The disappointing history of XRP airdrops

In hopes of attracting organic activity, airdrops were once a popular way to bootstrap adoption for new crypto networks. XRP was particularly attractive due to its ultra-low transaction fees. When the SEC sued Ripple for conducting an unregistered securities sale in December 2020, several XRP -friendly airdrops were quickly launched. Fearing that the US government might shut down the XRP Ledger, win a debilitating financial settlement against Ripple, or otherwise inhibit growth in the industry, many projects viewed early 2021 as the last opportunity to run a successful airdrop campaign to XRP token holders. However, most social media accounts of airdrops from this time either no longer exist or have become inactive. Some accounts claimed to support a good cause; others used a celebrity’s image — possibly without permission — or used suspicious marketing tactics. Flare (FLR) airdrop The largest airdrop in XRP history was Flare. It took a snapshot of the XRP network on...

Here's why Ripple XRP partnerships and MoUs often go nowhere

Over the years, Ripple has announced innumerable XRP partner ships that it ultimately abandoned. Thousands of crypto leaders publish official-looking Press Releases about preliminary initiatives that generate minimal results. Their primary intention is usually to associate the token with the large brand partner and its “utility.”  Occasionally, those large brands are not even aware that the partnership exists. Helium (HNT), for example, once promised token holders that it had partnerships with Salesforce and Lime scooters that never existed. According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ripple’s partnership announcements were not merely innocent attempts at brand-building — to the contrary, Ripple made over $2 billion off XRP sales in large part as it “made an avalanche of public statements” attempting to increase the value of XRP. According to commissioners, Ripple misused XRP partnerships to sway investors into believing they were making an investment in XRP...
