A bold and provocative conversation is echoing across the crypto community in the aftermath of XRP Las Vegas 2025. Captured in a candid, no-hype interview clip shared by well-known content creator and XRP advocate Ray Fuentes, journalist Vincent Scott shared his unfiltered perspective on the transformative nature of Ripple’s technology and the evolving role of XRP in global finance. A Defining Question at XRP Las Vegas The interview, which has been widely circulated on social media, centers on a key exchange between Vincent Scott and Ripple CTO David Schwartz during the XRP Las Vegas event. Speaking in the video, Scott said, “I got a question answered by David Schwartz yesterday.” When prompted by the interviewer to elaborate, he revealed the question he posed to Schwartz was: “Did Ripple build a financial system?” Scott’s explanation that followed was deeply technical, yet underscored a revolutionary premise: that Ripple and XRP may be doing more than just enhancing payments; they may be redefining the infrastructure of value transfer itself. “Did Ripple build a new financial system?” @VincentSco72192 says YES—and breaks down how $XRP , DLT, and @Ripple are rewriting the rules of money. This raw, no-hype interview from #XRPLV2025 is a must-watch.

XRP through the means of exchange, through either gas to be burnt for the facilitation of the actual transaction or a money processor to convert to whatever Stablecoin or tokenized asset that you want with stores of value as RWA’s or anything else back in the unit of the account.” In this view, XRP acts not merely as a bridge asset or transaction token but as an integral component within a broader value transmission mechanism. Whether used as gas, an intermediary currency, or a facilitator of tokenized assets such as real-world assets (RWAs), XRP becomes the technological backbone of a new model — one where value can move with internet-like efficiency and near-zero friction. Schwartz’s response to this theoretical framing was direct and impactful. According to Scott, “David Schwartz said Yes, that’s the financial system.” Implications for the Global Monetary Landscape Scott’s analysis ventures far beyond technicalities. He sees this emerging infrastructure as a seismic threat to the entrenched global financial order. “Now what we have in our hands here for the transmission of value and internet of value,” he stated, “this is a new way of transacting throughout the world, and what that means for the Federal Reserve System…” We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 His statement then turned sharply political, alluding to controversial underpinnings of the traditional monetary system. “This system has been propped up by CIA coups, blackmails, and the Epstein stuff. It’s pretty evil what they’ve done throughout the entire world, and there’s blood on the hands of the people who have put this system upon us, and we need to all get out of it.” While these remarks reflect a personal and impassioned view, they underscore a broader sentiment within parts of the crypto community — that blockchain-based systems, especially those with decentralized traits or open standards, could offer an alternative to centralized, opaque, and politically manipulated financial institutions. Contextualizing Ripple’s Role in the Financial Future Ripple has long positioned itself at the intersection of legacy finance and blockchain innovation. Its global payment solution, RippleNet, has been adopted by hundreds of financial institutions, while the company has continued to push forward with tokenization initiatives, including the December 2024 launch of RLUSD, designed to bridge institutional finance and the XRP Ledger. Moreover, the XRPL ecosystem has expanded significantly with developments such as the EVM sidechain (led by Peersyst Technology) and integrations with central bank digital currency (CBDC) platforms across various jurisdictions. These tools, combined with XRP’s role as a neutral, liquid, and interoperable asset, give weight to Scott’s suggestion that Ripple may have built, or is actively building, a financial system of its own.
