United Nations’ Bullish Confirmation about Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM)
A United Nations Capital Development Fund webinar has outlined a vision for a new international payments system, and Ripple and Stellar sit at its core. Crypto researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) brought the clip to wider attention, noting that both networks are “directly mentioned and clearly shown in the international payments diagram as central parts of the global payments network.” The presentation describes an open, regulated payment inter-network designed to connect every major financial network on the planet. It places XRP alongside SWIFT , Visa, and Mastercard as equal participants in this global infrastructure. United Nations XRP + XLM https://t.co/qILJpZUGAd — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) May 22, 2026 What the U.N. Report Shows The presenter described the system as a connective layer over what already exists. “It’s not a new system, but it connects existing systems,” the speaker said. The goal is to build a system in which a payment initiated on any network should reach any other network, regardless of which platform processes it. Ripple and Stellar were named directly alongside traditional financial giants. It’s not as alternatives, but as equal participants in the same infrastructure. Three Phases of Development The webinar outlined three phases for building this inter-network. The first is account addressing, described as “a global directory” that allows users to send payments using a simple identifier rather than complex account numbers. Phase two introduces tokenized compliance, where a signed token issued by trusted compliance providers reduces the cost of meeting regulatory requirements. Phase three targets real-time or near real-time settlement of cross-border funds using distributed ledger technology or CBDCs. XRP has already made strides in this field. Ripple recently collaborated with Ondo Finance, Mastercard, and J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys to complete the first near-real-time, cross-border redemption of a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund. The XRP Ledger processed the asset leg of the transaction in under five seconds, outside traditional banking windows, establishing a working framework for 24/7 global settlement. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Each phase builds on the last. Account addressing makes payments easier to route. Tokenized compliance makes them cheaper to clear. Instant settlement makes them faster to finalize. XRP’s speed and settlement efficiency position it well for the third phase. Why XRP Stands Out Ripple has spent years building infrastructure for cross-border payments. XRP settles transactions in 3 to 5 seconds at a fraction of a cent. The UN’s inter-network prioritizes real-time settlement as its third phase, which aligns directly with what Ripple already does at scale. SMQKE highlighted that the webinar describes payments “to anyone, anywhere, on any network.” Ripple and Stellar are not just being evaluated for inclusion in this architecture. They are already in the roadmaps for the next phase of global finance. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.

AboutStellar is an open-source, decentralized network co-founded in 2014 by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim to facilitate the fast and low-cost transfer of value across different currencies and assets globally. Managed by the non-profit Stellar Development Foundation, the project serves as a global infrastructure that connects banks, payment systems, and individuals to expand financial access to underserved populations. Its main value proposition lies in providing a bridge between traditional money and digital networks through the use of Anchors, which are trusted entities that hold deposits and issue credits on the ledger. The network operates using the Stellar Consensus Protocol and a Federated Byzantine Agreement, where nodes choose trusted sets of other nodes to agree on the state of the ledger. This system ensures high throughput and fast finality, where transactions are considered permanent and irreversible within seconds. Key features include a built-in distributed exchange for trading assets without intermediaries and the Soroban platform for developing smart contracts. Users can also utilize the network for tokenizing real-world assets or accessing decentralized finance services like peer-to-peer lending. Stellar's native token, XLM, is essential for maintaining network integrity by acting as an intermediary to find efficient exchange paths and preventing spam through small transaction fees and minimum account balance requirements. Unlike many other digital assets, the network has no inflation because the community voted to disable the automatic creation of new tokens. While the project received early funding from the payments company Stripe, it is now sustained by a global community of validators and developers rather than traditional venture capital.
