James Seyffart, Bloomberg’s senior crypto analyst, sparked controversy after making a joke about XRP at a Bitcoin conference. The event attracted international attention after an X user, Subjective Views, tweeted about Seyffart’s comments during an interview with BlackRock’s Head of Digital Assets.
The tweet stated that Seyffart’s XRP joke elicited rapid criticism from the XRP community on social media, demonstrating the sensitivity and dedication of XRP fans.

Recognizing the backlash, Seyffart turned to Twitter, where he <a href="https://x.com/JSeyff/status/1816890242777121153" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">noted</a> that the XRP community was seeking to cancel him over a joke. His initial reaction appeared casual, implying that he was not unduly bothered by the criticism he received.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
 For all the XRP guys in my mentions. I don't hate XRP. It was a joke geared toward my audience and a joke that landed well. Hell — I'm absolutely rooting for Ripple in court against SEC. I personally think the SEC has vastly over-reached in many areas including with Ripple/XRP.…

To address the unfavorable reactions more seriously, Seyffart clarified his views in a subsequent tweet. He made it clear that he does not dislike <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/pro-ripple-xrp-lawyer-holds-80-of-net-worth-in-crypto/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> and that the joke was intended to entertain his audience.
Furthermore, he indicated his support for Ripple in its continuing legal struggle with the SEC, denouncing what he saw as the agency’s overreach.
Also, Seyffart suggested that if a lighthearted joke offended the community so much, they should reassess their priorities and adopt a more laid-back attitude. His objective was to reassure the XRP community that he supported Ripple while also encouraging them to take his joke lightly.
This occurrence occurs at a time when XRP’s market performance has been impressive. According to CoinMarketCap, the price of XRP was about $0.6081 at the time of writing, representing a 1.87% increase over the last 24 hours. Furthermore, XRP has reflected a bullish trend in the last week, gaining by 2.85%.

More impressively, XRP has outperformed Ethereum (ETH), rising 34.24% over the past two weeks, according to a prior CNF <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/xrp-outshines-ethereum-with-34-24-performance-boost-over-two-weeks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a>. Experts are confident about XRP’s future, anticipating that the asset will rise even further.
Furthermore, as we previously <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ripples-stuart-alderotty-donates-300k-in-xrp-to-donald-trumps-campaign-fund/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">highlighted</a>, Stuart Alderotty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, made news when he donated $300,000 worth of XRP to Donald Trump’s campaign. This donation was converted to USDC in accordance with Trump’s campaign policy of accepting cryptocurrency donations.
This move by Alderotty demonstrates Ripple and its executives continuous involvement and influence in the broader financial and political landscapes.
