Is XRPL 'truly decentralized' now?

The XRP has been often accused of being centralized, mainly due to the fact that nearly half of the total XRP supply (the coin is not mineable) was locked on Ripple’s escrow. Ripple regularly unlocks one billion of XRP tokens and uses them for the needs of the company and for adding liquiity to XRP.

Another point is that some believe Ripple can at any moment freeze users’ XRP in their wallets, should the team suspect wallet users of any illegal actions, such as money-laundering, terrorist financing, etc.

Many in the XRP community also criticize Ripple for those regular ‘XRP dumps’ since they believe those are the making the XRP price stay low and prevent any chance for its growth.

Source of the ‘breaking news’

The screenshot is taken from the minivalist.cinn.app website. After it had been published in the social media, the XRP community has taken this news with a high degree of enthusiasm. However, so far, nobody from the XRPL team or Ripple has officially confirmed this information.
