Pantera Capital CEO Admits Ripple (XRP) Is Going After SWIFT

Pantera Capital founder and CEO, Dan Morehead, has given XRP supporters another reference point for Ripple’s ambitions in the global payments sector.

Morehead Connects Ripple With SWIFT

The CNBC segment examined blockchain development and the potential for newer networks to offer different capabilities from established cryptocurrencies.

Morehead discussed Solana’s transaction capacity. He said Solana could process up to 9 billion transactions per day, more than all capital markets activity combined.

The conversation then moved toward other potential applications for blockchain technology. Morehead pointed to Ripple when he discussed networks pursuing specific financial use cases.

“There might be other use cases, you know, like Ripple’s going after SWIFT,” Morehead said.

He then described Bitcoin as “digital gold” and identified several major use cases across the cryptocurrency industry. Morehead also emphasized Solana’s performance as a blockchain, describing the network as highly capable in terms of transaction processing.

Amelie focused on Ripple and SWIFT when she shared the video. She wrote, “Even CNBC admits that Ripple is going after SWIFT.” She followed the statement with a direct XRP prediction, writing, “XRP is a done deal”

XRP Supporters Recall Ripple’s Earlier Challenges

Ripple’s Payments Strategy Remains Central

Morehead’s comments do not establish that Ripple will replace SWIFT, but they show that he views Ripple’s pursuit of the global payments sector as a distinct blockchain use case.

Amelie interpreted the CNBC remark as further confirmation of her conviction in XRP. Her post links Ripple’s payments ambitions with XRP and presents the development as part of a broader case for the asset’s long-term relevance.

The distinction between Ripple and XRP remains important, however. Morehead specifically discussed Ripple’s efforts in the payments sector, while Amelie linked those efforts to XRP in her post. That connection remains a key part of the discussion around XRP as investors assess Ripple’s expanding role in financial infrastructure.
