Notably, his LinkedIn update comes just six months after he dispelled rumors about his departure on Twitter, claiming that he had "no plans" to go anywhere else.      

The former CME Group executive joined Ripple back in 2016 to work on liquidity solutions for XRP, the third biggest cryptocurrency by market cap. He was responsible for listing XRP on exchanges and managing its quarterly sales

"Ripple and XRP removed most of the initial reservations I had around bitcoin, namely that there was an actual group of people focused solely on integrating into the financial system, instead of displacing it," Vias said.

Ripple's executive exodus 

As reported by U.Today, Ripple lost veteran employee Evan Schwartz back in January. He was the mastermind behind the Interledger Protocol (ILP).  

The long list of executives who have left Ripple over the past two years includes Cory Johnson, Dan Morgan, Catherine Coley, and others. It's worth noting that Coley is currently at the helm of Binance.US, the local branch of one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume.
