Ripple's David Schwartz Admits Developers Erred on Stablecoin Design
- —Schwartz: developers assumed all stablecoins would use the USD code without separate tickers
- —In reality, the market is split between USDT, USDC and RLUSD, and wallets read only text tickers
- —Proposal: a global ticker for the asset and a user-defined one for selecting trusted issuers
- —XRP Ledger already addresses the issue through its trust line mechanism
Why it matters: The debate touches on stablecoin UX and interoperability — a key barrier to mass crypto payments.
