Banks The post highlighted the adoption of innovative technologies without overhauling their existing frameworks as a shared priority among financial institutions. PaymentSafe’s hub reportedly enables banks to tap into Ripple’s blockchain without disrupting established processes.

Positioning XRP as a Bridge Currency The narrative from SMQKE’s post aligns with a growing perception that XRP can serve as an efficient bridge currency and settlement asset for global transfers. As international banking continues to move toward ISO 20022 standards, partnerships that bring together traditional payment networks and blockchain solutions appear increasingly relevant. With platforms like PaymentSafe facilitating communication between the SWIFT network and Ripple’s blockchain, the opportunity to expand XRP’s role in settlement appears more feasible for institutions reluctant to adopt entirely new infrastructures.
