Who is Arthur Britto, the Ripple ‘ghost’ who just broke 14 years of silence?

After 14 years of remaining silent, Arthur Britto, co-founder of Ripple Labs, made his first post on Twitter. This rare appearance was met with excitement in the crypto community, resulting in an increase of 8.1% in XRP prices shortly after.

Ripple co-founder David Schwartz reaffirmed that Britto is a real person who values his privacy. Prior to this, conspiracy theories questioned his existence. Britto’s previous contributions include co-founding NewCoin, which became Ripple Labs.
