Ripple’s $200M Rail Buyout Seizes 10% of Global Stablecoin Payments—Game Changer or Power Grab?
Ripple’s $200M Rail Buyout Seizes 10% of Global Stablecoin Payments—Game Changer or Power Grab?

Ripple just bulldozed its way into the stablecoin big leagues—snagging payments infrastructure firm Rail for a cool $200 million. The move hands the XRP issuer instant control over 10% of worldwide stablecoin payment flow. Talk about buying a seat at the table.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just another corporate acquisition—it’s a direct assault on the SWIFT-dominated cross-border payments arena. Ripple’s now positioned to route dollar-pegged transactions faster than traditional banks can process a wire transfer fee.
The Cynical Take
Because nothing screams 'decentralized finance' like a nine-figure infrastructure shopping spree. TradFi players won’t lose sleep—yet—but those stablecoin volumes just got a lot more interesting.
