Lawyer Bill Morgan sheds light on Ripple’s strategy of avoiding public discussion about XRP, revealing it stems from legal advice and a desire to avoid regulatory scrutiny. He explains that the company has taken a deliberate approach by refraining from commenting on false claims or correcting misinformation due to potential SEC intervention and linking investor expectations. According to Morgan, this cautious approach, initiated around 2018, led Ripple to largely stay silent on XRP-related topics, opting for indirect methods of building utility. The lawyer compares Ripple’s strategy to the stark contrast in how Bitcoin advocates like Michael Saylor openly promote their cryptocurrencies, highlighting the legal limitations imposed upon Ripple by regulatory agencies. He argues that this difference explains why XRP’s promotion has looked different from other cryptocurrencies, prompting a narrative primarily shaped outside of Ripple’s direct control. For holders of XRP, Morgan’s insights provide valuable context on Ripple’s silence, showing that it wasn’t due to lack of confidence in the token but rather stemmed from legal risks involved in public communication about its value or potential market impact.
