Ripple Strikes Swiss Banking Deal: Europe Becomes the Next Battleground in the Stablecoin Wars
Ripple just flipped the chessboard in the stablecoin showdown—landing a Swiss banking partnership that cracks open Europe's financial corridors. Forget regulatory roadblocks; this is a direct assault on the Euro-centric payment fortress.

Meanwhile, legacy banks are stuck playing catch-up. 'Partnership' sounds polite, but let's be real—this is a liquidity heist. As one Zurich banker muttered: 'They didn’t disrupt the system. They just bought the vault.'
