Recently, with the strengthening price of XRP and positive developments in the legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC, a new type of scam utilizing depth forgery technology has garnered widespread attention in the crypto world. This incident involves a forged video of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, which falsely promotes a non-existent massive XRP Airdrop plan.



In this AI-generated video, 'Garlinghouse' claims that the company will launch a 'Ripple Reward Program' related to the outcome of the SEC lawsuit, promising an airdrop of up to 100 million XRP. However, Ripple's Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz quickly stepped in to clarify, exposing the true nature of the scam and reminding investors to stay vigilant.

It is worth noting that the occurrence of such scams coincides with a strong performance in the XRP market. As of the time of reporting, the trading price of XRP has reached $3.43, with a nearly 6% increase in the last 24 hours. This market enthusiasm undoubtedly provides an opportunity for scammers.

As AI technology becomes increasingly mature in the field of forgery, similar fraud methods may become more common and difficult to identify. In response, industry experts urge crypto assets investors to exercise extra caution, especially when faced with major announcements that appear to come from well-known individuals or companies, and to ensure verification through official channels.

This event once again highlights the reality that in the rapidly developing field of digital assets, technological innovation coexists with security risks. Regulatory agencies, technology companies, and investors need to work together to build a safer and more trustworthy Crypto Assets ecosystem.
