New HSBC Leak: SWIFT Already Using XRP

Recent developments suggest that XRP is becoming a central part of global financial infrastructure. Crypto analyst BullRunners (@BullRunnersHQ) reported that Ripple’s technology is now integrated into SWIFT’s evolving payment system, signaling a major move toward institutional adoption and practical use.

Ripple and SWIFT Collaboration

BullRunners explained, “Ripple’s footprint is now baked directly into this new payment stack.” SWIFT, historically the dominant intermediary in cross-border payments, is modernizing its network to incorporate blockchain.

HSBC, which has partnered with Ripple through the Medeco Harmonized Platform acquired in 2023, is now a managing partner in SWIFT’s multi-chain blockchain ledger. According to BullRunners, XRP was likely tested on SWIFT rails in Q4 of 2025, further embedding it within large-scale banking operations.

Institutional Adoption and Security

The integration of XRP into SWIFT’s network could accelerate adoption by major banks. JP Morgan is reportedly participating in the making of SWIFT’s blockchain ledger. BullRunners highlighted that this setup is built for institutional compliance. The XRPL permissioned DEX amendment, which recently passed, provides KYC and AML controls, enabling banks to operate securely.

BullRunners noted, “Although this might not feel truly decentralized… at the end of the day, this is what institutions demand before they integrate and operate.”

Regulatory Momentum and Market Opportunity

Regulatory clarity is enhancing XRP’s position. BullRunners cited Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, stating there is a “90% certainty” that the Clarity Act, a landmark crypto legislation, will pass by April. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has also indicated that regulators should focus on providing clear frameworks rather than reacting to daily market swings.

These developments create a more predictable environment for XRP’s integration into mainstream finance. BullRunners emphasized the scale of the opportunity. He referenced Brian Armstrong, Coinbase CEO, noting that the addressable market for crypto spans multiple trillions of dollars, covering payments, lending, and institutional financial services. XRP’s integration into SWIFT and partnerships with major banks position it to capture significant revenue and adoption.

What to Expect from XRP

While broader crypto markets have faced consistent pressure, XRP’s institutional positioning suggests resilience. BullRunners highlighted that major financial players choosing XRP over other assets could drive substantial price growth.

The combination of SWIFT integration, HSBC involvement, and the permissioned DEX amendment indicates that XRP is moving beyond speculation into practical, on-chain utility for banks and regulated institutions.

The integration of Ripple’s blockchain with SWIFT, combined with institutional backing and regulatory clarity, points to a new phase for XRP.
