The post Ripple CTO Emeritus Details Hidden Tech Keeping XRP Safe From Big Money appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The public acknowledgment by Charles Hoskinson, who described the XRPL architecture as “very elegant,” sparked new debates about the network’s actual decentralization. Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz stepped into the discussion to explain how the ledger protects itself from covert capture by large corporations. Schwartz points to a classic paradox – in cryptocurrencies, capital usually rules. Large corporations can afford expensive hardware and entire engineering teams, which is why their nodes and validators operate flawlessly and without interruptions. How XRPL stops big tech from buying out the network According to Schwartz, if the creators of XRP Ledger had focused only on achieving perfect technical stability, the network would have quickly fallen under the full control of a handful of IT giants.

XRP has been trading above $1.40 in recent days, with buyers still trying to push on momentum after the pullback from the May 10 high. The cryptocurrency’s price has not broken down, but it has also failed to confirm a stronger upside continuation. This leaves the 1-hour chart in an important position. However, the XRP count is still valid. The current wave count now depends on notable price levels, which include whether XRP can hold above support at $1.40 and avoid a break below the key $1.38 swing low. XRP Pullback From May 10 Still Looks Corrective Technical analysis of XRP’s price action on the 1-hour chart, which was posted by a crypto analyst on the social media platform X, shows that the decline from the May 10 high has not been random noise.
