David Schwartz On More Ripple Partnerships and XRP Price Rally

Recent discussions about XRP often return to the same topic of Ripple’s growing list of partnerships with banks, payment companies, and financial institutions worldwide. Those collaborations now number in the hundreds, prompting debates about their impact on XRP.

A recent exchange on X brought that discussion back into focus. The interaction involved Ripple’s former Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, and an X user who attempted to compare XRP’s long-term price movement with the company’s partnership announcements.

Schwartz Responds to Comparison With XRP Chart

The conversation began when Schwartz referenced supply mechanics involving Stellar. In an earlier post, he shared an XLM price chart, noting a major token burn around that historical chart. He shared the chart to counter the argument that burning XRP in escrow can boost XRP’s price. While XLM experienced a similar burn, there was no noticeable price increase.

Schwartz has previously argued that burning the XRP in escrow would be useless. He highlighted the chart to show that the burn did not correspond with a clear price surge.

Scam Daddy, a popular figure in the crypto space, then applied a similar argument to XRP. He posted an XRP price chart and suggested that Ripple had signed hundreds of partnerships within that period, implying those agreements had not produced a direct price response.

Schwartz replied directly to that comparison, clarifying the reasoning behind his earlier post. “That would be a sensible reply if someone argued that Ripple should sign more partnerships to increase the price of XRP,” he wrote. “But nobody did. Someone did argue that burning supply increases price.”

Clarifying the Focus of the Discussion

Schwartz’s response highlighted the difference between two separate arguments. His earlier example addressed claims about token supply reductions affecting price behavior. The reply clarified that his post did not relate to Ripple’s partnership strategy or to XRP adoption through financial institutions.

He wrote that the comparison would apply only if someone argued that Ripple should sign partnerships to raise XRP’s price. His example focused on the idea that token burns alone do not always create immediate price changes in crypto markets.

Ripple Partnerships Continue to Expand

The exchange placed attention back on Ripple’s global partnerships. The company has spent years building relationships with banks, payment providers, fintech firms, and infrastructure platforms across multiple regions.

Several industry trackers estimate that Ripple now maintains more than 300 partnerships with financial institutions and service providers. These partnerships can boost XRP’s adoption. While Schwartz did not make the argument directly, many in the community believe this can directly impact its price.
