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.
