XRP Ledger Co-Founder Arthur Britto Breaks His Silence on X After 14 Years – What Does It Mean?

Arthur Britto Breaks His Silence After 14 Years: XRP Community Stands Up

Arthur Britto, one of the mysterious co-founders of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), broke his 14-year silence with a single emoji—😶‍🌫️—causing a significant stir in the crypto world. This brief but striking post made on June 23, 2025, on the X (formerly Twitter) platform triggered speculation that a new era could be beginning within the community.

The Silent Architect in the Background: Arthur Britto

Britto, one of the three people who laid the foundation of the XRP Ledger, developed XRPL in 2012 alongside David Schwartz and Jed McCaleb to provide solutions to Bitcoin's limitations. However, unlike the other founders, Britto has stayed away from the public eye for years. Due to his lack of interviews, absence in photos, and not attending any public events, he is considered as mysterious a figure in the crypto world as Satoshi Nakamoto.

In fact, some Reddit users claim that Britto's true identity is a secret, and he could even be Satoshi. However, these theories are weakened by statements made by Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz. Schwartz clearly stated that they are still in contact with Britto and that the recent post was not due to the account being hacked:

"This is not a security breach. The post belongs to him."

What Does the Post Mean? Is the Timing Coincidental?

Britto's sudden return coincided with some significant developments in the XRP Ledger. Recently, the transaction volume on the network has increased significantly. Moreover, rumors about Ripple's upcoming IPO, upcoming technological updates, and potential corporate partnerships have not gone unnoticed by the community.

Some users point to the visions Britto articulated in the past. He argued that the XRP Ledger should become a global financial infrastructure capable of supporting 8 billion people. Claims that XRP could reach $10,000 were also part of this vision.

"Maybe this is a sign. The time for XRP has come. The global shift towards CBDCs, stablecoins, and digital payment systems intersects with the future that Britto envisioned," says a community member.

The Silence of a Legend and Its Systemic Mission

Some commentators interpret Britto's silence as a strategy. A user with the nickname Pumpius argues that he designed XRP not for price speculation but as a solution to be an alternative to the traditional financial system. It is claimed that Britto sees XRP as a "safety valve" to be activated in the event of a system collapse:

"You won't see Britto at conferences or podcasts. But when the system collapses, you will feel him."

Result: Is a New Era Beginning for XRP?

Britto's post created great excitement in the community, and his post has already received thousands of comments and shares. However, no official statement has been made yet. This mysterious post remains uncertain as to whether it heralds a significant technological or corporate step for XRP or is simply a personal return signal.

The XRP community is keeping its eyes on this newly reopened account. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see what the next post will be.
