    Additionally, with modern features, blockchain is creating a more efficient and inclusive financial future that meets the requirements of emerging markets. Blockchain has evolved cross-border payments by reducing intermediaries associated with traditional payment rails, enabling faster and cheaper money transfers across borders.

With increased regulatory clarity in new inventions, blockchain is making the integration of digital assets in financial institutions more feasible for institutions’ longevity. 

    Ripple says banks shifting from pilots to practice are vital to the global economy, with blockchain providing the security, clarity, and standards needed.
