White Collar Rug Pull: A New Approach to Fraud in the Crypto Ecosystem – the XRP Case #XRPrugpull #xrp $XRP
Have you ever wondered why XRP rises to ranges of 2-3 dollars in all cycles only to fall back to cents?
In the crypto world, terms like rug pull are associated with dubious projects, cloned contracts, or tokens without foundations. However, what is rarely discussed is the existence of more sophisticated frauds, carried out with the appearance of legality, institutional backing, and well-constructed narratives. We call this: white collar rug pull.
What is a White Collar Rug Pull? Unlike the traditional rug pull (where a team disappears with the funds), a white collar rug pull occurs when credible actors — be they companies, foundations, or even financial institutions — manipulate market expectations for their own benefit, without necessarily violating the law directly. It is a form of "legalized" scam. XRP has been embroiled in controversies for years, primarily due to:
The initial distribution of tokens and centralized control. The massive sale of XRP by Ripple Labs while promoting the token. The narrative of bank adoption that many argue was inflated or incomplete. The regular sales by co-founders like Jed McCaleb, even during periods of uncertainty for holders. Many believe that XRP represents a white collar rug pull because, although they never disappeared, the behavior of internal actors could be seen as a form of value draining at the public's expense, all under the cover of a "corporate" structure.
Key features of the white collar rug pull: Institutional presence or legal facade. Controlled narrative to attract investors. Manipulation without openly criminal acts. Progressive draining of value. Diffuse or shared blame.
Why is it important to recognize it? Investors tend to trust projects with a corporate face, which can be an even more dangerous trap.
People said: “Too much supply.” “It’s not that kind of coin.” Okay… but so was $DOGE. XRP isn’t just vibes—it’s plugged into banks, liquidity rails, and real-world flows. And when regulation hits? XRP’s already in the front row. If it becomes global settlement infrastructure… $100 XRP is just math. 1,000 XRP = $100K. Moon math? Maybe. But this market runs on chaos and catalysts. Still holding? Or sold too soon? XRP MAXIS, drop your target price. #xrp
Xrp is a repetitive rug pull, ripple and all its crypto influencers make retail buy massively and then start selling to take profit and drive the price back to cents,

🚨 XRP: Don’t Just Watch the Price — Listen to the Architect 🧠💥
The real alpha isn’t in the candles… it’s in the code.
While everyone’s watching $XRP go up and down, the real signals are coming from one man:
David Schwartz — Ripple’s CTO & XRP Ledger wizard. 🧙♂️
He’s been quietly dropping breadcrumbs across:
🎙️ Interviews
🧵 Reddit Threads

🔧 Codebase Updates
What’s David been hinting at?
✅ XRP Ledger Expansion — global payment rails are coming
Don't you see that this trash has already broken the support of 1.96 and 1.74, its next stop will be 1.50, and from there it will continue to fall until it is worth cents again.

🚀 $XRP : The Silent Player in a Global Financial Power Shift🔥
The global financial system just got shaken. China has launched its digital yuan network:
⚡ Instant payments
💸 No US dollar needed
🌐 Live 24/7 across 16 nations (38% of global trade)
This is Digital De-Dollarization in motion. And while the world watches, XRP might be stepping into the spotlight…
Here’s why: 🔍 Integrated with China’s 4th-largest payment processor 🤝 Quiet talks with Beijing for interbank settlements
⚡ 3-second transfers bridging digital currencies
The big question: Will China use XRP to connect its system globally? Or shut it down as a rival?
Two outcomes: 1️⃣ Fragmented finance – USD vs CNY vs XRP 2️⃣ XRP becomes the neutral bridge currency the world needs
One thing’s clear…
The dollar’s reign is under threat, and XRP could be the ace up someone’s sleeve.
$XRP Bull Run Ahead , Buy Now for huge profits🔥👇🏻

In previous articles, I established that bitcoin was dropping below 75,000, finding a new ceiling at 80,000, just like with XRP going below 1.70 to later form new resistances in the 1.96-2.00 level!!!! I took a bit more than I had forecasted, but the ping pong effect is still in play!!!
As I already mentioned, BTC formed a new ceiling at 80,000 dollars and touched 74,000; its next initial drop will take us to levels of 72,000, and then it will continue to fall deeper below 70,000, but how low will it go? Clearly, the trend line of new ceilings getting lower is an indication of an entry into a bear market after having touched ATH in January. BTC will slowly head towards the 50,000 level and will find clear support in the range of 45,000 to 50,000!!! It will then rebound towards the area of 125,000 - 150,000!!!!
Regarding XRP, it's another story repeating itself again. I believe that all these ignorant YouTubers keep saying that the rise is coming, that XRP will be at 10,000, 1,000, or 100 dollars in a matter of months; at this point, even 10 dollars sounds ridiculous!!! But what is the story that always repeats with this pathetic token? In 4 different cycles, it has gone from being worth cents to entering ranges of 1.80-3.30, only to then fall back to being worth cents!!!! But what is the mystery surrounding this repetitive movement in each bullish and bearish cycle? I will summarize it in brief words: 100 billion tokens!!!!!! Additionally, the monthly release of tokens from escrow will not allow the token to reach a point of scarcity sentiment, but what do they expect? That the demand from the SEC, ETFs, and adoption will end? It sounds like a broken record always saying the same thing. This garbage will head towards 1.50, then fall directly to 1 dollar, and finally return to where it started at 0.30-0.40!!!
Brother, what is your vision for this April 2nd and 3rd regarding tariffs? Do you think the market, XRP, and BTC will continue to drop? If so, please share a bit about this?
If it is the most likely thing to happen, however with Trump anything can be expected, if he does not impose tariffs perhaps the market will recover a little,

XRP: A Centralized Stablecoin in Disguise?
As XRP secures deals with governments and SWIFT, its primary focus appears to be price stability rather than appreciation. With 100 billion pre-mined tokens and 50 billion released gradually, XRP functions more like a centralized, traceable stablecoin than a traditional cryptocurrency. $XRP
Why Price Stability Matters
If the U.S. government were to purchase $10 billion in XRP for international payments, a sudden price surge could force bulk sales to maintain stability. By the time the recipient cashes out, XRP’s value could drop significantly—a scenario that mirrors the behavior of USDT or USD rather than an asset designed for appreciation.
XRP’s Unique Control Features
One of the most surprising aspects of XRP is its ability to reverse transactions to prevent fraud or errors, reinforcing its role as a fully traceable exchange currency.
The Bigger Question: What About Crypto’s Original Purpose?
Cryptocurrency was initially created to enable untraceable transactions, bypassing oversight from entities like the CIA, FBI, KGB, and tax authorities. If full traceability becomes standard, it could fundamentally alter the crypto ecosystem, challenging its decentralized and permissionless nature.
Is XRP revolutionizing global payments or undermining crypto’s core principles? That’s the real debate.
🚨 $XRP : The Sleeping Giant or the Biggest Exit Liquidity Scam? 🚨
XRP was the king of cross-border payments… but is it really the future? 🤔
📉 Facts You Can’t Ignore: ❌ Still stuck in legal drama while other coins are mooning. 🏛️ ❌ Massive pumps = insider exit liquidity? Look at that 3.4 to 1.77 crash! 👀 ❌ Banks are moving away from XRP, while new players like USDT and CBDCs take over.
🔥 But Wait… Bulls Will Tell You: ✅ It’s a Ripple-backed revolution for banking transactions. ✅ If they win against the SEC, $10 XRP is a joke—some say $100+! 🚀 ✅ Whales are accumulating silently—are they preparing for a blast-off? 🐋
💥 So What’s The Truth? XRP is either the most undervalued gem or the greatest bag-holding nightmare. Are you buying or dumping?
Drop a 💎🙌 if you’re holding strong—OR a 💩 if $XRP is a scam! LET’S FIGHT! 🔥⚔️
Where is XRP heading and why, despite all the good news, is this token not moving?
Well, let's go straight to what is taboo for most: prices will always be governed by the law of supply versus demand. What does this mean? A greater supply and constant demand will cause prices to stagnate or remain, in the best possible case or scenario, and the fact is that there are 100 trillion tokens issued!!! With almost more than 58 trillion in circulation and Ripple putting considerable amounts into the market monthly, it will be really difficult for the price to go up, especially considering the bearish market we have entered!!!!
But what is the natural cycle of XRP? Moving from being between 30 to 60 cents to rising to the two-dollar range or, in the best case, 3 dollars; this cycle has repeated itself more than 4 times!!! And this will not be the exception. We went from 3 dollars down to 2, touching 1.90, and the next drop we will touch 1.70, thus progressively from here until the end of the year to go below 1 dollar again. All this is explained in how the token, as it always reaches its upper limit of 3 dollars and starts to fall, begins to lose interest; the buying pressure is less than the selling pressure. Let's remember the price of XRP before the SEC lawsuit was just above 1 dollar!!!!
The famous YouTubers have attracted the unsuspecting with cheap speeches and absurd prices (1,000, 10,000, or even 100,000🤣🤣). Gentlemen, XRP has been in the market for more than 13 years; what makes you think that if in 13 years it hasn't been able to be worth more than 3 dollars, anything will change this time?
But what about adoption? What about demand running out, announcing ETFs, announcing partnerships? All this has already happened, and it barely reached 2.50 and couldn't hold.
BTC IS THE KING, IT IS GOLD, THE OTHERS ARE JUST DISTRACTION, I WILL ONLY SAY THIS: 21 MILLION TOKENS VS 100 TRILLION TOKENS, AND YES, MARKET CAP DOES MATTER!!!!
You bought the worst garbage there is, xrp not even all the whales buying at the same time would be able to move the price, there are 100 billion issued !!!!!

Goodbye Crypto. From December to March. Just in 4 months lost about $70000-$80000. I am done, I understood one thing, crypto is a gambling, specially future & margins. Lost all hope. Now leaving this crypto world forever.
Hahaha if in 14 years he couldn't even reach 5 dollars, will he reach 1,000 in 3 years? Stop repeating such nonsense, he can't even reach 5 dollars 😂😂😂😂

5,000 XRP at the current price would be 12.000$ . That same 5,000 if XRP reached the price of 1000$ would be 5,000,000 million of $ . Do you think it's impossible for XRP to reach that price? There are many here who are not willing to wait 4 to 5 years ✌️👌👌 Time will pass anyway, so let's wait calmly and without hurry.
