Arthur Britto, the enigmatic co-founder of Ripple, made his first public post on X since the company's inception in 2011. On Monday, he shared an emoji of a mouthless face, suggesting speechlessness. David Schwartz, another co-founder, confirmed that Britto's account was secure. Britto, along with Schwartz and Jed McCaleb, developed the XRP Ledger in 2012 and introduced the XRP token. He also co-founded NewCoin, which later became Ripple Labs. Known for his reclusive nature, Britto has never given an interview or public statement, leading to speculation about his existence. He is also the founder of PolySign and was previously listed as a director at Bitstamp. Britto's name appears in several legal cases, including the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple Labs. His privacy stems from personal reasons, as he prefers to avoid the public eye. Following his post, XRP saw an 8.1% increase, coinciding with a market rebound amid renewed optimism regarding geopolitical tensions. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
