Ripple Co-Founder Breaks Nearly 14 Years of Silence

The XRP community has been befuddled by the sudden activity of Ripple co-founder Arthur Britto on Elon Musk’s X social media platform.

Britto published a cryptic post that contains a single emoji, which seemingly teases a surprise.

Some have assumed that Britto’s account could be potentially hacked, asking David Schwartz, chief technical officer at Ripple, to verify whether Britto was actually behind the post.

Britto, who joined Twitter all the way back in 2011, has never posted on the social media platform.

The enigmatic Ripple co-founder was the subject of a lot of speculation. As reported by U.Today, Schwartz previously described him as “intensely private.” In fact, there are public photos or interviews with Britto.

Britto co-created the XRP Ledger together with Schwartz and McCaleb.
