A recent video featuring Miguel Vias, former Head of XRP Markets at Ripple, has reignited focus on XRP’s foundational role in transforming international payments. In a discussion shared by prominent crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) on X, Vias explained how the XRP Ledger (XRPL) was purpose-built to handle high-volume financial transactions with unmatched efficiency. Vias emphasized that the XRPL is “very much a payments-focused ledger,” specifically engineered to support the demands of global financial infrastructure. He pointed to the payment channels feature on the ledger, which can handle up to 50,000 transactions per second. He added that, unlike experimental solutions elsewhere in the crypto space, this capability is live and functional today. RIPPLE: XRP IS THE “PERFECT” DIGITAL ASSET TO REVOLUTIONIZE INTERNATIONAL PAYMENTS This is Miguel Vias from Ripple. Listen closely. He even states that the “The ledger can CURRENTLY scale to 50,000 TPS so it’s designed for high volume.” pic.twitter.com/3LGuXifMqp — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) June 25, 2025 The Technology Behind the Vision According to Vias, the technical design of XRP Ledger directly reflects Ripple’s mission to modernize and enhance cross-border payments . He explained that scalability was always a core objective. It allows the ledger to process massive transaction volumes without compromising speed or security. This network is also highly efficient, as Ripple President Monica Long recently noted that the XRPL is 120,000 times more energy efficient than Bitcoin’s network. Vias shared that this robust architecture was a key reason he decided to join Ripple. He described the combination of XRP, Interledger, and Ripple’s solutions as a marriage that made complete sense from a technological standpoint. In his view, these components together form the foundation for a modern international payment system capable of displacing outdated processes .

Ripple Trade functioned as an on-ledger exchange, while RPP facilitated fiat-to-XRP conversions for cross-border payments. While both products were eventually phased out, Vias noted that the core use cases they supported have become essential parts of today’s digital asset ecosystem. He emphasized that XRP and its ledger are still deeply integrated with Ripple’s broader strategy. “It’s clear as day how all of these worlds are merging,” Vias said, showing that XRP remains the optimal asset for facilitating seamless, high-speed global transactions. Vias also addressed a question that often arises within the XRP community regarding whether the XRPL is central to Ripple’s plans. He stated that the ledger is not only part of Ripple’s story but continues to be a vital element of the company’s strategy moving forward.
