Eroding U.S. Sanctions Power Drives Case for Neutral Payment Rails

On-chain stablecoin volume could reach $33 trillion this year. This projection comes as U.S. sanctions tools lose effectiveness because jurisdictions are gaining the ability to move value outside U.S.-aligned banking channels. The shift is driven by a weakening of the alliances and SWIFT-based sanctions the U.S. relies on to move value across borders. As these political levers stop working, neutral, programmable assets and rails become strategically important. The XRP Ledger connects tokenized currencies and real-world assets, with XRP acting as a neutral bridge asset between them.
