A forensic analysis of on-chain data reveals that Ripple and its founding executives have distributed approximately 58.5 billion XRP tokens since the cryptocurrency’s 2012 launch, a staggering volume valued at roughly $109 billion at current prices. This massive, decade-long sell-off from the original finite supply has unfolded alongside a remarkable 31,756% price appreciation for XRP, pointing to a carefully orchestrated and phased distribution strategy that has so far avoided catastrophic market impacts.

Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès has conducted a groundbreaking post-mortem analysis using artificial intelligence, feeding the defunct cryptocurrency exchange’s 2011 codebase into Anthropic’s Claude AI. The AI immediately identified the system as “critically insecure” and broke down the key vulnerabilities that led to the platform’s first major hack, raising profound questions about whether modern AI tools could have prevented one of cryptocurrency’s most catastrophic collapses.

A 2023 court transcript from the SEC-Ripple case has resurfaced, revealing a comment by Ripple CTO David Schwartz suggesting Satoshi Nakamoto may have held XRP. Schwartz’s remark, unrelated to the court’s question, has sparked renewed speculation about his potential connection to Bitcoin’s creator. While Schwartz has denied being Nakamoto, the timeline of Nakamoto’s exit in 2011 and Schwartz’s subsequent work on XRP has kept theories alive. Despite the intrigue, no evidence supports these claims. Meanwhile, XRP’s price remains stable, with trading volume dropping significantly.

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen emphasized XRP’s superiority over Bitcoin in terms of speed, efficiency, and energy consumption during a recent podcast. He criticized Stellar Lumens for its inconsistent approach, citing token burns and frequent changes as chaotic. Larsen also questioned Ethereum’s community commitment while praising XRP’s loyal supporters. On Ripple’s potential IPO, he criticized the bureaucratic process and misinformation-driven stock price declines. Analysts like Charles Shrem and Edoardo Farina weighed in, with some predicting XRP could challenge Bitcoin’s dominance and deliver significant returns, with price targets ranging from $15 to $52.

Arthur Britto, one of the most private yet influential figures in crypto, co-founded Ripple Labs in 2012 and played a key role in designing the XRP Ledger (XRPL). After nearly 14 years of silence, he posted a single emoji on X, sending the XRP community into a frenzy. Ripple CTO David Schwartz confirmed the post was genuine, leading to speculation about a potential Ripple IPO, partnership, or innovation. Britto, a former video game programmer, has remained largely out of the public eye despite his contributions to early Bitcoin exchanges and internet service providers. His name has surfaced in legal documents, including the SEC’s case against Ripple, and he once sued Jed McCaleb over Stellar’s alleged code copying. Meanwhile, XRP’s price surged 7.63% in 24 hours, possibly due to renewed investor interest.
