Currently at a XRP Ledger research summit in Paris. Holy shit. Not a single person doubting the future.
This is my place. My people.
Everyone passionately working on XRP.
Top Tier Topics. DEX orderbook, off chain smart contract solutions, consensus mechanism, AI and "Extension chains" via ZKs enabling L1 security to L2 setups.
There's one researcher who stood out. A mathematician who is very deep in off/on chain smart contracts. Reminded me a lot of what Codius aimed to achieve. Let's do a research paper how this would work with XRPL with the XRP Ledger Foundation?
I'm also sitting as i'm typing this next to @v_tumas, the Formal Verification expert on the XRPL (maybe you recall the X space last week with him and Mayukha).
We are on such a good trajectory guys, you have no idea.
One thing we consistently hear from banks and financial institutions is that while they recognise the benefits of digital asset technology, they require a straightforward way of accessing those benefits.
They're looking for trusted partners to help them meet a range of needs including custody, liquidity, settlement and compliance, to allow them to focus on what matters most: delivering better experiences for their customers.
What’s more, as the digital assets industry matures financial institutions want partners who combine innovative technology with regulatory certainty - that's why obtaining licences around the world is an important strategic priority for @Ripple. Our recent licences in the UK and Luxembourg build on the regulatory foundation that enables us to deliver faster, more transparent and more cost-effective cross-border payments in a compliant way.
In light of this, I recently joined Paul on FinTech Future’s ‘What the FinTech?’ podcast to discuss Ripple's strategy and investment in the UK and Europe, the region’s evolving regulatory landscape, and the future of cross-border payments.
Thanks to Paul and the team for having me on. You can listen to our conversation here.
