The conversation around blockchain’s role in global finance is growing, and officials in the U.S. government are beginning to see the potential of this revolutionary technology.
Levi Rietveld, creator of Crypto Crusaders, recently shared a video in which Michael Faulkender, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, spoke about blockchain technology.
Faulkender emphasized blockchain’s efficiency and impact on global payments, and his comments immediately caught the attention of the XRP community, as XRP fits that role perfectly.
Faulkender’s Vision for Faster, Cheaper Payments
Faulkender discussed the transformative potential of distributed ledger technology. He highlighted the advantages of blockchain for cross-border payments, stating that settlements could occur in “minutes, if not seconds,” and emphasizing improved privacy, enhanced security, and significantly lower transaction costs.
According to Faulkender, the implications extend far beyond mere technical upgrades. He pointed out that if this technology redefines how international payments are invoiced and settled, “there should be a flocking to this technology.” He also suggested that increased use of stablecoins for global trade could result in greater demand for the assets that back them, such as U.S. Treasury securities.

Trillions in Demand and XRP’s Role
These statements quickly resonated with XRP proponents. Faulkender’s comments can be seen as a bullish signal for XRP because if the blockchain becomes the foundation of international settlements, XRP could absorb a significant share of the resulting liquidity flows.
Faulkender’s projection of trillions in potential demand for treasuries driven by stablecoin-denominated trade also supports the case for XRP, as RLUSD can play the stablecoin role, and XRP is already positioned as a bridge asset.

XRP Ledger’s Alignment with Global Payment Needs
While Faulkender does not specifically mention XRP, his focus on distributed ledgers, stablecoins, and reduced friction in payment rails aligns closely with the use cases Ripple has promoted for XRP. The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has been framed by advocates as a viable backbone for international financial infrastructure, potentially replacing legacy systems, such as SWIFT.
The XRP community has long argued that traditional finance is approaching a tipping point where decentralized and more efficient alternatives will replace slow, opaque, and expensive systems.
These comments validate years of speculation that, when used effectively, blockchain technology could rewire the mechanics of international commerce.
Once the global market realizes XRP’s advantages over existing systems, it will drive capital into the ecosystem, and Faulkender’s remarks confirm that policymakers are beginning to acknowledge the importance of blockchain technology.
