Schwartz's explanation sheds light on Ripple's approach to managing its XRP reserves and addresses concerns regarding the company's influence over the cryptocurrency.&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ripple-cto-fires-back-at-xrp-critics-heres-what-happened" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">As reported by U.Today</a>, the XRP community has recently expressed its frustration with Ripple's significant involvement with the token and its monthly release of XRP from escrow accounts.
