Why Ripple did not put XRP front and center: former CTO on early strategy

Ripple adopted a strategy of not revealing to customers that it was using XRP as it expanded payment services for financial institutions, according to former chief technology officer David Schwartz. Speaking at EverNoss\' Nasdaq listing event, Schwartz said Ripple focused on making payments feel natural, with blockchain infrastructure operating in the background. He said attitudes have shifted, with broader interest in blockchain deployment, and cited Coinbase\'s listing and EverNoss\' Nasdaq debut as part of the trend linking crypto and traditional finance.

Stablecoin market capitalisation reached $306 billion.
