He recently <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/joelkatz\/status\/1955741546609041920\">spoke about<\/a> the wave of payment and stablecoin companies creating their own blockchains.<\/p>\n<p>For him, this is proof that the industry now sees blockchain as a vital part of the financial system. Ripple has been building toward that goal for more than thirteen years with the XRP Ledger.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019ve been seeing more and more players in the payments and stablecoins space launch their own blockchains. To me, that\u2019s a clear sign the market sees blockchain as core financial infrastructure \u2014 something we\u2019ve believed in and have been building toward on the XRP Ledger for\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David &#8216;JoelKatz&#8217; Schwartz (@JoelKatz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoelKatz\/status\/1955741546609041920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 13, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Schwartz explained that launching a blockchain is already difficult, but building an active, trusted ecosystem is much harder. It requires developers, liquidity, trust, and real-world adoption. The XRP Ledger, he said, has achieved that because it has been tested over time, upgraded regularly, and earned the confidence of institutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tronweekly.com\/ripple-wormhole-partner-to-unlock-multichain\/\">Ripple &#038; Wormhole Partner To Unlock Multichain Access For 6M+ XRPL Users<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Balancing Openness With Practical Use<\/h2>\n<p>Schwartz also touched on the ongoing debate regarding decentralization. Some blockchains have permissioned validator sets controlled by one company or a small collection of companies. That strategy allows for ease of compliance and control in closed environments but limits reach and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>The XRPL is permissionless and open in its fundamentals, but has optional permissioned instruments in place for those occasions where regulation is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>This combination provides the flexibility to adapt without remaining inaccessible to anyone. Its architecture enables connecting people, markets, and assets beyond borders and bridging various financial systems together.<\/p>\n<h2>XRPL\u2019s Low-Cost Transactions Drive Adoption<\/h2>\n<p>One of the XRPL\u2019s biggest strengths is its cost efficiency. Transactions cost just fractions of a cent and don\u2019t require a separate gas token. Payments can be made directly in XRP, which acts as a bridge asset for settlements and liquidity. Every transaction burns a tiny amount of XRP, reinforcing its role in the network.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz noted that newer blockchains are already making use of principles already deployed in the XRPL for a few years, including deterministic finality and Proof of Authority-style consensus.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the direction the industry is going is, into quicker and more predictable forms of settlement without costly validation.<\/p>\n<p>When looking ahead, Schwartz\u2019s plans for XRPL are to increase the level of programmability, include features that are compliance-friendly, and create stronger liquidity for institutions.<\/p>\n<p>His final statement was that the crypto space continues to develop and has opportunities for new entrants to come in and participate in the broader space of digital finances.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tronweekly.com\/xrpl-major-upgrade-ripples-8-transaction-batch\/\">XRPL Gets Major Upgrade: Ripple\u2019s 8-Transaction Batch Feature Clears Testing<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/391f5fc66ef0942cc1035faa5389c4a9be9e7567c61ae8330f6191fea0079a9a?s=70&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/391f5fc66ef0942cc1035faa5389c4a9be9e7567c61ae8330f6191fea0079a9a?s=140&#038;d=mm&#038;r=g 2x\" height=\"70\" width=\"70\" decoding=\"async\"><\/p>\n<h4>About <span itemprop=\"name\">Mishal Ali<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Mishal Ali is a senior writer at TronWeekly, covering on-chain trends, market moves, and Web3 innovation.
