Tyler Winklevoss, co-founder of Gemini, recently confirmed the launch of free algorithms tailored for the XRP holders. These algorithms, created by Arch Public, a crypto firm specializing in algorithmic automation, aimed to offer a more equitable investment environment, particularly for XRP and Bitcoin holders. This acknowledgment followed a post from attorney John E. Deaton, who revealed his involvement with Arch Public. New free algos for the XRP army! https://t.co/n4DEg67uhB — Tyler Winklevoss (@tyler) April 16, 2025 Deaton, an influential figure in the XRP space, shared that he had set up an account on Gemini to run algorithms targeting XRP and Bitcoin. He suggested that this new tool could help users generate a “cash yield” by increasing the amount of XRP in their accounts. Meanwhile, his tweet generated mixed reactions. Some XRP community members expressed enthusiasm, while others voiced skepticism about the legitimacy of the initiative. Community Response and Criticism The response from the XRP community was far from unanimous. Several long-term followers of Winklevoss expressed doubt. One dismissed the algorithms as “garbage and a highly inaccurate indicator,” pointing out flaws in the tool’s effectiveness. Another user criticized Winklevoss for promoting this XRP algorithm after previously criticizing Ethereum. Meanwhile, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler’s twin brother and co-founder of Gemini, also expressed excitement about the release of “free algos.” His tweet, however, was met with similar backlash, with some questioning whether Tyler Winklevoss had been hacked due to the nature of the announcement. This seems so scammy. Is your brother hacked, @tyler? @Gemini — JimmyJazz (@JimmyJazz2018) April 16, 2025 David Schwartz Warns the Community Meanwhile, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, also issued a cautionary message to the community about the XRP algorithm. He raised concerns that the announcements appeared “wrong in several ways.” Schwartz advised the community to remain vigilant until there was confirmation that the posts were coming from uncompromised accounts. However, Deaton countered the skepticism in a follow-up post. He emphasized his long-standing mission to democratize investing for ordinary people, especially in the face of exclusionary financial practices. To further address growing concerns, Deaton announced plans to go live on X to provide clarification. Also, his legal firm, CryptoLaw, confirmed that there had been no security breach of Deaton’s account. We can confirm: John’s account was not hacked. — CryptoLaw (@CryptoLawUS) April 15, 2025
