币界网报道：Ripple co-founder Arthur Britto has broken his 14-year public silence amid the company's ongoing legal battle with the U.S. SEC, revealing he still holds a significant amount of XRP. In a rare interview, Britto confirmed he never sold his XRP holdings despite the cryptocurrency's volatility, stating his long-term belief in the digital asset. The reclusive founder, who left Ripple in 2013, expressed support for current CEO Brad Garlinghouse's leadership during the SEC lawsuit alleging XRP is an unregistered security. Britto's comments come as Ripple prepares for the remedies phase of its legal case, with the SEC seeking $2 billion in penalties. While distancing himself from day-to-day operations, Britto emphasized his continued technical contributions to the XRP Ledger's development through pseudonymous work. His unexpected reappearance has sparked speculation within the XRP community about potential implications for the case's outcome.
