Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz rejected claims that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a "ghost chain" dominated by bots and automated transactions. He emphasized that XRPL's low transaction fees encourage both high-value and low-value activities, which is a feature rather than a flaw. The ledger supports a wide range of uses including tokenized real-world assets worth about $458 million and represented assets valued at $4.06 billion. Additionally, AI agents have conducted over 4.8 million transactions on XRPL, using XRP and RLUSD for digital service payments, showing the network's expanding role beyond traditional human payments. Schwartz also noted minor network disruptions unrelated to XRPL itself, underscoring the platform's overall stability.
