Ripple CTO David Schwartz gives his keynote presentation at UBRI Connect 2019. During the presentation Schwartz explains the critical problems with the global financial system from high fees and slow speeds to siloed proprietary platforms that don't benefit users.

Schwartz argues that the solution is the Internet of Value (IOV) where money moves like information does today and payment networks interoperate for the benefit of the user. Schwartz also describes the Ripple strategy for making the IOV a reality with both RippleNet and Xpring.

SVP of Xpring Ethan Beard covers the initiative's investments and partnerships in their first year and the launch of its platform for developers to make building on blockchain easier.

Beard explains that Xpring is the open platform for money for developers built on open standards. His team will support development on XRP and Interledger with tools and services to make working with the technology simpler and more efficient. Beard states that fostering organic development will help build the Internet of Value (IOV).
