XRP (Ripple) is being highlighted as a key bridge asset to replace slow and inefficient traditional banking systems and lead the explosive popularization of the decentralized finance (DeFi) era, forecasting a new paradigm shift in the virtual asset market.

According to Bitcoinist, a cryptocurrency specialized media outlet, on April 24 (local time), Vet, an XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator, analyzed that while decentralized finance still has a long way to go to completely replace traditional finance (TradFi), XRP is perfectly positioned to play a leading role in this transition. He emphasized the need for innovation, pointing out the clear limitations of traditional finance, such as slow payment speeds, high transaction costs, and limited cross-border accessibility.

Indeed, XRP is specialized in cross-border payments and liquidity provision, and is considered a key intermediary to reshape the flow of value between the two financial systems. Vet explained that XRP possesses superior protocol design and robust real-world use cases that differentiate it from other digital assets, making it most suitable for real-world financial applications.

However, sharp counterarguments were raised against these claims of superiority. Hugo Philion, co-founder of Flare Network, strongly criticized Vet's remarks as merely 'dancing on the graves' of other projects' shortcomings. He reminded that the XRP Ledger also experienced various bugs and issues during its deployment, and dismissed the idea of true superiority as a premature judgment that can only be discussed after large-scale proven use in real-world environments.

In response, Vet immediately countered, stating that Philion had completely misunderstood his point. He argued that the XRP Ledger was intentionally designed to exclude complex risk factors or staking through smart contracts, thereby fundamentally blocking critical downside risks that occur in other ecosystems. He expressed strong confidence in the inevitable market changes, citing the upcoming XLS-66 upgrade as a perfect example demonstrating this financial structural stability.
