Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse reiterates his opinion that the cryptocurrency industry will see some consolidation. He insists that there is no need for thousands of cryptocurrencies, and 2020 will be about "a migration to quality."

"I think you are gonna continue to see consolidation. Yeah, the world doesn't need 3,000 plus cryptocurrencies out there, and I think the utility will bear out that there will be a migration to quality if you will."

The company's CTO David Schwartz is on the same page with Garlinghouse when it comes to prioritizing quality use cases of blockchain projects. Schwarz gives an edge to those blockchains that can solve an actual problem and improve people's lives.
