$XRP BRICS countries rely on Ripple: Revolution of digital currencies through XRP Ledger

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has confirmed that it will use the XRP Ledger (XRPL) from Ripple Labs for its digital rupee. This step is more than just a technological innovation – it is a significant move for the global dominance of the BRICS countries in the field of digital currencies. The integration of the XRPL demonstrates how India and other BRICS members are leveraging blockchain technology for more efficient, faster, and safer financial transactions.

Digital Rupee: India's CBDC relies on Ripple

The digital rupee was introduced in 2020 as a tokenized, digital version of the Indian rupee, issued by the RBI. The goal is to revolutionize both wholesale transactions between financial institutions and retail for consumers and businesses. Utilizing the XRPL allows the digital rupee to process up to 1,500 transactions per second, ensuring maximum integrity through robust security mechanisms and the transparency of blockchain technology.

Through blockchain integration, India significantly reduces the costs of cross-border payments – a crucial advantage for an economy that relies heavily on international remittances. The technology also promotes financial inclusion by reaching remote areas and efficiently meeting regulatory requirements.

BRICS: The next digital currency superpower?

The RBI's decision indicates a larger strategy of the BRICS countries. Russia, China, South Africa, and Brazil – the other members of the BRICS group – are also actively exploring blockchain technologies for their digital central bank currencies (CBDCs). With Ripple as a partner, it is clear that the BRICS countries could be relying on a shared technological foundation to strengthen international trade among themselves and increase their independence from the western-dominated SWIFT system.

Already today, countries like Russia, Japan, Colombia, and Bhutan are using the XRPL to create efficient CBDC solutions. A common system of the BRICS countries based on Ripple technology could usher in a new era for the global financial system.

Ripple: Innovation on a global scale

Ripple has established itself as a leading provider of blockchain solutions worldwide. With the launch of its own CBDC platform, the company supports governments and central banks in creating and managing their digital currencies. In India, Ripple has been working with banks like Kotak Mahindra Bank since 2018 to revolutionize payment transactions.

A glimpse into the future

With the rapid development of digital currencies and Ripple as a technology partner, the BRICS countries face a promising future. The digital rupee already shows potential for faster, safer, and cheaper financial transactions – a model that could inspire other countries.
