XRP's FedNow Connection Sparks Hype Amid Volante-Ripple Link
XRP has sparked excitement in the community after claims emerged that it could be used alongside the Federal Reserve's FedNow infrastructure through Volante Technologies.
The connection is not as straightforward as some might think, however. Volante is a payment technology provider that enables financial institutions to connect to multiple payment rails, including FedNow and RTP.
Volante has a longstanding relationship with Ripple, dating back to 2015 when it announced that its VolPay platform could connect financial institutions to Ripple's payment network.
This has led some commentators, such as Whale Insider and Pumpius, to suggest that XRP could become one of several settlement or liquidity options available through the same banking infrastructure used to access FedNow.
