$XRP Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz has addressed the recent wave of speculation linking Ripple, XRP, and Stellar to the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents โ and his message was clear and direct ๐
โ There is NO evidence of any connection between Epstein and Ripple, XRP, or Stellar.
In a post on X, Schwartz stated that there is no indication that anyone at Ripple or Stellar ever met Epstein or had any close association with him ๐๐
๐๏ธ Why the Rumors Started
The clarification came after new documents from Epsteinโs estate were released, sparking intense discussion across social media ๐ฅ๐ฑ
Some online commentators speculated that Ripple and XRP might appear in the files โ fueling unnecessary concern within the crypto community.
๐ Whatโs Actually in the Released Files
The newly released documents include:
๐ง Emails
๐ฌ Communications
๐ฐ Financial records
These materials had not previously been public, leading analysts and crypto commentators to closely examine them for potential links ๐๐
One email shared on X mentioned Ripple and Stellar in a discussion about funding allocations and ecosystem development. The context?
๐ Early investor preferences about not supporting multiple competing crypto projects at the same time โ๏ธ
โ ๏ธ Important clarification:
This email does NOT indicate direct involvement with Epstein
No meetings, funding, or transactions involving Ripple or XRP are suggested
The discussion reflects general investor concerns, not operational or financial ties ๐ง ๐
๐งฉ Speculation vs. Reality
The mention of Ripple and Stellar in these documents led to speculation that Ripple might be linked to Epstein in some way ๐ค
However, documentation and analysis confirm:
โ Ripple and XRP were not funded by Epstein
โ There was no operational or financial involvement
Schwartz also noted that Epstein had indirect connections to some individuals in the crypto space โ mainly those associated with Bitcoin โ๏ธ
He emphasized that such indirect links are common among wealthy individuals and do not imply any connection to Ripple or Stellar.
โ No Direct Ties โ Case Closed
Schwartzโs statement provides reassurance to the XRP community ๐ก๏ธ
XRP and Ripple are not implicated in the Epstein files
Operations remain independent and unaffected
Ripple continues advancing its role in cross-border payments and financial infrastructure ๐๐ธ
๐ The key takeaway:
Names appearing in emails do not equal involvement. These documents should be reviewed carefully, without jumping to conclusions based on partial information โ ๏ธ๐
Instead, investors should stay focused on Rippleโs real progress and impact in the financial sector ๐
Schwartzโs comments offer clear, definitive guidance โ confirming that XRP, Ripple, and Stellar remain completely separate from the Epstein speculation.
๐ข Transparency matters.
๐ข Facts matter.
๐ข And in this case โ the facts are clear.
