XRP ONLINE / TRANSPARENCY
Sources & editorial policy
Who publishes XRP Online, how its work is prepared, and how readers can assess or challenge it.
Who runs XRP Online
XRP Online is an independently operated information and research website founded and edited by Harley Chang. It is not affiliated with Ripple Labs and does not claim institutional credentials. XRP Online remains the publisher.
Editorial approach
Coverage begins with the economic, financial or practical question. News, analysis and education are labelled separately. Research, proposals, pilots, company announcements and production use are not treated as interchangeable evidence.
Clear distinctions
Ripple is a technology company, XRP is a digital asset, and the XRP Ledger is a public distributed ledger. Ripple success does not automatically equal XRP demand. XRPL adoption does not automatically mean XRP price appreciation. Articles should explain the mechanism and evidence connecting a development to either conclusion.
Fact-checking and sourcing
Published coverage prioritizes original documents, official records and primary technical material. Source titles, publishers and access dates are displayed where the article system supports them. Company marketing is treated as a company statement rather than independent evidence, and legal coverage identifies the relevant jurisdiction and scope.
Corrections policy
Material factual errors are corrected. A substantive correction will be dated and explained where transparency warrants it rather than silently rewriting the record. Updated dates are intended for meaningful editorial changes, not routine builds. Readers can report an error or broken source through Contact & corrections.
Use of AI
XRP Online may use AI-assisted research, drafting or production tools. AI output is working material, not a source or an author. Published claims are intended to be checked against the cited evidence, and readers should be able to verify important factual claims independently.
Financial independence and affiliates
Affiliate resources are labelled and kept separate from editorial content. XRP Online may earn a commission from some outbound links without increasing the reader's purchase price. Affiliate relationships should not determine editorial conclusions. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
Contact and accountability
Questions about sourcing, factual errors and corrections can be sent through Contact & corrections. The privacy page explains how contact and site data are handled, while the terms and disclaimer explain the informational scope of the site.
