币界网报道：Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse clarified the company's limited business ties with Linqto, a struggling private investment platform that recently laid off staff. While Ripple had previously partnered with Linqto to facilitate XRP purchases for accredited investors, Garlinghouse emphasized this was a "very small pilot program" that ended years ago. The statement comes as Linqto faces financial difficulties, with reports of delayed payroll and potential bankruptcy. Garlinghouse noted Ripple currently has no active relationship with Linqto, distancing the blockchain firm from the platform's troubles. Linqto had enabled investors to buy shares in pre-IPO companies including Ripple, but its future remains uncertain amid operational challenges.
