"Tacostand" was set up in 2013 when McCaleb left Ripple Labs to found his own blockchain platform, Stellar, with native coin XLM, a Ripple rival.

One of the settlement agreement's provisions is that McCaleb must sell his XRP only in small parts; dumping the entire nine billion coins that he received as compensation was forbidden by the agreement from the very beginning.

Jed's XRP holdings are shrinking

Now, Jed has less than two billion XRP coins left, with the current balance in his wallet of 322,309,116.962079 XRP.

Blockchain researcher and analyst Leonidas Hadjiloizou expects McCaleb to sell approximately 22.6 million XRP on a daily basis, which means that the Ripple cofounder may run out of his remaining two billion coins by August-September this year.
