David Schwartz, former CTO of Ripple and a prominent figure in the XRP Ledger, made a noteworthy statement regarding his personal XRP holdings.
According to David Schwartz, in a post on the X platform, he stated that he once held approximately 26 million XRP, but this amount has decreased to approximately 2 million XRP over time.
A Decrease of 24 Million XRP!
Schwartz’s statement came in response to a user’s question about the size of his personal XRP holdings. The former Ripple executive stated that his XRP holdings reached approximately 26 million tokens at their peak, and today he holds around 2 million XRP.
These figures mean Schwartz has reduced his XRP position by approximately 92 percent.
Schwartz has previously stated that he has gradually reduced his XRP holdings and that risk management has played a significant role in these decisions.
In previous statements made in 2026, he said that he preferred to reduce his position as the XRP price rose, stating that holding large amounts of cryptocurrency posed a significant risk for him and that he disliked taking risks.
However, there is no detailed information on when and at what price Schwartz reduced his XRP holdings from 26 million XRP to the current 2 million XRP. Therefore, the statement reveals the total change in his personal XRP holdings over time, not a specific sales transaction.
