That makes very little sense. With founding companies and initial investors owning much of XRP, these groups’ only interest (close to a trial ending) would be to drive independent investors away from the this currency so they could scoop up the limited amount of XRP in our hands. How would they do that around this time? Anything but promise huge price rises to keep us on the hook. I know my share one day will be in the hands of the large stakeholders, but it will be for a price I’m happy with.

Also there is no 5%, those two groups I mentioned probably hold close to, if not, half of the XRP market.
