XRP Fan Calls Out Ripple CEO: You Sure It’s XRP and Not Ripple Stock?

Crypto commentator KINGVALEX has publicly questioned whether XRP truly sits at the center of Ripple’s corporate priorities, pointing to the performance gap between XRP and Ripple Labs’ private stock.

In a recent post on X, KINGVALEX stated, “XRP is at the heart of everything RIPPLE DOES,” before directly addressing Brad Garlinghouse with a pointed challenge.

He asked whether Ripple’s stock, rather than XRP, is effectively “at the heart of everything” the company does. KINGVALEX argued that it is “real funny” that even during the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit, Ripple’s stock managed to outperform XRP.

He framed this contrast as evidence that the company’s corporate equity may be delivering stronger returns than the digital asset that many community members believe is central to Ripple’s mission.

Ripples Stock Priced Higher than XRP’s price

The images attached to the post show a snapshot of Ripple Labs stock priced at $120.51, reflecting a 319.17 percent all-time increase according to the Hiive marketplace listing.

In contrast, the XRP chart displayed in the second image shows the asset trading at $1.46, with a long-term performance graph that includes a historic peak near $3.84. By placing these visuals side by side, KINGVALEX emphasized the disparity in performance over time.

He concluded his message by directly challenging Ripple’s leadership, calling for greater transparency or engagement from the company’s executives on how XRP holders should interpret the performance difference.

Community Reactions Reflect Divided Views

The post drew firm responses from other members of the XRP community. An X user identified as calogero, under the handle @DevotedArs, dismissed concerns about price performance. He wrote that worrying about price while regulatory clarity remains unresolved is misguided.

According to his comment, “Until that is passed, the effective price doesn’t matter at all. Price comes when certainty is clear.” He attributed current price action to ongoing uncertainty and urged holders to remain calm, accumulate gradually, and wait for legislative clarity.

Another user, Danny (@XRPBRITTO), offered a more strategic defense of Ripple’s trajectory. He stated that Ripple is a company whose “North Star” is to make XRP a central piece of global finance.

Acknowledging the five-year legal battle with the SEC, he argued that Ripple used that period to expand internationally and strengthen its position. He conceded that the stock has performed better than XRP “for now,” ending his comment with “Tic tok,” implying a belief that the situation may eventually reverse.

KINGVALEX’s post underscores a recurring tension within the XRP community: the relationship between Ripple as a private company and XRP as a digital asset.

By directly addressing leadership and juxtaposing stock and token performance, he has placed renewed focus on whether corporate growth and token appreciation align.
