<p>Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz recently took a firm stance amidst a heated debate surrounding the alleged dumping of XRP by <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-moves-180-mln-xrp-igniting-curiosity-price-dip-below-0-5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a>. He refuted claims of allegations of keeping XRP sales data hidden and emphasized transparency and the company’s commitment to responsible sales practices.</p>

<p>In a statement addressing concerns raised by various stakeholders, Schwartz expressed disappointment in misinterpretation of <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-dumps-120-mln-xrp-after-sec-gains-upper-hand-in-legal-quandary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP sales</a> by Ripple. He stated, “I don’t really understand why people think it matters so much exactly how we sell XRP.”</p>

 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">I understand caring how much we sell, but honestly I don't really understand why people think it matters so much exactly how we sell XRP. Yes, we choose when to sell. Yes, we choose how much to sell. And everyone can see how much XRP comes out of escrow and how much goes back in.</p>

<p>He emphasized the transparency surrounding Ripple’s sales decisions. Answering most of the queries asked by the XRP community, the Ripple CTO replied to a post on X and noted, “Yes, we choose how much to sell. And everyone can see how much XRP comes out of escrow and how much goes back in.”</p>
<p>Earlier, Schwartz clarified Ripple’s actions, by highlighting that the company had ceased programmatic XRP sales in the first quarter of FY24. However, an XRP supporter accused Ripple and its CTO of “misleading” people with the wrong information as they ‘failed’ to notify that they conduct XRP On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) sales.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">"Failing to mention that they started to sell that amount trough ODL transactions."</p>

<p>The <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-cto-weighs-in-on-ex-employees-and-xrpl-developments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple CTO</a> strongly refuted the above-mentioned claims. Responding to the user who slashed allegations on Ripple, Schwartz shared a snapshot of the company’s statement wherein they made it clear that they have stopped programmatic sales of XRP but ODL sales are still in function.</p>

<p>Amidst the debate, Bill Morgan, a lawyer who follows Ripple updates closely, weighed in on the matter and distinguished between “dumping” and “selling.” He stated, “Dump however in the context it is being used… means selling to an extent that suppresses <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-whale-shuffles-203-mln-tokens-will-price-hit-0-58/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP price</a>.” Furthermore, Morgan emphasized the need to differentiate between sales strategies and their effects on market dynamics, urging the XRP community to base their arguments on evidence rather than speculation.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">You state “dump/sell”. Nice rhetorical trick conflating the two. Dump however in the context it is being used in the current discourse in the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/XRPcommunity?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#XRPcommunity</a> means selling to an extent that suppresses XRP price or causes it to fall, meaning it is a significant driver of XRP price… <a href="https://t.co/tyLBGXle0N" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/tyLBGXle0N</a></p>

<p>In addition, he highlighted that HBAR’s circulating supply increased from 15 billion to 33 billion and its price is still higher than two years ago due to absorption of supply by smart money. Connecting it to the XRP scenario, he wrote, “People in the #XRPcommunity carrying on about Ripple dumping should listen to this and draw some lessons.”</p>
<p>Journalist Zach Rector, who frequently covers updates on XRP, noted that Ripple isn’t dumping XRP. Rector made a bold statement in a recent <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/quZ1vlGtOnc?si=Kf-g8x2W0yAIxDEP" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> and blamed the retail investors for XRP’s doom. He stated, “The irony of this whole situation is we come to find out it’s actually the retail investors who have been dumping XRP. Not Ripple.”</p>
