XRP Investor & HODLer

[David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz @JoelKatz]

As happens in one’s life, I’ve been taking stock of my last 40 years. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve gone from consulting for the NSA to watching the early stages of Bitcoin. Then, I met Arthur, Jed, and Chris and worked on coding the XRP Ledger. Now, I’ve spent more than 13 years at Ripple.

I can’t begin to explain the depth of my gratitude to this company, the people who work here, and the community that surrounds XRPL. It’s been one of the greatest honors and experiences of my life, second only to my amazing family.

The time has come for me to step back from my day-to-day duties as Ripple CTO at the end of this year. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with the kids and grandkids and going back to the hobbies I set aside. But be warned, I’m not going away from the XRP community. You haven’t seen the last of me (now, or ever).

The last few months I’ve been tinkering on the side – spinning up my own XRPL node and publishing its output data, researching other use cases for XRP (besides what Ripple is focused on), and more. I truly enjoy this part — getting my hands dirty, talking to builders, coding for the pure love of it — and I’m really excited to get back to that. More to come on this very soon, I’m sure.

But back to gratitude — to Brad and Monica — leaders who have been here nearly as long as I have, and are the very soul of Ripple itself. To Chris, who took a huge leap of faith and never wavered. To Arthur, who had the big ideas every time we needed them. To the RippleX team, ledger developers, community members, builders, and everyone else — it’s been an honor being in the trenches with you all. Thank you for everything you have done for the XRPL. I have total confidence in the next generation of leaders and builders – including Dennis Jarosch (Ripple’s SVP of Engineering) – and far too many others to name in the XRP community who will carry the torch.

I’ll still be in and out of the Ripple office as CTO Emeritus, and as my last task at Ripple, Chris asked me to join Ripple's Board of Directors to continue supporting the company’s mission and long-term vision...and I accept!

I look forward to seeing the rest of you at XRP community events around the world.

See the angle from the goalkeepr's view. What a goal.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

Very excited to share that @BlackRock’s $BUIDL and @VanEck_US’s $VBILL tokenized fund holders can redeem shares for RLUSD/ETH 24/7 365 through @Securitize, and soon to come RLUSD/XRPL.

Enterprise-grade instant onchain liquidity at your fingertips. That’s real utility. https://t.co/A0zEHIIpel

As @jordanmdeaton’s lawyer and, more importantly, as her FATHER, I approve this message.

As amicus counsel, on behalf of 75K XRP holders, who may all not be named, but were 💯 percent an essential part of it all, I approve this message.

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

Following the Commission's vote today, the SEC and Ripple formally filed directly with the Second Circuit to dismiss their appeals.

The end…and now back to business.

[James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 @FilanLaw]

#XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP BREAKING: The parties have filed a Joint Dismissal of the Appeals. The case is over.

ICYMI in the midst of all the regulatory goodness last Friday…
@bluechip_org ranked $RLUSD as the *#1* most trusted stablecoin in the market.

[Blockchain Backer @BCBacker]

$XRP is the greatest digital asset of all time.

[fujimond @fujimond]

@BCBacker Congrats and Thank you BCB🙏

The last major financial regulation bill was passed 15 years ago in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
Tomorrow, the signing of the GENIUS Act cements the US’s future in being a leader in truly innovative financial technology – stablecoins. This moment is a historic one, and I, for one, am looking forward to all that is to come as a result of this transformational legislation.

Thank you to the bipartisan leaders that got it done – @RepFrenchHill, @GOPMajorityWhip, @CongressmanGT, @RepAngieCraig, @RepDustyJohnson, @RepDonDavis, @RepBryanSteil, @RepRitchie, @SpeakerJohnson, and @RepJoshG.

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

The GENIUS Act now goes to the President’s desk, and the CLARITY Act moves forward to the Senate – at long last, there’s movement on workable, clear frameworks for crypto and stablecoins that will both foster innovation and protect consumers. This is exactly what the American people have been asking for.

[Blockchain Backer @BCBacker]

Why are Bitcoiners so focused on throwing shade at XRP only? Because it re-emerged as a threat.

While XRP was a non-concern to Bitcoiners for years, XRP is suddenly threatening Bitcoin for the attention economy, right on the heels of the same amount of Google search volume:

🚨 🚨 WAKE UP!!!

This is why I believe $XRP is heading to $500.

Even Bitcoin maxis who used to bash it are now scared of its potential.
Watch this space 👀🔥

Another key milestone for RLUSD in the books – partnering with institutions like BNY to custody reserves ensures that RLUSD has the gold standard in regulatory compliance, further cementing our position as the go-to stablecoin for global enterprises.
