Jed McCaleb: Divergence Strategy from Ripple
Jed McCaleb's departure from Ripple in 2014 has long been a topic of speculation. More than just a breakup, his action could be part of a larger plan — building a parallel blockchain system.
Ripple & Stellar: A Creative Divergence
Jed McCaleb, co-founder of Ripple, played a crucial role in designing the initial architecture of XRP. After some disagreements, he left Ripple and quickly launched Stellar (XLM). Many believe this was not just a departure, but a strategic deployment.
XRP and XLM: Strategic Partners
XRP and XLM are not competitors but two complementary parts of a global plan. XRP focuses on improving liquidation, cross-border payments, and supporting central bank digital currencies. Meanwhile, Stellar targets underserved communities and retail stablecoin transactions.
Strategic Collaboration
Both Ripple and Stellar have achieved strong partnerships. Ripple collaborates with major financial institutions like Bank of America and SBI. Stellar focuses on humanitarian projects, used by the United Nations for aid through blockchain technology.
Conclusion
Jed McCaleb's departure was not a coincidence; it was part of a carefully calculated plan. Ripple focuses on organizational aspects, while Stellar brings the power of blockchain to communities.
