The talks about Ripple’s distributed ledger technology started when the major banking institution, HSBC, managing assets worth $3 trillion, shared its admiration for Ripple and its cross-border payments technology.

According to a tweet from XRP Healthcare’s Head of Social Adoption Edward Farina, HSBC believes Ripple’s DLT can enhance the efficiency of end-to-end value transfers, lower costs, mitigate operational risks, and expedite settlement periods.

In a recent report, HSBC highlights how Ripple’s XRP ledger is instrumental in enabling real-time cross-border settlements. HSBC highlighted:

Practical uses for DLT are multiplying. The post-trade space presents great opportunities but is only one of many potential applications. In time, DLT could even facilitate trading.

HSBC is optimistic that banks can adopt a similar approach using Distributed Ledger Technology by utilizing tokens that represent central bank currencies. In the foreign exchange realm, HSBC’s FX Everywhere tool has already managed to process more than 3 million inter-company FX transactions, with a total value of $250 billion within its inaugural year, emphasizing the potential of DLT-based solutions.
