[Crypto World] All along, XRP Ledger and Cardano have been doing the same thing—building truly decentralized settlement infrastructure that supports high throughput and high controllability. It may not sound special, but compared to the functions that traditional finance is just now starting to replicate, their scale is insignificant.
What’s the key difference? These Web3 native systems use on-chain governance and formal verification to build, making them inherently more resistant to censorship and more transparent. Meanwhile, schemes led by large institutions, no matter how efficient they claim to be, fundamentally prioritize maintaining their own control.
In the short term, price fluctuations are the hot topic. But what do institutional investors need? Programmable, neutral, and truly trustworthy settlement channels. This demand is continuously growing. So, what is truly competitive is not how much the price has risen this year, but the maturity and reliability of the system itself. That’s why these types of infrastructure can ultimately survive and be integrated into the ecosystem—

【Crypto World】Ripple's Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz recently spoke out on social media, offering an interpretation of the company's 2017 escrow mechanism.
The design of this mechanism is as follows: lock 55 billion XRP, then release 1 billion each month. It sounds quite rigorous. But Schwartz's view is interesting—he says that this mechanism actually restricts the flexibility of XRP sales.
To be more straightforward, he personally opposes this escrow arrangement. In his view, the emphasis on "predictability" when promoting this mechanism actually masks a deeper issue: it locks the company's sales space in the face of market changes. In comparison, unlimited release of XRP actually provides more operational flexibility.
So why hasn't the price plummeted as a result? Schwartz explains that these potential future sales volumes have long been anticipated by the market.

The (PARITY Act) is advancing, with a clear core goal: to close the tax loophole of "wash sales," but more importantly, to open the door for staking, mining, and small-scale stablecoin transactions, offering tangible tax incentives. What does this indicate? It shows that policymakers are beginning to recognize the legitimacy of these activities.
