Odaily Planet Daily reported that Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse clarified on the X platform that XRP and Ripple shares are completely different. Linqto is an independent company that acquired Ripple shares from some existing shareholders. Ripple can confirm that Linqto holds 4.7 million shares of Ripple, which should be reassuring. However, Ripple is unaware of how Linqto manages the participants who sold Ripple shares 'on behalf of units', and therefore cannot guarantee Linqto's business practices and how they will handle this matter going forward. The good news is that the value of Ripple shares has significantly increased over time, and for 'Linqto unit holders', these shares should provide considerable returns.
