Ashley Prosper, a crypto influencer has made an alarming allegation that the XRP community is facing a coordinated attack. She points to several factors as evidence of unfair treatment against XRP.
She highlighted the lack of mainstream media coverage of the recent summary judgment in the high-profile SEC vs. Ripple case. Despite being a landmark development, it received scarce media attention. She believes this perpetuates an unfair narrative about Ripple and XRP.
The influencer also claimed constant dissemination of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) about XRP in a concerted manner. This has negatively impacted market sentiment and adoption of the cryptocurrency.
Moreover, Prosper pointed out private entities like JPMorgan engaging with the SEC over XRP. As JPMorgan develops its own blockchain settlement token, it has raised concerns about competing with XRP.
In addition, Prosper expressed concern over the hacking of the social media accounts of prominent XRP community members. She sees this as part of the alleged coordinated attack.
The ongoing SEC-Ripple lawsuit has also led to huge financial losses in the XRP ecosystem, she noted. The case outcome will have major implications for XRP’s future.
While Prosper raises important questions, more investigation is needed to ascertain if XRP is indeed facing a coordinated attack. The claims highlight the challenges XRP has faced amid the legal battle with the SEC.
