Schwartz is <span>Ripple<\/span>\u2019s CTO Emeritus and one of the original architects of the <span>XRP<\/span> Ledger (XRPL). The segment opens with the question: \u201cHow is <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s utility expanding?\u201d His answer centers on tokenized assets, enterprise adoption, and financial services built on XRPL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c <span>Bitcoin<\/span> got things started by providing a public <span>blockchain<\/span> that allowed people to hold and transfer <span>Bitcoin<\/span>,\u201d Schwartz explained. He emphasized that the breakthrough showed people could own and move digital value on open infrastructure. The <span>XRP<\/span> Ledger then expanded that model by supporting native digital assets and issued assets.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe <span>XRP<\/span> Ledger followed soon after, providing both the native digital assets similar to <span>bitcoin<\/span>, as well as issued assets that can represent things like <span>stablecoins<\/span> or tokenized assets of any kind.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That distinction drives Schwartz\u2019s utility argument. The <span>XRP<\/span> Ledger is not limited to sending <span>XRP<\/span> between users. It can also support assets that represent dollars, funds, securities, stocks, or other forms of value. That gives XRPL a broader financial role because it can combine asset issuance, transfer, and settlement on one network.<\/p>\n<h2>Tokenized Assets Could Push <span>XRP<\/span> Utility Into Financial Markets<\/h2>\n<p>Schwartz continued: \u201cToday, Enterprises are using the <span>XRP<\/span> Ledger to provide tokenized real-world assets [ <span>RWAs<\/span>], and in the near future, they\u2019ll be offering everything from tokenized securities to money market funds, even things like tokenized stocks.\u201d The statement moves the discussion beyond payments. Tokenized assets could bring familiar financial products onto <span>blockchain<\/span> rails, where they may become easier to issue, transfer, and settle.<\/p>\n<p>The next phase would move <span>XRP<\/span> Ledger further into credit markets. \u201cAnd coming soon,\u201d Schwartz noted, \u201cWe\u2019ll see features like tokenized repos and tokenized loans.\u201d Repos are short-term financing tools used across traditional markets. Tokenized loans would extend XRPL\u2019s role into borrowing, collateral, and repayment activity. Together, those products point to utility built around financial infrastructure, not speculation alone.<\/p>\n<p>The <span>Ripple<\/span> CTO Emeritus said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEnterprises will provide the features that will attract Mass retail adoption, where <span>DeFi<\/span> can truly deliver on its promise of replacing TradFi and providing the financial Services that everyone needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>His view puts enterprises at the center of retail adoption. Consumers may not adopt <span>decentralized finance<\/span> ( <span>DeFi<\/span>) because it uses <span>blockchain<\/span> terminology. They may adopt it when tokenized funds, loans, repos, and stocks feel simple, liquid, compliant, and useful. For Schwartz, <span>XRP<\/span> utility expands when XRPL supports recognizable financial services that people and institutions already understand.<\/p>\n<p>The same utility theme has also appeared outside <span>Ripple<\/span>\u2019s own messaging. Anodos Finance CEO Panos Mekras recently said his company has <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-north-star-thesis-gains-momentum-beyond-ripple\/\">bought, held, and paid<\/a> its team with <span>XRP<\/span> since 2023. That example connects directly with Schwartz\u2019s point about practical financial use. It shows how businesses may treat <span>XRP<\/span> as working <span>liquidity<\/span> for treasury activity, payments, and operations, not only as a traded asset.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz\u2019s comments also reflect <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s longer arc after <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/xrp-turns-14-ripple-ceo-calls-it-the-honor-of-a-lifetime-to-be-part-of-the-xrp-family\/\">14 years<\/a> in the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ripple<\/a> CEO Brad Garlinghouse called it \u201cthe honor of a lifetime\u201d to be part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> family, while Schwartz described <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a>\u2019s origins as an effort to build a better way to move value.
