In a moment that electrified the XRP community, Arthur Britto—co-founder of Ripple Labs and a key architect of the XRP Ledger—has posted on social media for the very first time.
His debut tweet, a simple emoji, was enough to spark excitement across the crypto world. Reported by Subjective Views on X, the post marks Britto’s first public engagement in over 14 years.
The Return of a Silent Pioneer
Arthur Britto is one of the most influential yet mysterious figures in the history of blockchain. Alongside David Schwartz and Jed McCaleb, Britto helped develop the XRP Ledger in 2011, an innovative blockchain designed for fast, scalable, and energy-efficient payments.

While other Ripple co-founders took on public roles, Britto chose a life away from the spotlight. He has not participated in interviews, events, or even social media, until now. That’s why his single emoji tweet has resonated so deeply. It wasn’t about what he said, but the fact that he spoke at all.
A Moment That Resonates
Britto’s tweet didn’t contain any commentary, announcements, or opinions. But for the XRP community, it didn’t need to. His silent re-entry into the conversation represents more than nostalgia, it’s a symbolic nod to the project he helped build, and a subtle affirmation of its continued relevance.

Subjective Views, who first highlighted the post, captured the significance of the moment: this wasn’t just a tweet, it was the digital equivalent of a legendary founder stepping back onto the stage after years of absence.
Reconnecting the Past with the Future
As the XRP Ledger continues to evolve, with developments in DeFi, tokenization, and smart contracts, Britto’s reappearance feels well-timed. Whether or not he plans to actively re-engage with the project remains unknown. But even this small gesture has reignited a sense of connection between XRP’s early foundations and its present-day ambitions.
For long-time supporters, Arthur Britto’s first tweet is more than a blip on the timeline, it’s a reminder of the vision, discipline, and quiet conviction that helped shape one of the most enduring platforms in crypto.
