According to Ripple’s head of tech, David Schwartz, the firm is creating a new feature which will let clients mint new asset backed tokens on its XRP ledger.
Ripple released a press statement explaining that its tech engineers are developing exciting fresh features which will lead to the broadening of the ledger’s functionalities which will also allow third-party users to roll on other cryptos on top of the XRP Ledger network.
While Schwartz was economical on the details of the fresh features, he explained that they will help in rolling on fixed-value tokens within the XRPP Ledger. He explained:
“Stablecoins is the obvious use case, but it's not just stablecoins it's essentially assets pegged to some external value.”
CoinDesk reports that such features are present in various blockchain platforms with the most notable one being Tether that operates stablecoin layers on different platforms simultaneously. However, Schwartz explained that asset-backed tokens running on XRP platform will be assured of guaranteed liquidity based on the ledger’s mechanics.
In a previous interview, Schwartz had explained that a entirely collateralized XRP stablecoin can be highly liquid. He added that instead of developing different markets for every virtual asset, the trades will happen in XRP ensuring liquidity of the stablecoin its popularity notwithstanding.
This will not be the first instance that Ripple is venturing into markets outside its settlement business. Xpring, the firm’s investment wing, purchased a decentralized payments platform known as Logos Network late last year. During the acquisition period, Xpring had stated that the new platform would allow Ripple to develop financial products and services on XRP Ledger.
Schwartz explained that the firm’s engineers had realized that the XRP Ledger has properties of algorithms that allow the firm to operate the same way as a decentralized exchange. It is these features that the firm aims to capitalize on and add several aspects which will let users easily offer their own digital assets.
