As reported by 36 Crypto, crypto analyst Stern Drew claims Ripple and XRP were intentionally prevented from scaling until advancements in zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs and blockchain identity matured. Drew cited remarks from Ripple executives David Schwartz and Brad Garlinghouse, suggesting that native ZK-proofs on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) now enable decentralized settlement and privacy-preserving compliance. He argues that ZK-proofs eliminate the need for intermediaries and allow users to verify transactions cryptographically. Drew also highlighted the potential for ZK-powered identity systems to unify compliance and privacy in sectors like institutional DeFi and real-world asset stablecoins.
