The Bank for International Settlements announced that a new crypto standard will take effect on January 1st, 2026. Ripple has become the first institutional member backing this new ISO standard for cross-border payments, built on distributed ledger technology (DLT). The move marks a significant milestone for crypto legitimacy—the BIS explicitly referenced a 'crypto standard,' which directly counters earlier skepticism from critics who dismissed cryptocurrency as incompatible with international financial frameworks. This development suggests major shifts ahead for how digital assets integrate into traditional payment infrastructure.

I'll wait a bit longer to see if this BIS action can really change the game rules.

It was about time someone did this. Bank-level recognition is here, and XRP is now in the right position.

Oh no, the BIS has taken action. This round, Ripple can be considered to have regained its confidence. The previous group of skeptics are now in an awkward position.
Based on my analysis, 2026 might be a watershed moment. By then, on-chain data will tell us everything.
However, to be honest, standard adoption and real-world application are still miles apart. Let's keep an eye on wallet flows.
Interestingly, Ripple took the lead in taking sides. The big players behind the scenes should be quietly accumulating at this point. Pure personal speculation for entertainment.
Wait, if this really unfolds, won't the traditional financial system need a reshuffle? Just a risk reminder.

Oh my god, BIS has even stepped in? Now those who are bearish on crypto can shut up, right?
