Ripple’s Origins: Ryan Fugger and the Early Days of a Financial Revolution

A recent tweet highlighting Ryan Fugger’s founding role in Ripple has sparked renewed interest in the project’s early history. Vandell, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, emphasized this connection with the tweet, stating, ‘Ryan Fugger Founded Ripple in 2004. Bitcoin was revealed in 2009. Years later.’ This sparked a response from Crypto Piggie, who questioned whether Ripple’s origin lay solely within the United States. To clarify, a historical timeline of Ripple’s development, outlining its beginnings in Canada and subsequent evolution under new leadership, was provided.
