    Is XRP the “Biggest Financial Scam”? Researcher Says So

    Token FlashBy Token FlashMarch 22, 2025No Comments3 Mins Read
    • Crypto researcher at Alpha Please, Aylo called XRP the biggest financial scam. 
    • Ripple CTO responded and corrected on-chain data figures of XRPL DEX volume. 

    The saying, there’s never a dull day in crypto, yet again came true with the latest comments of a researcher about one of the top cryptocurrencies like XRP. Researcher Aylo called XRP the biggest financial scam the world has ever seen. Such a bold accusation on Ripple and its token triggered a variety of reactions from the crypto community. 

    I think XRP is the biggest financial scam the world has ever seen.

    There has never been something which has produced less value that has reached this market cap ($140B).

    Aylo, a researcher at Alpha Please, made a post on X recently called XRP the “biggest financial scam.” To support his accusation, Aylo cited XRP Ledger’s 24-hour DEX trading volume of $44K, as per DefiLlama. He further said that no other crypto reached a market cap of $140 billion that produced less value. 

    $44K or $9M, What’s the True 24-hour Trading Volume of XRP Ledger?

    Ripple Chief Technology Officer, David JoelKatz Schwartz, responded to Aylo’s post. Since $44K is such a low 24-hour DEX volume, Ripple CTO suggested that it only considered XRPL’s AMMs. His post read, 

    “I can’t find the exact page you’re looking at, but I bet that’s just looking at AMMs on XRPL, a minuscule fraction of what people use XRP for.”

    It’s arguably the biggest opportunity market in whole crypto.

    No other blockchain allows such an easy capture of over 6,000,000 accounts on chain with so little competition. XRP Ledger the place to build hands down.

    Also it’s $9,000,000 vol 24h on the dex not 44k pic.twitter.com/AK4whdpRbJ

    Replying to the same post, the dUNL validator Vet made another post supporting the project. He stated that XRP is arguably the biggest opportunity market in the whole crypto. Vet also corrected the 24-hour DEX volume, stating that the actual volume is $9 million not $44K. 

    However, the comment section also included several posts that affirmed that XRP is a scam with little to no value. While one comment raised concerns our the legitimacy of the XRP token supply, others confused the 24-hour DEX volume with XRP’s 24-hour trading volume. 

    Despite the massive community, XRP’s real value and the strength of the fundamentals remain dim compared to other top cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Solana. An almost four-year-long Ripple lawsuit was recently closed by the SEC under Trump’s new administration. Only time proves which cryptocurrencies are the real gems with real-time utility and strong fundamentals.
