XRP could play a key role in future blockchain financial infrastructure by connecting liquidity and settlement across different assets. As the native asset of the network, XRP is used to pay transaction fees and reserve requirements, making it a fundamental element of how the XRP Ledger operates.
The statement was made by Ripple SVP Markus Infanger, commenting on the development of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). According to him, the network is gradually evolving into infrastructure for institutional financial services and DeFi, where XRP sits at the center of liquidity and transaction settlement.
Ripple believes this functionality could significantly simplify capital movement between different assets and financial markets.
If widely adopted, XRPL could evolve into a platform for institutional DeFi, with XRP serving as the core asset for liquidity and settlement.
Earlier we reported that Ripple is expanding XRP’s role with plans targeting lending and institutional DeFi.
