Lombard Finance’s liquid-staking bitcoin token, LBTC, will launch on the Sui blockchain on Thursday, marking its first expansion to a non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible chain.

Ripple CTO David Schwartz has weighed in on the ongoing discussion on X about Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), highlighting the technical advantages of XRPL’s transaction model over Bitcoin. Schwartz responded to an X user who compared the XRP Ledger, Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction mechanisms, saying: “I think it’s pretty clear that the technical advantages of XRPL’s transaction model give it an advantage over Bitcoin.
