Episode 18: Ripples Engagement in CBDCs

In this podcast episode of the Digital Euro Podcast, James Wallis, VP for Central Bank Engagements and Antony Welfare, European CBDC lead at Ripple, talk to Manuel Klein, founding member of the DEA about Ripple's engagement in CBDCs. James and Antony give an overview of what Ripple does and what the underlying blockchain technology, the XRP Ledger (XRPL), is used for. They describe how Ripple partnered with the Central Bank of Bhutan to build a pilot for their CBDC and what role the XRPL could play in a future of multiple CBDCs running on different technologies. James and Antony also discuss the use cases of a CBDC and give an outlook into the future and how digital payments will play a fundamental role in it. We at DEA want to thank Ripple for their support of the DEA.
