He Holds 2% of All XRP and He Just Broke His Silence After 14 Years

A legendary crypto figure has made a comeback, silently but with a high magnitude. Ripple Labs co-founder Arthur Britto emerged from a 14-year hiatus, having been one of the mysterious developers of the XRP Ledger. The XRP community is in a frenzy over an X (formerly Twitter) post featuring a single emoji.

At the heart of this renewed attention is a dormant yet massive XRP whale wallet, reportedly under the control of Britto. This sleeping address, connected to billions of XRP, might transform the market environment in case it starts moving.

Britto’s Return Revives XRP Speculation

The caption was less than substantial, a mere emoji, but the ripples it created were earth-shaking. Ripple CTO David Schwartz confirmed the message and created a speculative storm. Others took it as an advertisement of a product upgrade. Some interpreted it as the indication that the whale wallet of Britto could be getting ready to move.

The role of Britto in the early stage of Ripple cannot be ignored. He has not been to the limelight, but he was critical in the development of the XRP Ledger code. The amount of the supply of the tokens in his XRP whale wallet constitutes a serious share of the overall supply, which can be measured in approximately 2%.
