Ripple Co-Founder’s Profiting Raises Concerns as XRP Price Dips

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has recently profited significantly from his XRP holdings since 2018, reaching a remarkable $764 million in realized gains. These sales have coincided with XRP prices declining, raising concerns among some investors about the impact on XRP’s price performance. 2025 saw a significant increase in Larsen’s profit as he offloaded XRP, with figures surpassing $200 million from earlier years. Analyst J.A. Maartunn, citing this trend and Larsen’s history of selling near market highs, suggests that his actions could be contributing to the downward trend.
