XRP in a Minute’ Shows How XRPL Is Moving Beyond Basic Transfers Ripple published a new “ XRP in a Minute” segment on June 5, featuring David Schwartz explaining how XRP utility is expanding. Schwartz is Ripple’s CTO Emeritus and one of the original architects of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The segment opens with the question: “How is XRP’s utility expanding?”

His answer centers on tokenized assets, enterprise adoption, and financial services built on XRPL. “ Bitcoin got things started by providing a public blockchain that allowed people to hold and transfer Bitcoin,” Schwartz explained. He emphasized that the breakthrough showed people could own and move digital value on open infrastructure. The XRP Ledger then expanded that model by supporting native digital assets and issued assets. Schwartz said:

“The XRP Ledger followed soon after, providing both the native digital assets similar to bitcoin, as well as issued assets that can represent things like stablecoins or tokenized assets of any kind.” That distinction drives Schwartz’s utility argument. The XRP Ledger is not limited to sending XRP between users. It can also support assets that represent dollars, funds, securities, stocks, or other forms of value. That gives XRPL a broader financial role because it can combine asset issuance, transfer, and settlement on one network. Ad Tokenized Assets Could Push XRP Utility Into Financial Markets Schwartz continued: “Today, Enterprises are using the XRP Ledger to provide tokenized real-world assets [ RWAs], and in the near future, they’ll be offering everything from tokenized securities to money market funds, even things like tokenized stocks.” The statement moves the discussion beyond payments. Tokenized assets could bring familiar financial products onto blockchain rails, where they may become easier to issue, transfer, and settle.

The next phase would move XRP Ledger further into credit markets. “And coming soon,” Schwartz noted, “We’ll see features like tokenized repos and tokenized loans.” Repos are short-term financing tools used across traditional markets. Tokenized loans would extend XRPL’s role into borrowing, collateral, and repayment activity. Together, those products point to utility built around financial infrastructure, not speculation alone.

The Ripple CTO Emeritus said: “Enterprises will provide the features that will attract Mass retail adoption, where DeFi can truly deliver on its promise of replacing TradFi and providing the financial Services that everyone needs.” His view puts enterprises at the center of retail adoption. Consumers may not adopt decentralized finance ( DeFi) because it uses blockchain terminology.

They may adopt it when tokenized funds, loans, repos, and stocks feel simple, liquid, compliant, and useful. For Schwartz, XRP utility expands when XRPL supports recognizable financial services that people and institutions already understand.

The same utility theme has also appeared outside Ripple’s own messaging. Anodos Finance CEO Panos Mekras recently said his company has bought, held, and paid its team with XRP since 2023. That example connects directly with Schwartz’s point about practical financial use. It shows how businesses may treat XRP as working liquidity for treasury activity, payments, and operations, not only as a traded asset. Schwartz’s comments also reflect XRP’s longer arc after 14 years in the market. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called it “the honor of a lifetime” to be part of the XRP family, while Schwartz described XRP’s origins as an effort to build a better way to move value.

Recent discussions now center on tokenization, treasury management, settlement, and onchain financial products. Garlinghouse has also highlighted XRP’s speed, low transaction costs, scalability, and long operating history, traits that could support the tokenized assets, loans, funds, and settlement products Schwartz described.
