Just to be pedantic, what happened is the original founder sold it to some skeezy guys who wanted to cash in on the digital currency crazy, and those skeezy guys added XRP as a way to cash in.

So it's not quite that the original founder felt pressure to create the token, but he did feel some pressure to make money, and eventually that led to a token.
