Ripple Ex-CTO David Schwartz Reveals How Much XRP, Ethereum, and Bitcoin He Owns

David Schwartz, Ripple's CTO emeritus, disclosed that he reduced his XRP holdings from 26 million tokens to roughly 3 million, while retaining an equity stake in Ripple. The disclosure came as part of a public breakdown of his personal crypto portfolio, which also includes Ethereum and Bitcoin positions. The roughly 88% reduction in his XRP stack is notable given his long-standing role at Ripple and his history of selling tokens to fund personal expenses. His remaining Ripple equity keeps his financial exposure tied to the company's private valuation rather than the XRP price alone. Market watchers will look for further portfolio disclosures and any signal from Schwartz about whether the sales reflect routine diversification or a broader view on XRP.
