Ripple’s just concluded survey has it that the border payments are expected to reach $250 trillion by 2027. This parabolic climb indicates cryptocurrencies’ increasing acceptance in the financial sector.

 A survey report captured on Ripple’s official Twitter handle showed that over 65% of the United States population is anticipated to use mobile banking services by 2025.  The Asian continent has also seen a significant rise in the use of online banking. The region has been named a prominent player in the digital financial sector, with one billion users predicted by 2024.

While speaking on the topic, Times Tabloid’s cryptocurrency analyst Adedoyin Aka said, “It is not surprising that more people are using digital assets for cross-border payments because they provide faster, less expensive, and more secure cross-border transactions than traditional banking systems.”
