Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz Makes a Confession About XRP! He Revealed How Much XRP He Still Has Left!

David Schwartz, the former Chief Technology Officer of Ripple and a prominent figure in the $XRP ecosystem, has made a notable disclosure regarding his personal $XRP holdings. In a statement on platform X, Schwartz revealed that he once owned approximately 26 million $XRP tokens, but that amount has since decreased to about 2 million $XRP. This represents a reduction of roughly 24 million tokens, or about 92% of his peak holdings. Schwartz explained that he has gradually reduced his position over time, citing risk management as a significant factor in these decisions. He previously stated a preference to scale down his holdings as the price of $XRP increased, expressing that holding large amounts of cryptocurrency posed a significant risk to him personally. The disclosure came in response to a user inquiry about the size of his personal $XRP reserves. It is important to note that there are no specific details available regarding the timing or the prices at which he sold the tokens, indicating this reflects a general change over a period rather than a specific sale transaction.

Here’s How Much Ripple’s CTO XRP Holdings Would Be Worth If He Never Sold

The article discusses the hypothetical value of former Ripple CTO David Schwartz's XRP holdings if he had never sold. It details a report showing Schwartz once held 26 million XRP. The value of this stash would have fluctuated dramatically, from $130,000 in 2012 (at $0.005/XRP) to a peak of nearly $59.8 million in 2017 (at $2.30/XRP), and would have been over $54 million in 2024. Schwartz, however, sold most of his XRP in waves between 2012 and 2020 at around $0.10 per token, earning about $2.6 million at the time. He explained his conservative investment strategy, preferring stability and de-risking over chasing massive potential gains, and noted his current main crypto exposure is through Ripple stock.

A Quick Fix: Ripple Patches Major Issue That Could Threaten XRP Users On The Ledger

Ripple has released Rippled version 3.1.2 to patch a critical vulnerability in the XRP Ledger's Batch amendment feature. The flaw, discovered shortly after the feature's introduction, could have allowed attackers to execute unauthorized transactions and caused servers to crash or restart under certain conditions. Developers from RippleX collaborated on the urgent fix. This is the third rapid update addressing issues originating from Rippled 3.1.0. Separately, Ripple CTO David Schwartz responded to criticism about the company's practice of selling XRP to fund operations, arguing that such sales do not necessarily harm retail investors.

Will Ex-Ripple CTO Schwartz Develop Bitcoin Again? His Answer Turns Heads

David Schwartz, former Ripple CTO and key architect of the XRP Ledger, dismissed the possibility of returning to Bitcoin development, calling Bitcoin “largely a technological dead end.” He argued that Bitcoin's success is driven more by social and monetary inertia than by technological innovation at its base layer. The comments emerged from a debate on X (formerly Twitter) about centralization in crypto, where Schwartz defended XRP's early "genesis reset" by pointing to what he called more centralized incidents in Bitcoin's history, such as a coordinated rollback in 2010. Schwartz stated that blockchain technology matters less to Bitcoin’s success than its established monetary status, comparing it to the U.S. dollar. He confirmed he has no plans to develop for Bitcoin again and will instead focus on his own projects on the XRP Ledger. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at $1.38.

Ripple CTO Explains How The XRP Ledger ‘Will Take Over The World’
