Ripple Community Speculates on China-Russia-India’s Plan to Set up SWIFT Rival – Will XRP Be Involved?

As reported by Russia Today (RT), three major players, China, Russia and India, intend to avoid using the SWIFT system of funds transferring and create their own network for fast payments by connecting the already existing systems of electronic payments.

Some members of the Ripple community hope that the new payment system used between three biggest countries is going to utilize XRP for liquidity.

China teams up with Russia and India to ditch SWIFT

RT’s report has it that the Russian-based system of payments, SPFS, is going to connect with the Chinese system of payments CIPS. India has not launched a similar project yet, however, local engineers are working to build it. Meanwhile, India intends to connect to the Russian-based transnational payments system.

Back in 2014, Russia started working on its SPFS payment system when the US said it might cut off the country from using SWIFT. The first trials of the new platform took place two years ago.
