Ripple’s VP for Central Bank Engagements Drops XRP Bombshell That Stuns XRP Army

Crypto enthusiast Paul White Gold Eagle has highlighted comments from James Wallis, Ripple’s Vice President for Central Bank Engagements, regarding the role of the XRP Ledger in central bank digital currency (CBDC) projects.

The crypto enthusiast’s post included a video clip featuring Wallis and claimed that the Ripple executive confirmed central banks will use XRP to settle transactions between parties.

Paul White Gold Eagle’s tweet read, “James Wallis, VP for Central Bank Engagements at Ripple, confirms Central Banks will use XRP to settle money from A to B,” followed by a prediction of “$10,000+ per XRP.”

The claim quickly attracted attention among XRP supporters, particularly because of Wallis’ position within Ripple and the ongoing interest in how central banks may utilize blockchain technology.

Wallis Explains Ripple’s CBDC Infrastructure

In the video attached to the post, Wallis responded to a question about whether Ripple’s digital currency solutions would integrate with existing blockchain systems or operate through a separate platform.

Wallis explained that Ripple’s CBDC technology is built on a private blockchain based on public blockchain technology. According to him, the public blockchain used by Ripple is the XRP Ledger, which he described as a publicly available and open-source blockchain network.

He stated that for each country Ripple works with, the company creates a new private version of the technology. Wallis noted that access to these private blockchains is restricted, meaning only authorized participants can use the network.

According to Wallis, this approach allows central banks to benefit from technology that has already demonstrated reliability and scalability. He emphasized that the XRP Ledger has processed billions of transactions, making it a proven foundation for blockchain-based financial infrastructure.

Private Networks Built on XRP Ledger Technology

During the discussion, Wallis acknowledged that central banks generally prefer greater privacy when managing national financial systems. To address that requirement, Ripple developed private versions of the technology while still leveraging the underlying XRP Ledger’s capabilities.

He described the model as a hybrid approach. It combines the advantages of public blockchain technology with the privacy and control expected by central banks. When asked whether the platform is tailored for each project, Wallis agreed and confirmed that Ripple develops dedicated implementations for individual central bank initiatives.

While Wallis clearly identified the XRP Ledger as the technological foundation for Ripple’s CBDC platform, the video itself focused primarily on the use of private blockchain networks derived from XRP Ledger technology.

Paul White Gold Eagle interpreted those remarks as confirmation that central banks will ultimately use XRP for settlement purposes, a view that continues to resonate with many XRP community members.
