Isn't this and upgrade of GPI to compete better against Xcurrent than XRapid?  I would guess it is unlikely to be as good as XCurrent which has been tested and upgraded several times and it now well established as secure, fast and accurate. 

"We will enable gpi payments to be initiated within trade workflows, automatically passing them on to the banking system"

passing them on to the banking system -  which is on the R3 platform which includes XRapid settlement service

Surely this is SWIFT following Ripple innovation and integrating with Ripple/XRP?

R3 and Corda settler doesn't actually have X-rapid. R3's corda option actually settles in pure XRP. We were wondering why it wasn't using x-rapid when it first came out.

R3 also now has a POC project with SWIFT which settled using correspondent banks on pure fiat rails which is what I'm guessing this is.

I read that it is down to a few days now. I'm pretty sure it has to do with XCurrent 4.0. I can't remember exactly where I read that but I think it was Garlinghouse who said it. Could be wrong. If I can find it I'll paste it. 

I heard it at the end of The Ripple Drop Episode 13, from Craig DeWitt

Oh brother. Is this already turning into another, "They must be partnering with Ripple because Im invested in XRP and thats the only thing that makes sense to me?"

:D

Yeah, its basically this. If you read the paper they included, its basically an extension of the PoC project that they have been doing with R3 since the start of the year.

I've basically learned from the last year and a half that if the paper or article does not mention XRP use specifically, then X company is not using XRP. There have been way too many false flags the last year.

I don't understand how people are interpreting this otherwise.

The paper is about the PoC project with R3, which both R3 and SWIFT have said does not involve digital assets. You guys do realize that when SWIFT partnered with Corda on their PoC project, Corda gained the ability to settle via fiat over the correspondent banking system right?

Do you think this is Corda but with XRP settlement disabled?

Doesn't RippleNet also offer the option of fiat?

Yes, Corda plugs into SWIFT GPI to allow settlement via SWIFT's system. More details about the process can be found here:

https://www.swift.com/news-events/news/swift-to-bring-benefits-of-gpi-to-dlt-and-trade-ecosystems

Specifically the combination with R3 will:

- authorise payments from their banks via gpi Link;

- settle gpi payments through their bank; and

- receive credit confirmations on the respective trade platforms via gpi Link on completion.

 

It goes directly via the banking system and not through bridge assets.

So gpi/fiat is another settlement option for Corda. But if SWIFT is pushing Corda adoption isn't that good for XRP, because XRP is already a settlement option for Corda?
