Schwartz says more voices are needed in $XRP Ledger governance so the network is not seen as “a tool to serve Ripple’s interests only.” He sees no significant technical gaps holding back banks or asset managers. The real obstacles are liquidity, on- and off-ramps, and connecting the ledger to existing financial systems. A governance warning from the ledger’s co-creator Schwartz said most of the $XRP Ledger’s technical problems are solved. The harder question now is whose needs the ledger should serve. “You can build a blockchain that does one thing, or you can build a blockchain that does something else,”…
