Partnership with Arch Public
In particular, the new trading algorithm is powered by Arch Public, a crypto company specializing in algorithm automation. These tools are designed to make it easy for users to invest in crypto assets without the need to actively manage their portfolio.

Controversy and reaction from the XRP community

Several longtime XRP holders have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the new tool. Some criticized the algorithm as inaccurate and argued that tools might not be able to meet their promises of generating reliable cash yields.
This skepticism was further amplified by the reaction Tyler Winclevos' announcement. Some community members questioned the credibility of the post, suggesting that Winklevoss accounts may have been hacked.
As the news spread, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler's twin brother and co-founder of fellow Gemini, also expressed his enthusiasm for the launch. However, his excitement was filled with similar criticism, doubting the legitimacy of several initiatives.
