A long‑time SWIFT executive known for his public skepticism of Ripple and XRP has announced his resignation, marking a symbolic shift as the traditional finance messaging giant grapples with the rise of blockchain‑based alternatives.

The real impact, if any, will be measured in institutional adoption, not token price. #XRP #Ripple #SWIFT #CryptoNews #crypto #defi #web3 #Payments #Institutional
