Ripple CTO David Schwartz has positive news for the XRP community. On June 23, 2025, Ripple co-founder Arthur Britto ended his decades-long silence and posted on his X account (formerly Twitter) for the first time in almost 14 years. The remarkable comeback consisted only of an emoji, which sparked speculation within the community about the motives and authenticity of his post. Some wondered if the account might have been hacked. However, Schwartz had assured that this was not the case.
Britto, who joined Platform This makes his latest contribution all the more notable since, in addition to Ripple, he is also a co-founder of other companies such as PolySign and Standard Custody & Trust Company. There is speculation that Britto's return could have strategic implications for Ripple at a time when the company is targeting institutional investors and may be pushing for SEC approval of an XRP ETF, as reported by Bloomberg.

As a result of Britto’s surprise post, XRP price rose 9% and is currently trading at $2.18. Analysts were bullish and highlighted that XRP price has regained solid support.

The mysterious character Britto

These factors contribute to the XRP community already speculating how Britto's return could affect the perception of Ripple and XRP, similar to how Satoshi Nakamoto's identity did to the Bitcoin community.

While more information about Britto's plans may still be pending, the XRP community remains curious about what decisions and strategies might follow.
