Banks Have Poured $100B Into Blockchain Infrastructure Since 2020, Ripple Report Says
A joint report from Ripple and CB Insights reveals that banks have invested over $100 billion into blockchain infrastructure between 2020 and 2024. The study highlights a growing trend among financial institutions toward tokenization, digital asset integration, and strategic partnerships with crypto firms. Ripple notes that investment has accelerated as banks aim to modernize payment systems, improve settlement times, and prepare for the tokenized economy.
