A brief statement from David Schwartz has ignited a storm of commentary across the XRP community. The announcement was spotlighted by influencer Crypto X AiMan on X, who urged holders to listen closely.
In his clip, he said: “If you hold XRP right now, the CTO of Ripple just dropped a huge warning on XRP.” That line alone sent many scrambling for further detail.
Clarification of Escrow Rights
According to Schwartz, Ripple Labs retains the ability to sell or transfer the rights to receive XRPs from escrow even if the tokens themselves remain locked and non-circulating until their scheduled release. This nuance — separating legal claims from circulating supply — was previously little discussed.

Why The Distinction Matters
Holding a legal claim to a token is different from holding a token in one’s wallet. Schwartz emphasized that even if Ripple transfers a right or account, the underlying token remains escrowed until unlocked. This raises questions about how supply and market cap are calculated for XRP.
Institutional Access and Behind-The-Scenes Deals
AiMan’s clip suggested that large institutions could acquire these rights directly from Ripple: “The U.S Government can buy XRP from Ripple at today’s prices instead of waiting years,” he warned.
Such a mechanism could let major players accumulate without entering open markets — and without immediately increasing circulating supply. If true, this could shift the landscape of how institutions view XRP.

Implications for XRP Holders
For retail holders, the development does not imply an imminent flood of tokens into the market. The key contours remain: tokens still locked in escrow cannot circulate prematurely.
But the changed perception of “available” supply could affect valuation models, investor sentiment, and how risk is assessed in the XRP ecosystem.
Bottom Line
David Schwartz’s remark didn’t alter the escrow release schedule. But by clarifying Ripple’s right to legally trade claims, he exposed a previously opaque dimension of how XRP supply and institutional access might function.
As Crypto X AiMan highlighted in his post: “If you hold XRP right now, this is your warning.” Readers should closely monitor official Ripple releases for further clarification and conduct independent analysis before making investment decisions.
