Overview
- Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz said his remaining crypto exposure is now almost only XRP and Ripple equity, adding the concentration was not planned.
- He said non-disclosure agreements limit what he can share about Ripple shares that trade in private secondary markets, and he stressed none require him to mislead holders.
- Schwartz pointed investors who want exposure to the company toward Ripple stock on secondary platforms, describing shares as a way to reduce direct crypto risk.
- He rejected extreme XRP price targets such as $10,000, arguing that if wealthy investors saw even a small chance of that outcome, current buying would likely have driven prices far higher already.
- At the time of reporting, XRP traded near $1.4, providing market context for his comments about realistic pricing and investor behavior.
