The global financial system processes about quadrillions each year, a scale few investors truly grasp. Much of that flow moves through the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which still operates on settlement rails built decades ago. The need for improvement has led to interest in the architecture of Ripple’s ecosystem, and the math behind XRP’s price potential places it far above levels that most retail investors can think of.
