The prominent Ripple executive also bought other stocks that he likes as much to maintain his exposure to the market.

Schwartz says that he could potentially switch back to the recently sold stocks following a 31-day period.

The rules of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) do not allow tax deductions if the same stocks are repurchased within a month.

"The ones I sold are ones I recently bought. I try to keep losses short-term and gains long-term when I can," he explained.

Earlier this week, the U.S. stock market experienced the biggest two-day wipeout in history, with more than $6 trillion worth of total losses.
