Odaily Planet Daily News Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse posted on the X platform to clarify that XRP and Ripple shares are completely different. Linqto is an independent company that acquired Ripple shares from some existing shareholders. Ripple was able to confirm that Linqto holds 4.7 million shares of Ripple, which should be reassuring. However, Ripple does not know how Linqto manages the participants who sell "representative units" of Ripple shares to it, so there is no guarantee about Linqto's business practices and how they will handle this matter now. The good news is that the value of Ripple shares has risen sharply over time, and for "Linqto unit holders", these shares should bring considerable benefits.
