Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that Ripple's expanded ecosystem processed about $16 trillion in transactions last year, comparable to Visa's transaction volume. This total comes mainly from Ripple Prime and Ripple Treasury, which handle traditional payment flows. Currently, only 0.1% of this volume settles on-chain via digital assets like XRP and stablecoins, but even small increases in on-chain settlement could add hundreds of billions in blockchain transactions. Ripple aims to grow both total transaction volume and the share settled on blockchain, focusing on practical utility for financial institutions rather than speculation.
