Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen's $10M Investment Fuels Anticipation for Yellow's Token Launch

Yellow, a crypto infrastructure startup building a routing network for cross-market liquidity, has broken its silence with a public update regarding its upcoming token. The announcement has garnered significant attention, primarily due to the substantial personal backing of Ripple co-founder and Executive Chairman, Chris Larsen.

Larsen has reportedly invested approximately $10 million of his own money into Yellow, marking one of his largest disclosed personal investments in the sector. This direct, personal stake, as opposed to a corporate investment through Ripple, has fueled speculation and excitement, particularly within the XRP community, which views Larsen's involvement as a strong vote of confidence.

Yellow's core technology is a Financial Information Exchange (FIX)-based system designed to link various blockchains with exchange brokerages. The platform aims to facilitate cross-chain liquidity and improve the efficiency and speed of cross-market transactions. While the company's recent post did not explicitly mention any integration with Ripple's technology or the XRP token, the technological focus on fast settlement and deep liquidity aligns closely with areas where XRP is already utilized.

The XRP community's reaction has been notably positive. Many supporters see Yellow as a "second Ripple-type opportunity"—a high-upside venture that could potentially mirror Ripple's growth trajectory. The connection has sparked discussions about whether Yellow's infrastructure could eventually integrate with XRP for liquidity and settlement purposes, though no such plans have been confirmed.

Despite the heightened interest, key details about the token launch remain undisclosed. Yellow has not provided a release date, a specific token model, or distribution terms. The announcement has also raised questions among early contributors about their potential inclusion in future token allocations. The lack of concrete information has, however, only intensified speculation, positioning Yellow as one of the most closely watched companies in the crypto infrastructure space as it approaches its first public milestone.
