XRP Ledger Foundation denies rumor: Ripple will not abandon XRP

Once the XRP Ledger Foundation is established, Ripple will continue to invest in the future of the XRP Ledger, according to Bharath Chari.

The newly formed foundation will not take over the non-circulating XRP supply from Ripple.

Bharath Chari, the spokesman of the newly founded XRP Ledger Foundation (XRPLF), which was established on September 24, denied the rumor in an interview with Forbes that Ripple will not invest in the development of the XRP Ledger in the future.

 The rumor came up within the XRP community right after the foundation, as the newly formed foundation is supposed to drive the growth, innovation as well as the development of the XRP Ledger and the community.


These main tasks have created confusion within the community because they overlap with those of Ripple to some extent. However, Chari rejected speculation that the XRP Ledger Foundation would lead the future development of XRPL while Ripple would not invest as heavily in the future of XRPL.

 According to the XRPLF spokesperson, Ripple will continue to play a key role in the development:

We don’t see this as being the case at all, even though this question is better answered by Ripple.

 As in the case of many open-source projects, stakeholder companies invest time and resources in helping develop it.


 


The XRPLF sees Ripple in a continued role as a key developer on both the technical and business aspects of the XRPL.

 Furthermore, the XRPLF is only an entity that promises to act in the best interests of the XRPL.

There is no question of controlling an open, decentralized ecosystem like the XRPL.

Regarding the non-circulating supply of XRP under Ripple’s control, the Forbes correspondent asked if Ripple will transfer a large portion of the non-circulating supply to the XRPLF to make the XRP Ledger more decentralized. Chari replied:

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
