XRP holders are expressing frustration following three significant developments this week. SWIFT's new partnership with Chainlink to manage tokenized assets has dashed hopes within the XRP community that XRP might play a role in SWIFT's operations. Additionally, the resignation of David Schwartz as Ripple's CTO, transitioning to Emeritus CTO, has surprised many, given his prominent role in advocating for the XRP Ledger. Further compounding concerns, the potential U.S. government shutdown has sparked fears of delays in the approval of XRP ETFs, a crucial step for the asset's broader adoption. These events have collectively contributed to unease among XRP investors.
