Ripple CTO Emeritus Discusses Potential XRP Price Benefits From XRPL Success
David Schwartz, Ripple's CTO emeritus, stated that growing adoption of the XRP Ledger could lead to increased demand and higher prices for XRP. Schwartz addressed debates regarding whether XRPL adoption directly impacts XRP value, calling a scenario where XRPL succeeds without driving XRP demand very unlikely. He noted that XRP is the only native, counterparty-free asset on the network and is required for transaction fees and account reserves. Additionally, Schwartz explained that XRP could capture value by serving as a bridging asset for wrapped versions of Bitcoin on the XRP Ledger.
