XRP Finally Got Its Own X Account and 111K People Showed up Overnight

XRP’s official X account, run by Ripple and the XRPL Foundation, passed 111,000 followers within about 13 hours of its first post, and its debut ad has already drawn more 3.7 million views. The @XRP handle was created on Oct. 15 but sat silent for four days. At 16:08 UTC on Oct. 19, the first post landed with a simple “hello, world. It’s about time” and Ripple replied six minutes later, saying: Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse weighed in on the development , as did Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz, who asked whether it was “time for the Grateful Dead to create an @XRP song.” Within three hours of its creation, the account had already passed 56,000 followers and at press time, the account had cleared the 111,000 mark.
