XRP Ledger Scaling: Why XDC is the Essential Plan B for RWA Liquidity 🚀

[00:00:00]Um, they have USDC on their network now.

[00:00:04]Uh, I think that they are going to try to double down on payments to build liquidity uh, in that ecosystem in the token. And then parlay that, just like Ripple has, into other products and solutions later on.

[00:00:18]So, I think that's their main focus in the short term. I would expect to see other stable [clears throat] coins issued on XDC. You know, I've talked about in the past that, you know, XRP is the primary second settlement mechanism for R3 and Corda.

[00:00:30]However, uh, they can utilize Solana, they can use XDC, they've run pilots with multiple other people. Um, and you do need fail-safes and backup systems in case you can't execute because of certain amount of volume or cost on a certain network. So, as the XRPL scales, if there is a pause in the network or something, you know, you could route that liquidity some other way. XDC may be the fallback on that.
