David Schwartz, Ripple’s CTO Emeritus and one of the most influential figures in the XRP ecosystem, sparked controversy after changing his X profile picture to an image connected to the FUZZY meme coin on the XRP Ledger. The reaction was especially strong because Schwartz had previously criticized meme coin investing and warned against treating speculative tokens as serious financial assets.</p>

While Schwartz previously described his involvement with FUZZY as purely technical, many traders believe changing a public profile picture crosses into symbolic endorsement territory whether intentional or not.</p>
