XRP is quietly traded on the market and in the XRP community. In a tweet, XRP Ledger validator Vet hinted that the XRP community is relatively quiet.
“We are keeping this matter quiet in the XRP community for now,” Vet wrote, sparking speculation in the crypto community.
For now, it has remained silent in the XRP community.

In the first few days of 2026, XRP and Ripple have made impressive progress. XRP had a strong start to 2026, pushing the price to a high of $2.41 on January 6th before reversing course.
Ripple on Friday announced a major regulatory milestone by securing electronic money institution (EMI) license and crypto asset registration approval from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), allowing it to expand its payments platform to UK financial institutions.
Ripple also said it will expand its long-standing strategic collaboration with BNY, RLUSD’s primary reserve manager. This comes as BNY launches tokenized deposit services for institutional customers, with Ripple Prime as an early adopter to bring digital assets directly into the banking system.
Would you like to be quiet?
The “remain silent” tweet by a veteran XRPL validator comes amid growing concern in the crypto community over XRP’s recent price drop, Ripple’s recent advances, and its declining presence on X.
Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency community voiced concerns about a decline in X’s visibility, with users unsure whether it was due to algorithm changes or a drop in engagement.
XRP price is in its seventh day of decline after reversing a strong price rally at the beginning of 2026. At the time of writing, XRP had fallen 2.33% to $2.04 in the past 24 hours, and was down 4.62% for the week. However, trading volume was even higher, increasing 173% in the past 24 hours to $3.06 billion.
The background behind the XRPL validator’s tweet is unknown. Perhaps it has something to do with the upcoming major developments in Ripple and XRP, or the current market scenario.
