FUZZY XRPL memecoin Jumps 17% After Fuzzybear Speaks

The FUZZY XRPL memecoin just got the strangest kind of publicity: a public denial from the man it is named after. FUZZY is built around "Fuzzybear," an early XRP user whose 2014 order to sell 1 XRP for 1 BTC still sits unfilled on the XRP Ledger. On October 20, an account posting as @FuzzybearBTC said he never created the token, then softened it hours later, calling it "merely a tribute."

What actually happened

The lore is pure XRPL archaeology. According to the project's site, the Fuzzybear wallet was activated by OpenCoin, the company that became Ripple, in February 2013, and the famous order went in on January 1, 2014. It asks for one full bitcoin per XRP. With XRP around $1.33 at the time of the CoinGecko snapshot and bitcoin near $82,600, it is not getting filled any time soon.

Per X's trending summary, the token itself launched in January 2025 on First Ledger, an XRPL launchpad. It ran hard last week. Then the person in the story showed up.

Fuzzybear speaks, twice

At 21:29 UTC on October 20, @FuzzybearBTC replied to a thread saying he had just logged into X for the first time "since it was twitter" and wanted to make clear he did not create or have anything to do with FUZZY, calling it a "complete imposter." In a numbered follow-up he wrote that the order was real but never filled, that he cannot reach that wallet anymore, that he no longer holds XRP, and that anyone claiming he is part of the token "is wrong or impersonating me."

At 22:12 UTC came a second take. After "a quick little digging round," he wrote, FUZZY "looks like it was merely a tribute to my dex order from 2014." He added: "I feel honored to have been inspiration and I wish you all the best with your project." That post had roughly 10K views by morning.

Not an endorsement, not a rug accusation. A tribute, in his words.

Some X posts framed this as Fuzzybear "endorsing" the coin. That overstates it. He says he has no role, no wallet and no XRP. We also cannot independently prove that @FuzzybearBTC is the same person who placed the 2014 order, though the account dates from long before the token.

Why the FUZZY XRPL memecoin is moving

Memecoins live on stories, and this one has a rare thing: a real on-chain artifact anyone can look up. The denial put the name back in feeds, and the tone shift to "honored" gave holders a clean quote to share. Add a green XRP day and you get a 17% move.

The risk is the same story in reverse. The FUZZY XRPL memecoin has now been publicly disowned as a project by its namesake, even if kindly. Any future marketing that implies his involvement would run straight into his own posts, which are easy to find.

XRPL memes have smaller markets than Solana's, so modest flows can swing prices hard. For broader XRP context, see our coverage of the Evernorth XRP vote and the Firelight XRP cover product.

No market here

There is no live Polymarket market on FUZZY or Fuzzybear as of this writing, so there are no odds to quote.

What to do as a reader

Separate the artifact from the asset. The 2014 order is history; the token is a community coin with no link to the person behind it, by his own account. Its price depends on attention, which can fade as fast as it arrived.

Check the XRPL issuer address on an explorer before buying, since popular XRPL tickers attract copies. Watch liquidity on the main pools rather than just the chart, and ignore accounts that suddenly claim to "be" Fuzzybear in your DMs. A tribute coin can rally on a nice quote and still drop when the next shiny story arrives. Nothing here is investment advice.
