What to watch
- AI‑based finance research could create payment‑processing models that use XRP, where artificial intelligence (AI) enables computers to learn patterns, potentially increasing XRP’s transaction volume. Analyst inference
- Post‑quantum (cryptography designed to resist quantum‑computer attacks) security research may lead to new encryption methods for Ripple’s network, making it more attractive for enterprises concerned about future quantum computers. Analyst inference
- Tokenized markets (assets represented as digital tokens on a blockchain) research could produce standards for asset issuance, helping regulators define rules that may increase institutional comfort with XRP‑based token offerings. Analyst inference
Affected assets
