AN XRP MEGA UPGRADE JUST DROPPED! THIS UNLOCKS EVERYTHING!

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]We just got some huge news around XRP that I think if you hold XRP, you're probably going to want to check this out, especially until the end of this video because we have a lot to go over.

[00:00:11]There's a lot of confirmation in this video that, you know, XRP is definitely on a completely different level compared to some of these other networks. And I'll talk about why in a moment. But first, let's actually address the FUD around XRP because there's definitely been a lot of negativity around XRP.

[00:00:27]there's been a lot of, you know, just pretty much hateful post and negativity um circling around XRP since going all the way back to like July of 2025, which was our prior peak. And I get it. I understand it sucks to see our investments go down instead of up. But, you know, that's all what investing is about. Like, you're never going to have a grace period of like just up only for like a year or two or three. Like, that's just not how investing works. uh you'll definitely have a lot of great periods of price momentum and we definitely got that with XRP, believe it or not, um from like 2022 lows to the high peak of, you know, going back to July of 2025. But do I think that that was it? No, absolutely not. I think XRP will return with a vengeance. But for now, we just got to make it through this tough time and what awaits us on the other side is going to be very, very, you know, worth the wait essentially. So when we look at what's happening here, yeah, the XRP crowd sentiment has hit its highest FUD level in 3 weeks. A level that has historically acted as a contrarian buy signal per sentiment. Now looking at this, yeah, we look at the FOMO line, which is the crowd greedy above this line. Uh going back to pretty much like roughly May 14th or so, that's when we did hit a little bit above that line. We were trading at about like a $155, which it did make sense for us to kind of sell off from that. uh which I did outline in a video around that time.

[00:01:55]And then also if we're looking at where we are at right now, what we are be below the FUD zone, which is where the crowd is fearful below that line. Now, typically every single time that we've h like hit below this line or even close to it, uh it did turn out to be a pretty good time to be a buyer or and just like accumulating XRP uh because it typically leads to major profits. Now, is it always going to work out that way? Uh, not exactly, but I do definitely think that we are seeing a ton of, you know, negativity and a lot of people are upset and frustrated. And typically when you see that, it's pretty good to be a bull.

[00:02:32]And we're pretty much, if you are bullish right now on XRP and you are still a bull, you're an outlier. Like, we're not following the herd anymore.

[00:02:40]Like, we are outliers in this market at this point because everyone's bearish, everyone's negative, everyone's upset, everyone's frustrated. Uh, but I'm just looking at things and I'm I I can't help but to be very positive on what's going to happen um once this market really does turn around. Now, on top of that, we are starting to see liquidity for XRP on some exchanges like Binance hitting the lowest levels since going back to January of 2020. If you believe in crypto long-term, why don't you lock in on an IRA account from iTrust Capital?

[00:03:11]They offer one of the best platforms out there for anyone that is planning their retirement around crypto. And the best part about this is yes, there's tax advantages built within this platform.

[00:03:23]And also the best part about this is that they offer everything you need for tax reporting. If you sign up today and deposit $1,000, you get a free $100 bonus utilizing my link down in the description below as it was in the comments below. So, what are you guys waiting for? Go check them out. you won't regret it. And with that being said, let's dive on in back to the video. Now, I am noticing a lot of people kind of saying that this is pretty bearish and I understand it. It definitely is, you know, a concerning factor because, you know, tight liquidity, especially in a market the way that it is now with, you know, FUD hitting, you know, these peak levels.

[00:03:57]Um, it could definitely lead to volatility in terms of price action, especially if you start to see a sell-off. Uh, and with the price action looking the way that it is right now, yeah, we could definitely have another major drop on the chart, but I'm not really expecting that. Could I be proven wrong? 100%. But I don't necessarily think that this is extremely bearish or anything like that. Like, I'm really kind of looking at this and, you know, I just think that number one, a lot of people are accumulating XRP. Uh, whale transactions have been hitting some crazy peaks lately. And I think that XRP is still kind of like a star of the show. uh it just might not seem like that because of the price action around XRP, but I wouldn't get too bearish on this. Uh tight liquidity can definitely lead to, you know, major price drops, but you know, we already had that crazy drop already where we are down like 70% on, you know, XRP. So, I'm not too concerned at all with that. But on top of that, we are starting to see some pretty big updates around the ecosystem for XRP. And this is what I really kind of meant by, you know, we are seeing some confirmation that XRP is kind of operating on a different level than some of these networks. Um, this is not like what I meant by like, oh, stick around until the end of this video. No, we're going to talk about that here in a moment. But if we look at what happened, so May 25th, and this is a big issue with crypto, uh, and I stated this many times over, like if you are using some of these platforms, guys, you need to understand that there's a lot of exploits that are happening right now.

[00:05:23]There's so many DeFi platforms. There's so many major, you know, uh, trustworthy platforms in DeFi as well that are technically labeled safe, but they're really not. We have here that blockade detected an ongoing exploit targeting the Squid router modular on Ethereum and also base. 86 uh, Genesis uh, safes drained for $3 million in 2 hours. all stolen tokens swapped to die, which is a stable coin, D AI, via attacker controlled unis swap v3 pools. And yeah, there's a whole, you know, list down here of like just how they did this. Um, but it's pretty crazy. Now, obviously, when we think about this, there's been so many major attacks happening in the DeFi space over the last couple weeks and even months, and it's not like new news at this point. Um, the main thing that I really kind of look at with this is like if you really want to tap in and invest into some of these, you know, projects or even buy XRP and like really kind of look at like institutional grade custody. Um, I mentioned in the earlier part of this video uh about iTrust Capital. Now, yes, sure, they are a sponsor of the channel. I work with them exclusively. Uh, they're they're great.

[00:06:32]Don't get me wrong, they are great. But you know also uh when we look at other ways of storing crypto, cold storage is not a bad idea either. But if you don't really understand cold storage, maybe it's kind of confusing. ITR Capital is solid. They have institutional grade custody. Uh which is great. But this is going to be a big problem going forward in crypto where a lot of these platforms are going to get attacked. They're going to get exploited. You do not want to have your money get drained out of these wallets. But the good thing about XRP and we have over here from the staff software engineer at Ripple XDEV. We have the advantage of native multi-sign on the XRP ledger is zero smart contract risk because multi-sign is baked directly into the protocol not patched together via thirdparty smart contracts.

[00:07:18]This attack vector literally doesn't exist for your accounts. This is why native features matter. And this is also why the XRP ledger is on a completely different level. This is also why I keep focused like focusing on like major upgrades around the XRP ledger like XRP and the XRP ledger just got a massive upgrade and I'm not just talking about this one uh because we did get a major upgrade around the NFT side of things and even DeFi bugs. So we have here that the fix cleanup 313 amendment activates around May 27th. So tomorrow after full validator support automatically removing outdated NFT listings, fixing token vault withdrawals, strengthening permission domains, and correcting lending protocol errors. David Schwarz urged node operators to update uh Ripple version 3.1.3 promptly to stay connected. While over 50% of nodes have already upgraded for a smooth roll out, XRP trades at $1.35 amid low exchange liquidity, the lowest since 2020, and peak social fear. though funds saw 22 million inflows last week and influencers see the dip as a buying chance. Now, like I said, there's definitely risk to everything here.

[00:08:27]Like, could we go down, you know, more?

[00:08:30]Could we have another crash in the market? Yeah, 100%. But nobody knows for certain what's going to happen next. Um, everyone's kind of guessing. In my opinion, I feel like the market has already kind of bottomed out. I think everyone has gotten shaken out that was going to get shaken out anyways. So, uh, in in my opinion, I just see like everything as a buying opportunity at that point in this market. But that's my opinion. Who knows what's going to happen next. But the main thing that I'm looking at here with the XRP ledger is just all of the amendments here. Like, I've been following every single one of these amendments. We do have the fixed cleanup 3.1.3 here. We also have so many other ones here, but like the main ones that we were watching all throughout like last year as well, like the permission decks, per permission domains, like all of those things enabled critical things that the XRP ledger needed for DeFi, institutional DeFi, tokenization, payments, anything. Um, and the the next one that I'm really looking at is obviously the lending protocol. We need to be at 80% as the threshold for I think like two weeks. I think it's like a total of like 13 days, but we just rounded to, you know, 2 weeks. Uh, but we're at about like 23%. So, we have a little bit of a ways to go with this.

[00:09:39]Uh, in the lending protocol, like you really want this to be worked on perfectly. Like, you want to make sure that this has um everything checked over twice because this is going to be a big piece of the XRP ledger, especially for DeFi and even institutional grade adoption. So, you know, this is definitely a big one to focus on and I've been waiting patiently for it to pass. But the biggest one that everyone has kind of been focused on was the AMM.

[00:10:01]If you guys do remember this passed back in uh 2024, it was definitely a huge one. We were there really kind of watching this. If you know you guys are new to the space, then uh you probably don't realize like how big of a moment this was because back in 2024, like when this got enabled, it enabled a big piece of DeFi on the XRP ledger. Something that was missing since inception. And the AMM has been very successful. uh you could track all of the um the volume, the fees, things like that. Uh so far, total volume $1.4 billion, fees collected 6.5 million, current TVL about 34.3 million, and the XRP pool is about 8.4 million. And you might say, well, those numbers are pretty low, and sure, they definitely could be uh compared to like other networks, but in my opinion, I feel like uh you know, the XRP AMMs are still doing very well. Uh some some days we have like crazy peaks and sometimes we definitely have like these major moves. But um I do suspect that like once retail is back and once we start to see more adoption around these ecosystems, especially for XRP, I think that these um these numbers are going to look pretty good. But right now, TVL, you know, hovering around $30 million, which has been kind of the, you know, I would say like the median for like the last year or so. Uh but yeah, we're still seeing some great fees generated here. Um we're still seeing a lot of DEX volume, some uh you know, pretty significant rankings as well in terms of like fees collected and stuff like that.

[00:11:27]So, it's great to see and like I said, it was definitely a big piece of the uh DeFi side for the XRP ledger, which takes me to the next big thing, which is the fact that we got from the XRP Ledger Foundation that tomorrow is going to be a great day. Now, everyone was like, "Oh, that's it. Like, what's going to happen?" and all this kind of stuff. And then they posted this which if you count the dots here it's 589. So everyone starts to speculate. Everyone was like what's what's happening here? What what's going to you know go on like what's going to be announced and you know was it a big day today? I mean listen XRP is not going crazy in terms of price action or anything like that but we definitely got a huge upgrade.

[00:12:07]And Luke Judges is saying the foundation is firing on all cylinders now. And basically what he's referring to is the fact that today the XRP ledger foundation which does like we have so many big players tied back to this you know foundation especially from the community uh David Schwarz is on the foundation too but we have here that today we're publishing a new XRP ledger standard for AMM v2. So like I said the AMM was a massive move for the XRP ledger and now we're starting to see a major upgrade to this. So, new pool curves, stable swap and concentrated liquidity, increase capital efficiency and stabilized pricing for stable coins, FX markets, RWAs and beyond on the XRP ledger decks. This is huge for multiple reasons. Obviously, you know, I've been talking about the FX market for quite some time. The FX market is massive.

[00:12:57]It's trillions of dollars per day. Uh, is all of that going to move over XRP?

[00:13:01]Not exactly. But it's still a great market to be tapped in with. And these things like this V2 move um pretty much enables that to be targeted in a much larger way. And we have here that the motivation the current XLS30 AMM implements a single invariant constant product with uniform liquidity. This is capital inefficient for correlated pairs and inflexible for specialized markets.

[00:13:25]Capital efficiency gap constant product spreads liquidity uniformly across the entire price range so that the share act so the share active near the current price is small concentrated liquidity lets liquidity pools target a narrow band yielding substantially more usable depth per unit of deposited value. Then we also have the curve diversity gap.

[00:13:47]Volatile pairs benefit from constant product. Stablecoin pairs benefit from stable swap. Longtail pairs benefit from a symmetrical or asymmetric uh waiting.

[00:13:57]A single curve AMM forces all pairs into the same model. Then we also have the composability gap. The XRP ledger payment engine already routes across AMM pools. And the order book adding curve diversity multiplies liquidity sources without changes to pathfinding. Each curve type uh produces an offer at its equilibrium price. So this is definitely awesome to see. And like I said, like this is going to be huge for liquidity to be generated and improved greatly uh for specific use cases. We're talking about tokenization. We're talking about FX. We're talking about pretty much anything that, you know, all these influencers have been talking about for so long that makes XRP valuable. And you know, are we going to see XRP go to $1,000 overnight because of this? No.

[00:14:39]But we could definitely see some of those great uh use cases, you know, starting to grow on the XRP ledger slowly but surely. Uh which is very exciting. And we have over here from bet_x0. Now, we did post this video. Um, I don't know what's going on with X today. Uh, but I tried to play this video multiple times and it just simply won't play. It's like broken. Uh, but we do have here that the XRP ledger AMM v2 for the next phase of liquidity and tokenization. Much better pricing of asset pools like ROSD USDC with stable swap along the whole liquidity range.

[00:15:11]Concentrated liquidity to allow to deploy capital on the XRP ledger for ranges that matter instead of the entire range. Please add your thoughts as we aim to collaboratively work with the community to achieve AMMv2.

[00:15:22]And yeah, this is definitely the next phase for liquidity and you know, even tokenization. Um, I think that this is going to be very very exciting for multiple reasons. Obviously, we want XRP and the ledger to be a lot more liquid.

[00:15:36]uh because if the XRP ledger and XRP are a lot more liquid then you will be able to target those higher volume use cases like FX markets uh even tokenization like tokenization of specific markets you know requires a ton of liquidity like if you are looking at tokenizing the stock market yeah you need a massive amount of liquidity so this is the starting point for some of those high volume and highv value payment use cases uh being targeted and actually being brought over to the XRP ledger which I'm very excited about. So, this is definitely another big upgrade. Um, another big upgrade in the massive list of upgrades that the XRP ledger has already kind of undergone over the last couple like years. And a lot of people will say like, "Oh, it doesn't matter at all because XRP is blah blah blah, whatever." But like, I can't help but to be very bullish on the price action of XRP. Maybe it's just because I bought XRP between like 15 cents and like 40 cents roughly. Um, and I know that I'm very blessed to be able to get those entries, but also like we look at where XRP is holding up right now above a dollar and like anything above a dollar being held for XRP in my opinion should be looked at as a very bullish factor and it shows you the strength of XRP. It also should tell you that the next wave of adoption for XRP or the next wave of growth for XRP price action um is going to take it well beyond our prior highs which gets me very excited about the future for XRP. So, in my opinion, yeah, this is definitely a huge upgrade. I think that we're starting to see the entire network evolving uh in a big way.

[00:17:06]And I think that we're starting to see a lot of those factors that really kind of limit these other networks and these other platforms uh pretty much be completely resolved on the XRP ledger.

[00:17:15]And if they were ever there, they're pretty much not there anymore. Uh but that's why like even the native XRP ledger is so different compared to these other like smart contracts or third party smart contracts. It's also why like a lot of people are saying like layer 2s are failing. It's because like these exploits are happening um like all the time. But you know XRP has been extremely strong in so many different you know cases. This is just another one that really kind of you know sets the bar a little bit higher uh in the space and why XRP and the XRPL are you know as valuable as they are today.
