XRP Ledger's 100 TPS milestone marks transaction speed, not token price, says Ripple CTO Emeritus.

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz clarified that the "100" on his XRP shirt represents the XRP Ledger's transaction capacity milestone of 100 transactions per second (TPS), not the token's price. The shirt was made to celebrate the XRPL reaching 100 TPS, a speed benchmark between earlier tests of 80 and 120 TPS in 2015. Later tests showed even higher throughput of 1,500 TPS in 2017, indicating the network's growing performance capabilities. This distinction helps clear confusion caused by the timing of the shirt's production when XRP's price rose from around 30 cents to $1.

David Schwartz's clarification on XRP Ledger speed comes as a backdrop to a mixed cryptocurrency market on Pluang. For readers following major cryptocurrencies, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 31, 2026 18:21 WIB: out of 50 priced major cryptocurrencies, 28 rose and 19 fell today. Notable movers include BAL (Balancer) at Rp16.297 with an 11.14% increase, EOS (EOS.IO) at Rp12.649 up 8.13%, and CAKE (PancakeSwap) at Rp35.623 with a 5.56% rise and a Pluang order activity split of 52% Sell to 48% Buy.
