In a long message in X, Schwartz described his 13 years in the company as one of the best honors of his life, secondly only for his family.
As happens in one’s life, I’ve been taking stock of my last 40 years. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve gone from consulting for the NSA to watching the early stages of Bitcoin. Then, I met Arthur, Jed, and Chris and worked on coding the XRP Ledger. Now, I’ve spent more than 13 years…

XRP price technical analysis
XRP is quoted in a consolidation phase. The impulse indicators are mainly neutral, with the stochastic oscillator near the average levels and the relative resistance index in 45. There is no different trend, as evidenced by the basic product channel index and the final oscillator that remain in neutral territory.
Mobile averages paint a little bearish Short -term image, with most EME in the short term and signaling SMAs are sold. However, the averages of 100 days and 200 days continue to point out the underlying force and the long -term support for the Token. The decrease in volatility, which often precedes a break, is indicated by the narrowing of Bollinger bands.
If bulls recover the impulse, a closure above the resistance level of $ 2.98 could open the road to $ 3.17, with more space to function if a wider market feeling Turn the risk. On the other hand, the lack of maintenance above the support level of $ 2.71 would weaken the configuration and expose XRP to a possible withdrawal towards the range of $ 2.60.
