Ripple Mentioned in UK Parliament, But Could XRP Play a Role In National Finance?

Recent reports claim the UK Parliament is discussing Ripple and XRP as potential national infrastructure. While Ripple has indeed submitted evidence to UK committees and participated in digital asset policy debates, claims of “official recognition” are overstated.

Parliamentary evidence or mentions are part of standard industry engagement — not formal endorsement. For XRP to be officially recognized as national infrastructure, the UK government or Bank of England would need to make a binding decision. That remains far from reality.

Ripple has been active in UK regulatory discussions. It has provided evidence to the Treasury and DCMS committees and holds registration with the Financial Conduct Authority for money services operations.
