mBridge technology facilitates cross-border payments between central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). It is developed by several central banks, with the support of the Bank for International Settlements, and uses blockchain for transparency and security. This government project focuses on interoperability and regulatory compliance.

Ripple, with its cryptocurrency XRP, targets fast and low-cost international payments for private financial institutions. Its RippleNet network allows for easy integration with existing banking systems, emphasizing speed of transactions and low fees.

Although Ripple's mBridge and XRP approach cross-border payments differently, they are more complementary than competitors. mBridge provides secure infrastructure for CBDCs, while Ripple facilitates interactions between these CBDCs and the private sector, improving the efficiency of international payments.
