ZachXBT Denounces XRP as Exit Liquidity for Insiders

Blockchain detective ZachXBT has delivered a scathing critique against the XRP community. In a series of direct messages on Twitter, he questioned the role and value contributed by Ripple token investors.

“I am not currently assisting the XRP community and will mock anyone who sends me a private message,” he stated. He rejects any support for XRP holders. According to him, these investors “bring nothing of value to the industry, except exit liquidity for insiders.”

This attack echoes a long-standing debate in the crypto ecosystem, pitting projects focused on real utility against those more centered on speculation. ZachXBT seems to place XRP in the second category, alongside other altcoins like Cardano, Pulsechain, or Hedera.

Why Controversy Grows Despite an Already Weakened XRP

ZachXBT’s comments come as the XRP price is struggling. Although technical analysis suggests short-term upside potential, the token is finding it difficult to break out of a horizontal consolidation phase.

At the time of publication, XRP is trading at $3.01, up 0.21% on the day. A modest performance that illustrates the persistent challenges facing Ripple’s cryptocurrency.

Despite Ripple’s legal victories against the SEC and prospects of an XRP ETF, skepticism persists regarding the token’s actual utility. The harsh criticism from ZachXBT, respected for his on-chain investigations, contributes to fueling these doubts.

XRP supporters nevertheless highlight Ripple‘s partnerships with financial institutions and the use cases of its cross-border payment technologies. This debate illustrates the division between utility and speculation in the altcoin universe.

Comments That Divide the Crypto Community

The stance taken by ZachXBT, one of the most prominent blockchain investigators, will certainly have a lasting impact on the perception of Ripple within the crypto ecosystem. His scathing criticism of investors, described as “exit liquidity,” resonates as a warning against projects perceived as speculative.

Beyond the specific case of Ripple, this clash highlights the persistent challenges facing many altcoins, torn between their innovation potential and concerns about their true utility. The crypto community will need to continue navigating these troubled waters, seeking a balance between enthusiasm for new technologies and informed critical thinking.
