Ripple CTO David Schwartz provided clarification on XRP II after one of his followers found a reference to it in the crypto payment company's official documents. Using Apple Pay and Apple as examples, Schwartz explained that XRP II is a separate legal entity controlled by Ripple Labs and needed to conduct separate, specific activities.

The developer further separately clarified that XRP II is not a cryptocurrency, and according to the document provided in response to Schwartz's tweet, it appears that the LLC in question was previously named XRP Fund II.

According to the original document, XRP II is involved in the sale of cryptocurrencies to third parties. Thus, this company was selling XRP in exchange for fiat money.
