The most important crypto figure you've never heard of just came back to life

By LeftFooted | bitcoinea | 25 Jun 2025


Arthur Britto, arguably the most important crypto figure you may have never heard of, just resurfaced after a 14-year hiatus.


Britto, known as Ghost in the Ledger because of the way he keeps himself to himself, just posted on X for the first time in 14 years.


Reminder, Britto has never been interviewed, photographed publicly, or spoken at forums.


Britto is the brain behind Ripple, essentially, as opposed to Chris Larsen, who's also the face of XRP.


I know this sounds silly, but I don't own XRP and will never own XRP because of something Chris Larsen did.


Back in 2024, when the SEC, under the then democratic administration and ran by a democratic guy, was trying its absolute best to destroy every crypto, especially XRP, Larsen endorsed Kamala Harris.


I can't stand that sort of thing. Because I can't see why would Larsen endorse the candidate that represented the party that had been trying so hard to break his company for four years.
