Crypto influencer Amelie recently commented on SWIFT’s latest payment-related announcement by sharing her perspective on social media. In her post, she included an image of a now-deleted Watcher.Guru message that had claimed SWIFT was nearing an agreement with Ripple to use XRP for cross-border payments. The image further stated that billions of XRP were secured in escrow as liquidity reserves. Alongside the image, Amelie added her own remark, writing that she was “patiently waiting for this announcement to come true,” signaling her anticipation that such a development could materialize in the future. Patiently waiting for this announcement to come true #XRP https://t.co/VOKHmqNWkS pic.twitter.com/bBcg6MDsLB — 𝓐𝓶𝓮𝓵𝓲𝓮 (@_Crypto_Barbie) September 25, 2025 SWIFT’s official statement Her post came shortly after SWIFT published an official message outlining a major new initiative to improve cross-border retail payments. According to SWIFT, the plan involves cooperation with leading global banks and aims to make international retail transactions as fast and predictable as domestic ones. The organization positioned the initiative as a significant step toward modernizing global payment infrastructure for consumers and small businesses. Importantly, SWIFT’s communication did not make mention of XRP or any direct collaboration with Ripple. Clarification about the Watcher.Guru post The image Amelie shared originated from a Watcher.Guru tweet published on March 20, 2025. That tweet stated that SWIFT was close to a partnership with Ripple involving XRP and liquidity reserves. However, the claim was later determined to be inaccurate. According to a Times Tabloid report , Watcher.Guru’s account had been compromised, and the misleading post was a result of that breach. The outlet confirmed that the assertion of a pending SWIFT and Ripple agreement was not correct and Watcher.Guru subsequently removed the message. Despite the clarification, the image of the original claim circulated widely and drew attention from crypto enthusiasts before being taken down. Amelie’s decision to highlight the screenshot in her own tweet shows her interest in the possibility that such an agreement could eventually happen, though no official confirmation supports it at present.

While Amelie expressed her hope for a future where XRP could play a role in SWIFT’s operations , there is no evidence that such an arrangement currently exists. The only official communication from SWIFT remains its statement on enhancing retail payment systems without reference to any particular digital asset. The circulation of the screenshot and Amelie’s reaction underscore ongoing interest within the crypto community regarding whether traditional financial institutions, such as SWIFT, may eventually incorporate digital assets, including XRP, into their payment frameworks. For now, the factual record confirms only that SWIFT is working with global banks to accelerate and standardize cross-border retail payments.
