Crypto commentator John Squire (@TheCryptoSquire) posted a message that focused on timing, positioning, and what he believes is a major shift happening around XRP. He wrote, “THE SHIFT HAS BEGUN,” and told followers to “Stay ready… this next move could change everything.”

His post included a video chart by Time Traveler showing XRP rising to $73,000, alongside an article headline stating “Ripple Threatens SWIFT After Launch of Global Payments Using XRP!” The message centered on XRP’s ability to gain value if it becomes infrastructure for global payments.

This idea depends on one major factor. SWIFT currently connects more than 11,000 banks worldwide. Any system that integrates with or replaces part of that network gains access to one of the largest financial communication systems in the world.

The SWIFT Challenge

SWIFT does not move money. It sends payment instructions between banks. Settlement can take days. Fees increase with each intermediary bank involved. This structure creates delays and higher costs, especially for cross-border transfers.

Ripple built its payment system to solve this exact problem. XRP acts as a bridge asset, allowing banks to convert one currency into XRP, send it across the network, then convert it into another currency in seconds. This process removes the need for multiple intermediary banks. It reduces settlement time and lowers costs.

XRP and Global Bank Connectivity

Ripple has spent years building relationships with financial institutions. Its payment network connects banks, payment providers, and financial companies. If a bank network with the size of SWIFT integrates this type of liquidity system, transaction volume moving through XRP could increase significantly.

SWIFT already has the global network, and XRP is the perfect settlement layer. If these systems connect, XRP could function as a neutral bridge asset between currencies. This gives XRP an important role in global liquidity. Global cross-border payments move trillions of dollars each year. Even a small share of that volume moving through XRP would increase demand for the asset, potentially driving up its price.

The $73,000 Target for XRP

Prominent community figures like Time Traveler have consistently predicted that XRP can rise to $73,000. If XRP becomes a bridge asset used by banks for international settlement, price growth would likely follow usage growth. The asset would be used as infrastructure, not just a traded cryptocurrency.

Large financial transfers require deep liquidity pools. A higher asset price allows large transactions to move with less slippage. This makes the system more efficient for institutions moving millions or billions of dollars, and makes this high target a realistic level.
