Ripple CTO David Schwartz sheds light on the upcoming XRPL Automated Market Maker (AMM), confirming its support for multiple cryptocurrencies. He addresses community inquiries, affirming that users can create pools with any two assets on the XRPL.
XRP Expected to Dominate
Schwartz emphasizes that the AMM will accommodate pairs like CORE/XRP, FURY/USD, or CSC/RPR, provided both assets are on the XRPL.
While other assets are permissible, Schwartz anticipates XRP-centric pools to be the most popular, given XRP’s prominence on the network and its status as a gas token.
Speculation arises regarding Ripple leveraging its escrowed XRP for AMM liquidity, but Schwartz and Panos Mekras argue against such a move, foreseeing potential selling pressure and bearish outcomes for XRP.
The AMM feature is set to launch on March 22, prompting speculation about XRP’s price following implementation, with some drawing parallels to Stellar’s past experiences.
Schwartz’s Assurance
While Jasmine Cooper highlighted AMM’s potential to boost XRP’s utility, discussions on other assets have been scarce, fueling assumptions of exclusive XRP support.
