Pantera Capital CEO Declares Ripple Is Taking On SWIFT in CNBC Interview

Ripple's global payments revolution just got a heavyweight endorsement.

Pantera Capital's CEO went on CNBC and dropped a bombshell: Ripple isn't just playing in the payments space—it's gunning straight for SWIFT's throne. The legacy financial network that moves trillions? Yeah, that's the target.

Why This Matters Now

Traditional cross-border payments drag through multiple banks, currencies, and days of settlement. Ripple's tech slashes that timeline to seconds while cutting out intermediary fees—the kind of efficiency that makes legacy finance look like it's still using fax machines.

The Institutional Shift

Big money isn't just watching anymore. With Pantera's public backing, this isn't crypto hype—it's a calculated bet on infrastructure disruption. Banks and corps already testing Ripple aren't doing it for the tech demo; they want cheaper, faster, auditable rails.

But Let's Be Real

SWIFT isn't folding its tent tomorrow. Regulatory hurdles and bank inertia mean this is a marathon, not a sprint. Still, when a $1.1 billion fund manager calls out a takeover, it’s worth listening—even if Wall Street still thinks 'blockchain' is a portfolio diversification buzzword.

Disruption doesn't ask for permission. It just builds a faster network.
