Schwartz: Ripple "Almost Had to Hide" XRP Use From Clients

  • —Schwartz said Ripple "almost had to hide" XRP use in early payment flows
  • —Payments ran in the background so clients did not need to understand blockchain
  • —Coinbase's Nasdaq listing helped institutions trust crypto valuations
  • —Schwartz positioned XRPL between Bitcoin and broader networks like Ethereum and Solana
Why it matters: The remarks show how bank attitudes toward blockchain have shifted and frame XRPL's pitch for tokenization and payments.
