Ripple Backlash Grows After ZachXBT Calls XRP Insiders’ Game

The crypto community has found itself in another heated debate after blockchain investigator ZachXBT dismissed Ripple and its supporters in sharp terms. 

In a recent post, he argued that Ripple holders contribute “nothing of value to the industry except exit liquidity for insiders,” grouping XRP with Cardano, Pulsechain, and Hedera as projects “not worth supporting.”

ZachXBT’s Criticism of XRP

The remarks came in response to an X user, Ducky-Royal, who asked about an “XRP Ledger Forensics group” that could help trace and freeze stolen funds. Zach’s reply was straightforward: filing an IC3 report and tracing funds through exchanges was the only realistic option.

He added that “the Ripple foundation is cheap and no longer funds public goods” that educate or protect its community, contrasting Ripple with other blockchain projects that continue to finance such initiatives. In his view, the absence of institutional safeguards adds unnecessary risk for XRP holders and makes the token less defensible as an investment.

Allegations of a Personal Grudge

Not everyone agreed that Zach’s position was entirely based on industry analysis. Ripple Van Winkle, a researcher active on X, claimed Zach’s hostility toward Ripple stems from a personal rejection. 

Let me explain….

See, the reason ZachXBT goes so hard at Ripple isn’t just because of some “objective industry analysis.” The real story, the one nobody talks about, is that a few years back he actually tried to get in with Ripple.
