According to ZyCrypto, Ripple CTO emeritus David Schwartz used an October 23 exchange on X to argue that increasing adoption of the 
XRP Ledger could translate into stronger demand for XRP. His case centered on the token's functions within the ledger, including liquidity provision, trading, and network transactions.
The argument presents XRPL adoption and XRP demand as connected: if more financial activity takes place on the ledger, greater use of XRP for those functions could follow. This is Schwartz's stated thesis rather than a reported price forecast or a documented result from a specific adoption period.
ZyCrypto is the only outlet in the supplied coverage, so there is no independent corroboration of Schwartz's position or additional figures describing adoption, liquidity, or transaction activity. The report did not claim that the ledger had already reached a particular size or that future adoption would guarantee a higher XRP price.
