Ripple’s CTO emeritus David Schwartz has expressed optimism about the future of decentralized finance on the XRP Ledger, suggesting that easier-to-use financial applications and AI-powered services could bring more people into blockchain-based finance. In an interview with Tony Edward of the Thinking Crypto Podcast, published October 18 following Evernorth’s Nasdaq closing bell ceremony, Schwartz discussed tokenization, regulatory changes and how ordinary users might interact with decentralized financial services.

Schwartz described a future in which blockchain applications could reach users who do not understand the underlying technology, drawing comparisons with how mobile applications became accessible through major smartphone platforms.
