It was considered an excellent basis for developing a cross-border settlement system for the group. It is worth mentioning that XRP is known for its transaction speed and low costs. Therefore, it appears to be a viable system that the bloc is considering to revolutionize its international payments objectives.
This move to adopt cryptocurrency could trigger a huge jump in the price of XRP. CEO and founder of Cryptonairz, Robert Doyle (Crypto Sensei) believes that the price of XRP could reach $10,000 if BRICS countries widely adopt it. There is a general opinion that BRICS member countries have a lot to gain from choosing XRP as an alternative to the United States dollar. The volatile currencies and developing economies of these nations are perceived as challenges that XRP could improve.
Ripple’s growing network of alliances with well-known financial institutions is also considered an advantage that the BRICS nation could leverage.

In an interview, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse spoke about the launch of the XRP ETF. He highlighted that the approval of Ethereum ETFs gives him confidence that XRP could also be approved. Additionally, Ripple President Monica Long has strongly supported an XRP ETF, stating that it would make “a lot of sense” given the current regulatory clarity surrounding XRP and Bitcoin in the US.
