Ripple Ex-CTO Tells Angry XRP Holders There’s No Secret Plan

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz addressed frustrated XRP holders, stating that the token’s price largely tracks broader market movements and that no secret plan exists to drive XRP higher. The comments push back on a persistent narrative among holders who have long expected Ripple to take deliberate action on the token’s behalf. XRP’s price has remained a flashpoint for the community, with holders frequently questioning the company’s role in supporting the asset. Schwartz’s remarks reframe XRP’s trajectory as market-dependent rather than company-managed. Watch for how the community responds and whether expectations around Ripple’s influence on XRP pricing shift.
