In a fascinating throwback, Ripple CTO David Schwartz shared a unique use case of XRP Ledger (XRPL) from 2013, providing a glimpse into its early days.
In response to a tweet by X user Zach Rector, who highlighted the potential for tokenized metals on XRPL, Schwartz revealed a personal experience from 2013, showcasing the ledger’s versatility even in its early years.
