Ripple CEO just declared war on SWIFT.

"We're taking over SWIFT" - Brad Garlinghouse on Bloomberg. Not hinting. Not exploring. Taking over.

$XRP is the play here.

100+ banks already onboard. One remittance company cut tx costs from $20 to $2. Usage spiked 800% instantly. That's not a test run, that's adoption.

SWIFT moves trillions daily but it's slow, expensive, and built on 50-year-old rails. Ripple offers instant settlement, fraction of the cost, real-time cross-border rails.

Ripple doesn't need to kill SWIFT completely. Force them to adapt or capture enough market share - either way $XRP wins. Banks are voting with their integrations.

This isn't hopium. This is infrastructure war with real numbers behind it.
