>XRP is a network for settlement
No, Chainlink is.
See pic.

XRP's version of settlement is fundamentally retarded
>sell asset X for XRP
>send XRP from wallet to wallet
>sell XRP for asset Y

And not only is it retarded, but Ripple itself admitted this system is demand neutral for XRP. Meaning it does not pump the price because the XRP is bought and sold immediately.

>>one settles value
>>one provides price feeds
Both are Chainlink.
Neither are Ripple.

Tokenized assets make bridge currencies redundant.
That's the very simple truth of it.
That's why Ripple keeps falling deeper and deeper into irrelevance among banks.

You don't need a "bridge currency" to swap tokens and settle transactions, you need oracle infrastructure.
Just ask Visa, see pic
