“Yes, we choose how much to sell. And everyone can see how much XRP comes out of escrow and how much goes back in.”

Previously, Schwartz clarified that Ripple had stopped programmatic XRP sales but continued with XRP On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) sales. Despite this, an XRP supporter accused Ripple of misleading people by not disclosing their ODL sales.
Support from Bill Morgan & Zach Rector ?
Bill Morgan, a lawyer following Ripple closely, differentiated between “dumping” and “selling.” He explained that dumping refers to selling in a way that suppresses the price, while selling alone does not necessarily have that effect. He urged the XRP community to rely on evidence rather than speculation in their arguments.
Journalist Zach Rector also defended Ripple, stating in a recent YouTube video that it’s actually retail investors, not Ripple, who have been dumping XRP.
