The future visibility of XRP within consumer technology may be entering a new phase following a post on X that suggested potential links between Epic’s blockchain development and Apple’s extensive ecosystem.
Crypto influencer Stellar Rippler, posting as @StellarNews007, stated, “XRP just got access to 1.5 BILLION devices ecosystem worldwide with EPIC x APPLE!”
This post rapidly garnered significant interest from the digital asset community, emphasizing the sheer scale of Apple’s global user base and the potential for a connection through Epic to advance XRP’s utility.

XRP Targeting a New Market
While the specifics of any formal collaboration have not been officially confirmed by Ripple, Apple, or Epic, the prospect of integrating XRP into Apple’s infrastructure has been a subject of discussion, particularly in light of Epic’s ongoing development of XRP-native infrastructure.
Epic, a blockchain initiative that builds upon the XRP Ledger, has concentrated its efforts on creating products designed to support digital payments and tokenized assets. Its reported entry into the Apple developer program suggests a strategic move to broaden XRP’s accessibility through the consumer technology already widely used globally.
Ripple’s Past Work with Apple
Ripple has previously collaborated with Apple, notably when Apple introduced its Tap to Pay feature for the iPhone. This integration utilized Ripple’s payment technology to facilitate secure and seamless transactions between users. This prior connection demonstrated Apple’s openness to leveraging blockchain-related solutions to enhance the financial functionality within its devices.
Should Epic be developing XRP-native programs capable of functioning across iOS, Epic’s reported participation in Apple’s developer environment could pave the way for XRP-based payments or features through applications integrated with Apple Pay.
Stellar Rippler predicted that “Apple Pay will support XRP.” Although this is not yet an officially announced feature, the possibility aligns with Apple’s history of adapting to emerging financial technologies and Ripple’s persistent efforts to expand the utility of XRP beyond traditional cryptocurrency exchanges.
Expanding XRP’s Reach Across Financial Channels
Stellar Rippler’s post further suggested that XRP could potentially reach “Apple Pay, X Payments, Merchants, all the way to Repo Markets, Institutions, and the FED.” Each of these environments represents a distinct stratum of the financial system, ranging from retail payments to interbank liquidity and operations at the governmental level.
Ripple has been actively pursuing partnerships in areas such as cross-border settlement and liquidity management. A connection with Apple, facilitated through Epic, could introduce a significant consumer-facing dimension to these efforts, thereby opening up XRP to an estimated 1.5 billion devices worldwide.
If the digital asset were to become usable within Apple Pay or similar systems, it could provide Apple’s substantial user base with a direct conduit to blockchain-based value transfer. Integration into X Payments, the payment feature currently under development for Elon Musk’s X platform, would further amplify XRP’s accessibility within the realm of digital commerce.
