Bill Morgan, a well-known attorney who frequently comments on the legal challenges facing Ripple, recently shared his perspective on why the company adopted a restrained stance when discussing XRP. In his view, Ripple’s public silence on XRP was not accidental but a deliberate strategy shaped by legal advice. In the tweet, Morgan says, “Ripple may have been acting on legal advice not to comment at all on XRP in social media.” He argued that responding to inaccuracies could have created new problems for the company. If Ripple corrected false claims about XRP, regulators might have treated those comments as promotional, reinforcing the idea that investors were relying on Ripple’s efforts to generate profits. Ripple may have been acting on legal advice not to comment at all on XRP in social media. Correcting false information might have run the risk that the SEC would have argued that those corrective posts were intended to promote XRP and relevant to the issue whether investors had… https://t.co/AzDYgPsQzu — bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) September 30, 2025 Ripple’s Cautious Approach Morgan explained that this risk was central to Ripple’s cautious communication style. He said that if Ripple had corrected misinformation about XRP, the SEC could have argued those responses amounted to promotional activity and linked them to investor expectations of profit tied to Ripple’s efforts. By holding back, Ripple reduced the chance of giving regulators evidence to strengthen their case. This means from around 2018 onward, Ripple drastically reduced its XRP-related discussions. Instead of engaging in public debates or correcting misstatements , the company stayed largely quiet, but was indirectly building utility around it. The Contrast with Bitcoin Promotion Morgan also compared Ripple’s position with the behavior of prominent Bitcoin advocates. He pointed out that “It was never able to promote XRP the way Michael Saylor and bitcoin maxis have shamelessly and incessantly promoted bitcoin.” While figures like Saylor openly championed Bitcoin as an investment, Ripple had to act with caution to avoid legal consequences.

While Bitcoin advocates could freely amplify their message, Ripple’s executives faced restrictions that limited how they spoke about XRP’s value or its potential role in the market. What This Means for XRP’s Journey Morgan’s remarks highlight how legal strategy influenced Ripple’s communications. Instead of actively promoting XRP, Ripple focused on building technology and partnerships while limiting public commentary that might have been interpreted as investment promotion. This strategy shaped the way XRP has been perceived over the years and helps explain why the token’s narrative often developed outside of Ripple’s direct control. For XRP holders, this provides important context. Ripple’s silence was not a lack of confidence in the token but a reflection of the legal risks involved.
