Talking Tokens: Crypto, Onchain Finance, Investing · Evernorth Has 473 Million XRP And An Argument to Why Idle Capital Should Not Exist | Asheesh Birla · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

So you can't have one without the other.

I guess I would sum it up as that is that you need uh, you know, a solid US dollar base pair if you want to.

provision liquidity on chain.

And R L U S D, the metric suggests that it's achieving just that.

Well I think like the unique positioning around uh what uh XRP is doing is that uh they're going after like the institutional grade uh DeFi products, um institutional lending, institutional FX.

And uh that just means that you need to have like a m more robust set of uh you know, KYC tools, uh know your customer tools, um and onboarding.

But it also you gotta have um institutional grade protocols as well.

So what does that mean?

Like the most most of the folks do defy in the world world of smart contracts, but the XRP approach is actually to build those native protocols for lending and other use cases directly into the XRP ledger itself.

So takes away the smart contract risk, um, has features like uh know your customer is institutional grade.

So it's not like one or the other, it's just they're going after a different kind of customer base uh for this future.

Yeah, uh well I mean let's let's go back to like the uh you know, the point that we were talking about earlier is like technology is one aspect of it, but what else do you need?

You need commercialization.

So then you means you need people to integrate this into uh the real world, into financial institutions.

I think Ripple does a fabulous job of that.

Um but then you also need if you would talk about the on chain economy

you also need a lot of liquidity on-chain as well.

And statistics have shown that uh you really can't have a vibrant on chain uh you know, liquidity market without having US dollars and a solid US dollar pair.

And some folks are gonna use Tether.

Um in some markets, uh if you want institutional grade, I think R L USD is that institutional grade US dollar um stable coin.
