TO ALL USERS OF "XRP"

It is essential to avoid the narrative that XRP "won" its case against the SEC, as this interpretation distorts reality. If Ripple Labs had achieved an absolute victory, it would not have had to pay any fines. The fact that the company reached a financial settlement with the SEC implies a tacit acknowledgment of irregularities or liability, given that economic sanctions are usually applied when there is a partial or total admission of guilt in a legal conflict.

To put it in perspective with an everyday example: if a traffic officer fines you for speeding, it is because you broke the law. Similarly, if you do not file your tax returns on time and receive a fine, it is because you violated the rules. This same principle applies to Ripple Labs: the settlement with the SEC reinforces the idea that there was a breach of established regulations.

This case also raises doubts about the nature of XRP as a cryptocurrency. Although many argue that cryptocurrencies should represent decentralization and transparency, the events related to Ripple Labs suggest otherwise.

🚨👁️🔎

**XRP is not decentralized**, as a large part of its total supply is concentrated in the hands of a few. Currently, around 50% of the circulating XRP is controlled by Ripple Labs and the original founders of the company.

This concentration of power questions the reliability of XRP as an asset, especially after facing regulatory sanctions. Furthermore, it evidences that a large part of the control and benefits is in the hands of a small group of investors and financial elites.

In conclusion, it is crucial not to mislead the public by claiming that XRP emerged victorious in this case. The legal reality is clear: the payment of a fine for violating established rules speaks for itself.
