Ripple ‘should act in its own interest’ when selling XRP — Ripple CTO
“Ripple can, will, and should act in its own interest,” said David “JoelKatz” Schwartz in response to criticism regarding the firm’s XRP sales.
Ripple Labs is free to sell XRP tokens to raise operational capital, according to comments from the company’s chief technology officer. His remarks have sparked concerns among cryptocurrency investors.
“XRP isn’t a security because Ripple doesn’t actually owe you ‘utility’ or anything else,” Pierre Rochard, vice president of research at Riot Platforms, wrote in a March 5 X post.
“They are free to dump on you and you have no right to do anything about it other than join them in dumping XRP,” Rochard said, cautioning that investors are “not investing in Ripple,” just “getting tokens created out of thin air dumped on you.”
