In a significant development in the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency</a> space, Ripple’s Chief Technical Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, has thrown his weight behind the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in response to a recent post by global asset manager Franklin Templeton. Notably, Franklin Templeton’s X post suggests that the asset manager, managing over $1.5 trillion in assets, is open to exploring potential blockchain networks beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Meanwhile, this endorsement by a prominent figure in the crypto community has sparked discussions about the XRPL’s reliability and its potential in asset tokenization.

Ripple CTO, <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-cto-david-schwartz-reveals-unexpected-truths-about-xrps-distribution-and-supply/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">David Schwartz</a>, replying to Franklin Templeton’s X post where they were exploring diverse crypto players, emphasized <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-healthcare-secures-position-as-xrpl-validator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRPL’s</a> unparalleled decade-long track record in reliability and stability. In addition, David Schwartz highlighted XRPL’s prowess in tokenizing and exchanging a wide spectrum of assets, ranging from crypto-native to real-world assets.
Notably, this endorsement from a key player in Ripple adds credibility to the XRPL’s standing in the crypto market, potentially signaling a broader acknowledgment of its capabilities in handling diverse asset classes. Meanwhile, the endorsement from Ripple CTO was supported by XRP lawyer <a href="https://coingape.com/pro-xrp-lawyer-sparks-xrp-price-debate-with-short-term-vs-long-term-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bill Morgan</a>.
However, the pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan also critiqued Franklin Templeton’s inclusion of Solana (SOL) in its considerations, asserting that XRPL’s reliability surpasses that of SOL. Bill Morgan’s comment adds to the growing discourse on the comparative strengths of various blockchain networks, further underlining the significance of XRPL in the evolving landscape.
Notably, Andos Finance’s co-founder Panos also echoed a similar sentiment as the Ripple community. Commenting on Franklin Templeton’s post on the X platform, Panos said “Time to Jump On XRPL.”
