Both mBridge (the Multiple CBDC Bridge) and Ripple’s XRP-based solutions aim to improve cross-border payments, but they operate in fundamentally different ways. Here’s a detailed comparison:
| mBridge | Ripple (XRP) |
|---|---|
| Uses Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) (e.g., digital yuan, e-HKD) | Uses XRP as a bridge currency between fiat currencies |
| Government-backed, regulated digital money | Decentralized cryptocurrency (XRP) |
| Only for wholesale banking (central & commercial banks) | Used by banks & payment providers (e.g., Santander, SBI Remit) |
| mBridge | Ripple (XRP) |
|---|---|
| Runs on a permissioned blockchain (only approved banks can join) | Uses the public XRP Ledger (open but regulated) |
| Controlled by central banks (BIS, PBOC, HKMA, etc.) | Developed by Ripple Labs, a private company |
| Focuses on interoperability between CBDCs | Focuses on fast fiat currency conversions via XRP |
| mBridge | Ripple (XRP) |
|---|---|
| Near-instant multi-currency settlements (~2-3 sec) | 3-5 seconds for XRP-based transactions |
| Low fees (but set by central banks) | Ultra-low fees (~$0.0002 per XRP transaction) |
| Designed for large institutional transfers | Used for retail & corporate remittances |
| mBridge | Ripple (XRP) |
|---|---|
| Pilot phase (testing with central banks) | Live product (used by 100+ financial institutions) |
| Limited to China, UAE, Thailand, Hong Kong | Global reach (Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa) |
| Future expansion likely (more CBDCs joining) | Facing regulatory challenges (SEC lawsuit resolved in 2023) |
No, not directly—they serve different markets:
mBridge = Government-backed CBDC settlements (B2B, wholesale).
Ripple (XRP) = Private-sector cross-border payments (B2B & B2C).
Possible future overlap? If more CBDCs launch, Ripple may integrate them (Ripple already works with some CBDC projects).
For banks & governments → mBridge (CBDCs).
For commercial payments & remittances → Ripple (XRP).
Bitcoin? Not involved in either—it’s a store of value, not a payment bridge.
