In one of the most shocking shake-ups the crypto world has seen this year, David Schwartz — the man often called the architect of Ripple — has announced he’s stepping down as Chief Technology Officer after more than 13 years at the helm.

Brad Garlinghouse, the embattled CEO who steered Ripple through one of crypto’s most grueling legal fights, is closing out 2025 on a remarkable high note.

The SEC and Ripple have dropped their appeals, ending the long XRP lawsuit and letting the 2023 mixed ruling stand. XRP’s price jumped over 10% after the news, and Ripple will now focus on growing its business and moving forward.

Ripple’s chief technology officer, David Schwartz, has admitted that he had fabricated parts of the questions and answers from his interview with the rock band Black Sabbath in what was menat to be an authentic interview with fans.

Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, CZ is asking fans to not FOMO ("Fear of Missing out") for the Altcoin season, which he claims is imminent.

XRP has just experienced a significant rally with the price of the token jumping from $2.60 to $3.00. But this rally wasn't driven by major exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, but South Korea's Upbit.

Speaking at a CNBC interview, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse speculated that the stablecoin market would explore to nearly tenfold within the next few years.

In a bold and symbolic gesture, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has etched a pivotal moment in crypto legal history onto his skin.

Ripple’s Brad Garlinghouse is announcing that Ripple is finally putting their SEC case to an end once and for all, as the company prepares to withdraw its cross-appeal.

Ripple and the SEC have jointly asked a US court to lift a ban on XRP sales to institutions and cut Ripple’s fine from $125 million to $50 million. They hope this will end the long-running legal case before a key 16 June deadline.
