Ripple Ex-CTO David Schwartz Reveals XRP's Wealth Impact

David Schwartz, former CTO of Ripple, disclosed that XRP has generated more personal wealth for him than any other cryptocurrency, despite his gradual reduction in digital asset exposure. According to BeInCrypto, Schwartz, who helped design the XRP Ledger, revealed on X that he once held 26 million XRP, alongside 1,000 Bitcoin (BTC) and 40,000 Ethereum (ETH) tokens. His early XRP allocation yielded larger lifetime returns than his Bitcoin or Ethereum investments. Schwartz admitted to selling Ethereum at $1.05 and reducing his Bitcoin holdings prematurely, reflecting his risk-averse investment approach.
