The post ‘XRP to Tor’: Ripple Chief Architect Unveils ‘Doomsday’ Plan to Resist Authoritarian Takeovers appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The blockchain industry has long debated whether any network can survive a direct attack from a powerful authoritarian state. During a renewed discussion, Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz finally addressed this question for XRP, saying that XRP Ledger (XRPL) is ready to completely rewrite its “DNA” and go underground technologically, but not submit to external pressure. Against the backdrop of news about sanctions evasion and attempts by authoritarian regimes to interfere with distributed ledgers, users asked Schwartz a direct question: what happens if nodes start being physically raided? Why dictators are powerless against XRPL The crypto industry veteran’s answer was cold-blooded as Schwartz admitted that intelligence services are capable of causing local and short-term disruptions, but long-term control over the network is impossible.

The post Ripple set for mega 2026 sixth 1 billion XRP dump tomorrow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ripple is set to unlock 1 billion XRP from escrow on June 1, 2026, marking the fifth scheduled token escrow release of the year. At XRP’s current price of around $1.35, the release carries a headline value of roughly $1.35 billion, making it one of the largest recurring token unlock events. Despite concerns over large XRP unlocks, Ripple typically re-locks 60% to 80% of released tokens, limiting net supply additions to roughly 200 million to 400 million XRP, worth about $272 million to $544 million at current prices. The released tokens are mainly used for operations, liquidity, partnerships, and ecosystem growth, while the escrow system helps manage supply dilution. The Ripple XRP escrow unlock is part of the company’s long-established monthly release mechanism that has been in place since December 2017. Impact on XRP price The system was designed to improve transparency aroun

XRP trades at $1.34 in a narrow consolidation range while technical indicators signal indecision. The path to $2.00+ requires breaking above $1.38, but failure to hold $1.26 could trigger deeper lo…
Current Market Position XRP sits at $1.34, trapped in a tight consolidation pattern that reflects broader market uncertainty. The recent 2.02% daily move higher provides little conviction given the asset’s struggle to establish clear directional momentum. Trading volume remains subdued, suggesting institutional players are waiting for clearer signals before committing significant capital. The cryptocurrency faces immediate resistance at $1.37-$1.38, where previous rallies have stalled. This level coincides with short-term moving averages that have acted as dynamic resistance throughout recent sessions. Meanwhile, support emerges
The post Can Russia Exploit XRP Ledger? Ripple CTO Emeritus Addresses Geopolitical Security Risks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz weighed in on how resilient the XRP Ledger is to nation-states interfering with blockchain networks this week. His remarks responded to queries of Russia using the XRPL to bypass traditional systems. David Schwartz Responds To Fears of Russia Exploiting XRP Ledger One X user wrote, “I am concerned about geopolitical security. How resilient is the XRPL consensus mechanism against state-level interference? They also asked, “Could an authoritarian regime like Putin’s co-opt or disrupt the UNL/validator network to weaponize the ledger?” In response to the conversation, Schwartz agreed that governments might be able to pose short-term issues to blockchain networks. However, he noted that such disruptions may not cause long-term harm. “It would not surprise me if state level actors could cause temporary disruptions of blockc
The post XRP price rebound? Exchange outflows and ETFs lift recovery hopes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
XRP traded near $1.33 on May 31 as traders watched whether fresh exchange outflows, ETF demand and a key chart support area could help the token recover from recent weakness. Summary XRP saw 25.24 million coins leave exchanges after the year’s largest inflow signaled capitulation selling. ETF flows added $131.94 million this month, keeping institutional demand in focus despite weakness persisting. Analysts watch $1.34 support, with $1.37 and $1.40 as nearby recovery targets if buyers hold. Santiment data showed that XRP recorded its largest exchange inflow of the year on Thursday, with 22.80 million XRP moving onto trading platforms. Large exchange inflows often draw attention because they can show that holders are preparing to sell. However, the move quickly reversed. Santiment said another 25.24 million XRP moved back off exchanges after the inflow. That shift suggests some
The post Could XRP Hit $10 This Bull Run? World’s Highest IQ Holder Thinks So appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
XRP investment products pulled in close to $12 million in a single day on May 29, pushing total net inflows to roughly $1.42 billion — the token’s strongest ETF month of 2026 so far. Yet despite that institutional interest, XRP is still trading near $1.34, far below where some of its loudest supporters say it should be. A Fresh Target From A Familiar Voice YoungHoon Kim, who claims the title of world’s highest-IQ holder, posted a pointed statement on X this week: XRP will reach between $5 and $10 this cycle. A day earlier, he had teased that the token was about to explode — and the price target followed shortly after, drawing immediate attention across crypto social media.
