This is the first public revelation of a 'permissioned domains' system that would allow central control over cryptocurrency transactions within banking networks. Unlike previous crypto-banking integrations that simply avoided public networks, this creates a hybrid system where institutions can use blockchain technology while maintaining complete transaction control - a crucial technical bridge for implementing a controlled digital currency system.
Ripple's 300+ Bank Network Reveals Digital Currency Control Grid
📰 What Happened
Ripple CTO David Schwartz addressed why their 300+ bank partnerships haven't translated to significant XRP Ledger activity. In a July 30 X post response to investor Andrei Jikh, Schwartz revealed that regulatory compliance prevents institutions from using public DEX liquidity due to counterparty risks. He announced a forthcoming 'permissioned domains' feature to enable controlled institutional cryptocurrency flows while preventing transactions with illicit actors.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The announced 'permissioned domains' technology represents a critical advancement toward prophecied economic control systems. By enabling 300+ banks to utilize blockchain while maintaining transaction oversight, Ripple is building infrastructure that could support the mark of the beast system. Three key elements align with prophecy: 1) The scale of 300+ banks creates global reach, 2) The ability to block 'terrorist' transactions demonstrates granular control over who can trade, 3) The hybrid public-private architecture provides the technical framework for a centrally-controlled digital currency that could restrict buying and selling.
