In a detailed thread on X, Jungle Inc (@jungleincxrp) presented a focused analysis of Ripple CTO David Schwartz’s recent comments on the evolving path of XRP and crypto adoption. Schwartz’s remarks, shared through multiple clips of a recent stage talk, emphasized the challenges Ripple has faced and the foundation now being laid for a more viable and institutionally integrated crypto ecosystem. Schwartz clarified that the route for Ripple and XRP has been indirect and complex. He explained that while Ripple committed to payments in 2014, the process has not followed a linear path. Schwartz emphasized that for global adoption to materialize, users must be able to access their funds instantly, especially for essential expenses. His statements suggest that while the journey has been long, adoption has begun, and the path is becoming clearer. This wasn’t a roadmap. It was a confession. Ripple’s CTO just admitted that crypto’s path to adoption won’t be clean or direct, but it’s already begun. And for the first time in years, XRP is in position to lead. Here’s what David Schwartz just revealed and why it matters now… pic.twitter.com/We71vwlugV — Jungle Inc Crypto News (@jungleincxrp) May 23, 2025 Functional Balance and Ledger Evolution Discussing the XRP Ledger (XRPL), Schwartz positioned it between Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of capability. Bitcoin offers limited functions, and Ethereum is broadly programmable, but the XRPL is designed for fixed functions, covering most financial use cases without the unpredictability of custom smart contracts. The XRPL’s fixed function design lets users engage with the blockchain without the uncertainty they would have on Ethereum’s network, where they cannot verify the functions of smart contracts or audit them. He also pointed to recent advancements, including the addition of decentralized identity features and automated market makers (AMMs), decentralized ID, lending protocols, and more.

He explained that Ripple had to move hiring, development, and customer acquisition overseas. However, the climate is beginning to shift . Ripple’s licensed payment product, Ripple Payments, now operates within the U.S., and Schwartz expressed optimism that soft regulatory barriers are starting to ease. Schwartz highlighted the need for “predictability,” stressing that Ripple will comply with regulations as long as they are clearly defined. Liquidity, Rational Markets, and the Path Forward Schwartz noted that crypto markets behave rationally with sufficient liquidity and access, with prices reflecting adoption odds. Applying this rationale to XRP, Jungle Inc. emphasized that recent gains are not driven by speculation, but by increasing institutional access and improved infrastructure. Schwartz highlighted increasing ties between traditional finance and crypto, expecting tokenized real-world assets to boost DeFi. According to Jungle Inc., XRP is now positioned to lead in this emerging phase, having navigated years of regulatory uncertainty and infrastructure development.
