XRP Doesn't Need Every Payment | It Needs the Right Liquidity Layer | Bitso

Ripple and Bitso’s latest move is being framed as another stablecoin headline, but the deeper story is about XRP Ledger liquidity architecture. With MXNB, Ripple’s regulated dollar stablecoin RLUSD, Ripple Payments, and the USD/MXN corridor starting to connect in a more institutional way, the real question is not whether XRP touches every payment. The better question is whether XRP becomes useful when direct stablecoin liquidity is too thin, too expensive, or too fragmented.

This video breaks down how Bitso fits into Ripple’s cross-border payments strategy, why stablecoins do not eliminate the need for liquidity routing, why permissioned liquidity matters for regulated institutions, and where XRP may actually fit inside enterprise payment flows. The strongest XRP thesis is not universal usage. It is conditional liquidity where the XRP Ledger can help route value when the direct path is not good enough.
