Ripple CTO Emeritus reveals story behind XRP Ledger ‘100 TPS’ T-shirt

David Schwartz, Ripple CTO Emeritus and one of the primary architects behind the XRP Ledger (XRPL), has shared the unexpected background of a notable XRP-themed T-shirt first seen during the company’s Swell event. Schwartz clarified that the ‘speedometer’ design referencing the number 100 on his T-shirt was not meant to indicate XRP’s price, but rather a technical milestone for the network. Schwartz attracted the attention of the XRP community when he wore a T-shirt featuring a speedometer graphic pointing to 100. Some community members speculated that the figure represented an anticipated price level for XRP, leading to widespread interest in its true significance. The discussion gained momentum on X (formerly Twitter) after user @unknowDLT directly asked Schwartz about the meaning behind the shirt’s design.
