What Schwartz said

David Schwartz, a former executive at Ripple, said he sold holdings of XRP, ether and bitcoin, according to a report by CriptoNoticias published on 11 November 2026. The report says he described the sales as a response to risk.

Schwartz said he scheduled the liquidations with lawyers, according to the same report. He said the purpose was to avoid accusations that he had traded on confidential information, meaning material facts about a company that are not public.

The report names three assets: XRP, ether and bitcoin. It gives no breakdown of how much of each he sold, and no total figure for the sales.

What the report does not say

The account rests on a single report. It carries no comment from Ripple, and it does not say whether the company knew about the sales in advance.

It is also not clear from the report when Schwartz left Ripple or what role he held at the time of the sales. He is described only as a former executive.

The report does not state the dates of the sales, the venues where they were executed, or whether any of them were reported to a regulator. Whether the liquidations are complete is not stated either.
