Ripple’s (XRP) 2025 Roadmap Starts to Become Clear – Here’s What’s Known

Ripple has outlined its 2025 vision and aims to position itself as a leading digital asset provider for financial institutions globally.

Ripple’s initial mission was focused on developing cross-border payment solutions. The company says its services currently help major banks around the world with secure transactions, global payments, and digital asset custody. According to Ripple, it is developing a “comprehensive tokenization platform” and a mission to create an “internet of value” that will enable seamless asset movement and real-time exchanges.

Ripple says XRPL is at the core of its digital asset strategy, highlighting its design for cost-effective and secure financial transactions. The company has shared plans to launch an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain on XRPL, which it claims will connect to over 50 blockchains. Ripple says this development, along with its multi-purpose token and DEX permissions, will make XRPL “ideal for tokenizing complex assets.”

Following its acquisition of Metaco, Ripple aims to strengthen its custody solutions to meet what it describes as “the security standards of the best banks.” The company reported that Metaco’s current clients include BBVA and HSBC. Ripple plans to expand Metaco’s services with additional security features and blockchain compatibility, offering solutions that support key management, transaction scanning, and regulatory compliance.

Ripple also highlighted its compliance-focused stablecoin RLUSD, which it describes as facilitating trade settlements and liquidity. The company noted that RLUSD will soon be integrated with Ethereum and XRPL and outlined plans to connect with more blockchains. Ripple says it has formed partnerships to promote adoption of the stablecoin and support cross-border trade settlements.

Ripple’s previously launched Payments Direct platform simplifies cross-border transactions in regions like the US, Brazil, and Dubai. The company outlined plans to develop the platform by expanding its on-ramp and off-ramp capabilities to support both fiat and cryptocurrency transactions.

Ripple states that implementation of the roadmap could position the company to play a larger role in the financial sector by 2025.
