Ripple Exec Says Joining Ripple Doesn't Mean He Dislikes Solana

Published at 2025-11-30 10:30:12

Luke Judges, Ripple’s Global Partner Success Lead and Director, used X to clarify that joining Ripple does not equate to rejecting Solana. His post pushed back on a growing narrative in some corners of crypto that shifting employers or teams is inherently adversarial, reminding followers that professionals can support multiple ecosystems while working for one organization.

The comment matters for investors and community sentiment because it undercuts tribalism and highlights a more collaborative posture between chains. For XRP and SOL holders, that tone reduces the risk of reactionary selling tied to personnel moves and could pave the way for more pragmatic interoperability conversations. Public remarks from industry figures often shape narratives and liquidity flows, so Judges’ stance may help calm markets and encourage cross-chain dialogue rather than divisive rhetoric.
