Ripple CEO Discloses Significant Modification: No More XRP Updates Expected
Headline: Ripple Bids Farewell to Regular XRP Reports: Is This a New Beginning or a Stormy Weather?
In an unexpected turn of events, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has made an announcement that the company will no longer publish quarterly XRP markets reports. However, don't freak out, as the company is still keeping its transparency promise, but in a more casual, fragmented manner through social media and blog posts.
This change comes after Garlinghouse claimed that the transparency provided by the reports was "weaponized" by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which sued Ripple back in 2020. The regulator, as it turns out, referenced some of the company's disclosures in its argument that XRP is not sufficiently decentralized.
So, what's the big deal? Well, the worry is that this change might lead to confusion and speculation in the crypto market, as stakeholders value the transparency that these reports provide. But worry not, Ripple is still committed to transparency, even though the regular weigh-ins are now a thing of the past.
As a reminder, Ripple’s latest report, which was the last one released in the traditional format, revealed that the company holds nearly 45.86 billion tokens. This sum includes both Ripple’s XRP holdings and the tokens that are currently locked in escrow. The tokens controlled by the company are worth close to $99 billion at current prices.
As we inch closer to the future, it's essential to keep a watchful eye on Ripple's evolving strategies. While this shift might seem like a tremor, it could potentially ripple out effects that are yet to be seen.
