XRP investors and community figures rejected the claim, saying there is no established legal basis for a forced confiscation. They argued self-custodied wallets cannot be easily taken and said comparisons with 1933 gold restrictions are misplaced.

Public key exposure splits quantum risk between XRP and bitcoin, comparison finds
A comparison found the XRP Ledger has lower structural exposure to quantum-computing threats than bitcoin, largely due to differences in public key exposure. It estimated about 0.03 percent of XRP supply is exposed under current conditions, versus about 35 percent of bitcoin in circulation. The analysis cited dormant accounts, key-rotation features and escrow mechanisms for XRP, while pointing to older bitcoin transaction formats and the lack of built-in key rotation.
