World Bank Classifies XRP as Stablecoin for Cross-Border Payments !!!

Notably, the classification came in a November 2021 research paper titled “Central Bank Digital Currencies for Cross-Border Payments.”

The report considered the endeavors undertaken at the time to streamline cross-border payments for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

It recognized stablecoins as a digital currency category that provides instantaneous processing and secure payments. In particular, the report laid emphasis on their stability concerning parity with fiat currencies.

Based on this premise, the World Bank identified two virtual assets that they believe fall into the stablecoin category: Ripple’s cross-border payment currency, XRP, and the native asset of the Stellar network, XLM.

The World Bank report also emphasized that XRP and XLM enable faster and more efficient cross-border payments than traditional correspondent banking methods.
