Ripple CTO states company will put its own interests first, hints at right to sell XRP to raise working capital
On 5 March, Cointelegraph reported that Ripple CTO David ‘JoelKatz’ Schwartz recently stated on social media that ‘Ripple can, will, and should act in its own self-interest. Investors should not expect Ripple to act in a way that benefits investors at the expense of the company and its shareholders.’ Suggesting that Ripple has the right to sell XRP tokens to raise working capital has raised concerns among cryptocurrency investors.
The comments came in response to criticism from Pierre Rochard, vice president of research at Riot Platforms, who warned investors that they ‘are not investing in Ripple, but are simply getting tokens created out of thin air. xRP is not a security because Ripple doesn't actually owe you “utility” or anything else. ' or anything else.’
In previous news, ZachXBT disclosed on his personal channel that Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen still holds more than 2.7 billion XRP, or about $7.18 billion.

Bitcoin Returns Reliant on Major Days -- Market Talk
1105 ET - Bitcoin's strong year-over-year returns are more linked to single days of strong moves, according to Zach Pandl of Grayscale in a note. Pandl says removing bitcoin's five best trading days reduces its three-year return from 225% to 95%, with the return falling to 27% without its 10 best days. If you remove the top fifteen days, it turns a three-year gain into an 11% loss. By comparison, removing the Nasdaq's fifteen best days reduces its cumulative return from 109% to 21%. "Given BTC's return and volatility profile, investors looking for long-term capital appreciation can avoid trying to time the market and instead seek consistent, long-term exposure to the asset," Pandl says. Bitcoin is down 0.2% to $85,610, while ethereum falls 0.2% to $2,701. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com) (END) Dow Jones Newswires October 05, 2026 11:05 ET (15:05 GMT)
