<p>According to a recent <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-financial-institutions-2030-ripple" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> published by Ripple, the digital payment network, in collaboration with the United States Faster Payments Council (FPC), blockchain could save financial institutions around $10 billion in cross-border payment costs by 2030.</p> 
<p>The study surveyed 300 financial professionals in 45 countries, covering various sectors such as fintech, banking, media, consumer technology and retail. Of these participants, 97% remain convinced that blockchain will play a key role in facilitating payment systems over the next three years.</p> 
<p>What’s more, almost half of the participants stressed that crypto’s main strength lies in its ability to reduce payment costs, both nationally and internationally.</p> 
<p><em>“In the survey, over 50% of respondents believe that lower payment costs — both domestically and internationally — is crypto’s primary benefit,”</em> the report notes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the rise of e-commerce and a focus on international markets, cross-border payments are set to grow significantly between now and 2030. According to the <a href="https://ripple.com/reports/Blockchain_and_Crypto_in_Payments.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a>, global international payment flows are expected to reach $156,000 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 5%.</p> 
<p>However, despite general optimism about the future role of digital currencies, survey participants had mixed views on when a majority of merchants would adopt crypto payments.</p> 
<p>Around 50% of those surveyed expect most merchants to accept these payments within the next three years. In contrast, the Middle East and Africa show greater confidence in adoption as early as next year.</p>

<p>Ripple’s report comes at a time of growing interest in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). According to recent research by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), up to 24 MNBCs could be in circulation within the next six years.</p>
