Bank of Russia’s Initiative

The Bank of Russia previously proposed a project on cross-border transfer execution. There was a rumor that this project took the Ripple payment system into account. Given its reputation for speed and economy of transactions, XRP was seen as a great starting point for creating a group cross-border settlements system.

This supports the objective of the BRICS countries to transform their foreign payment systems. The BRICS might improve the effectiveness and lower the expenses of cross-border transactions by using XRP, therefore establishing a more smooth financial network between their members.

Meanwhile, the adoption of the cryptocurrency could cause XRP to appreciate dramatically. Robert Doyle, CEO of Cryptonairz and also known by his stage name Crypto Sensei, believes that if BRICS countries adopt XRP widely, its price may rise to $10,000, in line with what CNF previously disclosed.

The possibility of a price rise this sharp results from the substantial demand that would result from BRICS nations using XRP for their international transactions. This need might spur significant investment and market interest in XRP, which would raise its price.

Current XRP Market Performance

CoinMarketCap data shows that the price of XRP at the moment of writing is at $0.4942, down 0.94% over the previous day. This likewise indicates a bearish stance, with a 4.60% drop within the previous seven days. The possible BRICS adoption could have a big effect on XRP’s market performance, even with the current slump.
