Ripple's Tech Pioneer Stepping Back—But Not Out

robot
Abstract generation in progress

Ripple CTO David Schwartz just announced he’s calling it quits on the CTO gig by end of 2025. This guy’s been the backbone of XRP Ledger for 13+ years—basically since day one—so it’s kind of a big deal.

Here’s the thing though: he’s not ghosting. Schwartz is staying on the board and keeping his hands in company decisions. Think of it like trading the daily grind for the big-picture play.

What does this mean?

  • New CTO incoming—Ripple’s hunting for fresh leadership
  • Schwartz legacy stays embedded in XRP’s DNA via the board seat
  • Signals potential generational shift at Ripple as it scales

The move hits different if you’re holding XRP bags—it’s either “trusted vet stepping back after crushing 13 years” or “instability risk.” Market will tell us which narrative sticks.
