👤 Ripple Co-Founder Breaks 14-Year Silence, Sparks XRP Market Speculation
Arthur Britto, one of the original co-founders of Ripple and co-architect of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), broke a 14-year silence with a mysterious post on X (formerly Twitter) on June 23.
His post — just a blank-faced emoji (😶) — has ignited intense speculation in the XRP community.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz confirmed the post was genuine and not the result of a hack.
Britto is considered by some to be “the ghost of crypto,” even more elusive than Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
He played a key role in limiting XRP's total supply to 100 billion and co-authored the XRP whitepaper.
Currently, Britto leads PolySign, a company focused on institutional-grade digital asset custody — a firm reportedly connected to Ripple.
Britto’s sudden reappearance coincides with:
Growing XRP transaction volumes,
A potential Ripple IPO,
And a 7% price increase in XRP in 24 hours, now trading around $2.19.
Community reactions suggest Britto’s activity could signal a strategic move or market shift, not just a coincidence.
Influencers speculate that this could be a “to the moon” moment for XRP.
