This is the first episode from our “Live from Links” series, where we take the hottest conversations that were recorded live from the Chainalysis Links conference in New York City.
The transformative journey from traditional finance to the innovative world of blockchain is not an easy one, but this week Matthew Wilson, our Director of Product Management at Chainalysis, hears from someone that has taken on the task, Jas Takhar (VP of Engineering, Stablecoin & Custody Engineering, Ripple).
Jas explains how Ripple and the XRP Ledger are pioneering advancements in stablecoin payments and DeFi to facilitate seamless, efficient, and compliant financial operations across the globe.
He explains XRP Ledger’s decision to focus on native features over smart contracts, emphasizing security and payment optimization, while revolutionizing cross-border payments, enhancing liquidity, and ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.
