Ripple Co-founder, Often Called “XRP’s Satoshi,” Breaks 14-Year Silence
A wave of surprise swept through the XRP community as Ripple co-founder Arthur Britto reappeared after 14 years of silence, sparking curiosity and speculation.
On June 23, Britto made his first public post on the social media platform X—featuring nothing more than a blank face emoji. The mysterious gesture immediately captured the attention of XRP supporters, leaving many to wonder about the meaning behind his sudden reemergence.
Britto played a foundational role in the creation of Ripple and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), but his name has rarely been heard in recent years. Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, confirmed that Britto’s account was not hacked or compromised, easing security concerns.
Notable community members expressed astonishment at Britto’s return, with some calling him the most important “ghost” in crypto history—even more enigmatic than Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Britto is credited with co-authoring the XRP whitepaper and limiting XRP's total supply to 100 billion tokens. He now leads Polysign, a company focused on institutional crypto custody, which reportedly maintains ties with Ripple.
His reappearance has strengthened bullish sentiment around XRP, with some users interpreting it as a signal that “XRP is ready for the moon.”
Crypto influencer John Square also noted that Britto’s return coincides with a spike in XRP transactions, Ripple’s rumored IPO plans, and broader market developments—all of which could signal upward momentum for XRP.
As of now, XRP is trading around $2.19, up more than 7% in the last 24 hours.
All these signs suggest Britto’s sudden return is not a coincidence, but potentially a harbinger of major changes in the crypto market.
