XRP Holders Ask if Investors Face Another 5 or 10 Years of Misery as Schwartz Defends Long-Term XRP Value Capture

Former Ripple CTO David Schwartz says it is difficult to imagine the XRP Ledger becoming successful without XRP eventually capturing a meaningful share of that value, but the assurance has done little to quiet frustration among some long-term holders. “I really do think it’s hard to believe we will end up in a world where XRPL is successful but XRP fails to capture a good fraction of that value,” Schwartz said in his latest response to the ongoing XRP utility debate. The comment extends Schwartz’s argument that XRP’s long-term value proposition rests on its privileged position within the XRP Ledger rather than transaction fees alone. XRP currently trades near $1.09, while CoinMarketCap data shows the asset down roughly 22% over the past month.
