Crypto researcher SMQKE has shared documents that support Ripple’s technical positioning for interoperability with Fedwire, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s real-time gross settlement system. In a tweet, SMQKE stated, “Ripple is positioned for Fedwire interoperability via ECS Fin partnership.” The tweet was accompanied by two images sourced from ECS Fin’s official materials, outlining their technical framework and partnerships, with Ripple explicitly listed among supported payment technologies. RIPPLE IS POSITIONED FOR FEDWIRE INTEROPERABILITY VIA ECS FIN PARTNERSHIP This is documented. pic.twitter.com/xMGr7HxVtR — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) June 18, 2025 Documents Show Ripple Support within ECS Fin’s IMS Payments System The first image is a datasheet for ECS Fin’s IMS Payments platform, which provides an end-to-end enterprise payment solution for banks and financial institutions. It supports numerous external channels, including mobile, web, host-to-host, and third-party APIs. The platform complies with various gateways and standards, such as ACH, SWIFT , CHIPS, and ISO 20022. Notably, Ripple and blockchain are listed alongside these protocols, indicating ECS Fin’s readiness to integrate distributed ledger technology solutions. The datasheet further explains that IMS Payments enables banks to digitize payment operations through a built-in microservices architecture. It manages workflows across the entire transaction lifecycle, from pre-payment tasks like validation and compliance to final settlement and reporting. Ripple’s mention in this infrastructure highlights its role as a supported protocol within a system that is already being used by financial institutions preparing for large-scale modernization.

It references its involvement with the Federal Reserve Banks’ initiative to adopt the ISO 20022 messaging standard for Fedwire. ECS Fin is described as a software provider working directly with the Federal Reserve to support this transition, offering solutions and dedicated connections for FedWire, FedACH, and FedNow. This positioning underscores ECS Fin’s integral role in helping financial institutions modernize payment operations in line with U.S. central banking infrastructure. The inclusion of Ripple as a supported protocol in ECS Fin’s platform suggests that Ripple is, by extension, positioned for potential interoperability with Fedwire once institutions begin leveraging ECS Fin’s systems in full compliance with ISO 20022. Public Reactions Reflect Frustration with Price-Utility Disconnect Responding to SMQKE’s post, an X user named TcfRTB expressed appreciation for the research but also voiced concern over XRP’s market performance. He commented , “Your work is so appreciated. I do not post much but with all of this positive information on xrp… how in the world is the price at 2 dollars…. that is what I’m struggelling with….” The images shared by SMQKE show that Ripple is a documented component of ECS Fin’s IMS Payments platform, which is actively engaged with the Federal Reserve’s Fedwire modernization. While there is no direct statement that Ripple is being used within the Federal Reserve’s systems, its presence in ECS Fin’s ecosystem—which is ISO 20022-compliant and connected to U.S. payment rails—demonstrates technical readiness for future interoperability.
