CRAZY NEWS: RIPPLE IS INSTITUTIONALIZING XRP NOW!

Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]Just the other day we got a huge news regarding Ripple and XRP and that was of course the Mastercard Ono Kixus by JP Morgan and Ripple announcement that successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails. Together they're all laying the groundwork for a 247 global markets that never close. And this is probably one of the craziest announcements that we got.

[00:00:29]Um, especially coming from a name like Mascard because again, Mastercard has over, you know, 400,000 plus followers.

[00:00:35]But the difference there is that Mascard also powers majority of what we see around us in terms of transactional flows. So, Mascard is definitely a giant in the game around cards. Uh, so this is definitely very very exciting um considering the fact that we are starting to see blockchain adoption on that level. But let's be honest here, that's not the biggest news that we just got. This on the other hand is definitely a big one. And this got put from Wrath of Conoran, which is Ripple is partnering with Newberger on a $200 million debt facility. The funds are managed by Newberger spec specialty uh finance, the dedicated assetbased investment team within Newberger, a global investment management firm. The pace of these announcements is impressive. I agree. We're talking about in the month of May already. We got major announcement after major announcement.

[00:01:29]This one is just six days old and this one is fresh.

[00:01:36]It's crazy. It is crazy on how fast Ripple is moving right now. Now, you might be wondering like when is XRP going to move? And trust me, I hear your guys's like arguments around this. I understand that you guys are frustrated.

[00:01:50]Um, I am too. Listen, I hold a lot of XRP. I have a lot of money tied back to XRP. And you know, I'm I'm looking at it and I see that it's sitting pretty stable while we're seeing all these crazy announcements, but those announcements tell me that I am right.

[00:02:08]I'm right before the price action actually hits. So, when the price action does hit, I'm not going to be shocked by it. I'm going to say this is exactly what I expected because I'm seeing all of these major announcements. I'm looking at it and in our mind like we're like why isn't XRP pumping? But that's exactly why XRP will pump when the market is ready. And I know that you guys are going to say oh when the market is ready. But yes, the market right now is choppy. We're still tied back to Bitcoin. We're still tied back to nonsense. But the market is changing which supports a higher priced XRP. Now, looking at this announcement here from Ripple, we have dependable access to financing is critical to institutional participants in today's dynamic markets.

[00:02:49]And Ripple Prime's ability to meet this need just got that much stronger. We're proud to partner with Newberger on a $200 million debt facility to meet rising client demand.

[00:03:01]That's a big one to take a look into.

[00:03:03]Rising client demand because the client demand is for their institutional grade prime services and margin financing solutions.

[00:03:14]Bigger balance sheet, better capital efficiency, bestinclass service. So, just to, you know, dissect this post real quick apart. Number one, $200 million.

[00:03:27]This means that there's going to be a lot more liquidity tied back to Ripple Prime and we're starting to see a significant rise in client demand for institutional grade prime services and margin financing solutions. This is very exciting for XRP because well XRP we know is directly plugged into Ripple Prime. We got that announcement back in November that yes XRP and ROUSD are tapped in with Ripple Prime. Now, we're going to come back to this because a lot of people are still kind of confused on that. But we have over here from Ripple the announcement of the Newberger um you know expansion. Now looking into this, okay, we do have that since Ripple acquired the platform in 2025, Ripple Prime has tripled its revenue yearover-year.

[00:04:16]That's big.

[00:04:18]Ripple Prime's sustained growth in client activity and demand for its prime services and also financing solutions has been driven by increased participation across traditional and digital markets as well as the need for reliable counterparties capable of delivering consistent access to capital at scale.

[00:04:36]Dependable access to financing and balance sheet strength are critical to institutional participants in today's dynamic markets. As the president of Ripple Prime, this facility enables us to grow alongside our clients by delivering increased margin capacity, greater responsiveness, and improved capital efficiency. Newberger's specialty finance has deep expertise in assetbased finance and strong understanding of our business model, and its support reflects the differentiated prime services platform we have built and the many growth opportunities available to us. Yeah, this is awesome.

[00:05:14]It's obviously increasing Ripple Prime's lending capacity and enhancing this ability to serve new and existing institutional relationships. I'm very excited to see what happens after this.

[00:05:24]Ripple Prime has built an innovative brokerage platform combining fintech grade technology and agility with bank level compliance and operational rigor.

[00:05:33]This facility reflects our focus on partnering with marketleading platforms and is a testament to Ripple Prime's unique position at the nexus of traditional expanding markets.

[00:05:44]The deal team led by Jay Berger and I are pleased to support the company's ongoing growth and success through this creative solution. And yeah, I mean this is awesome. And the best part about this is we are starting to see institutional adoption really expanding here for Ripple. I think that that's the clearest confirmation from this announcement, which I'm very excited about. Now, what about XRP?

[00:06:11]Because everyone wants to know like where does XRP fit into this? Well, we know the announcement back in November specifically states that these assets like XRP and ROUSD will be plugged into the Ripple Prime service. Now, this is all through the and I I've said this in many videos even in the past as well. This is all through the institutional adoption side of things. like they want XRP to essentially be an institutional grade asset on their platform. Obviously, does that mean that XRP specifically is only made for institutional players? No. But Ripple specifically is making sure that XRP is an institutionalbased asset within their platform. Which is why when we even think about, you know, Ripple Prime specifically, like the main thing that we look at here is, you know, the services that they're offering with Ripple Prime. And then I look at what we are hearing from players like Mike Higgins. And if you guys don't know who Mike Higgins is, he is the CEO of Ripple Prime. He specifically confirmed that XRP will be utilized as collateral alongside Bitcoin in institutional finance. Big shout out to Bank XRP for this video clip. It originally got posted from Lord VxRP and this is from the derivatives decode it. Um, I guess this is like a sort of uh just a podcast within crypto, but we have Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Salana tokenizing anything of value as collateral for margin and settlement is the next step.

[00:07:49]This evolution into cross margining demonstrates the growing utility of the XRP ledger, allowing assets to work as high-grade collateral without the need for liquidation. And that's why when we think about what they're telling us in this announcement, right, they're talking about collateral. They're talking about specifically making sure that they have a full backing to allow these institutional players to tap in.

[00:08:11]Like XRP plays a vital role here, which is why when we listen to this video clip, well, I'll let you guys listen in and then we'll talk about it.

[00:08:19]>> Is the assets just dollars or US treasuries? No, it's Bitcoin. It's Ethereum. It's XRP. Um, it's stable coins. it's tokenized money market funds. Um I think that's going to be the the next step is really when you start to you know tokenize anything of value and use that for um you know for good collateral as margin and for settlement.

[00:08:39]So we're we're still early on in the space. Bitcoin and and and Ethereum and XRP and Salana these are really no difference between major exchanges and regulated exchanges. But within the complex of crypto, there is hundreds thousands of coins and many thousands of perpetual swaps against them. Trading that basis between those are are quite attractive from a revenue opportunity.

[00:09:04]So I'd say that um you have a long runway where cross margin is going to still be very advantageous is the asset >> and yeah I mean what we're watching right now is XRP.

[00:09:18]We're watching the institutionalization of XRP happening right now. Like we are witnessing every single move from Ripple highlight one key thing, institutional adoption. Every single move, institutional adoption.

[00:09:34]And that's what gets me very excited about even the DTCC stuff which we talk about. We're seeing XRP being plugged in directly to institutional finance.

[00:09:46]And we even have over here from Z crypto. Ripple is outlining a future where the XRP ledger becomes institutional settlement infrastructure.

[00:09:54]The key narrative isn't just payments anymore. It's net settlement. It's prime brokerage. It's capital efficiency. It's reduced counterparty risk. Faster institutional liquidity movements.

[00:10:04]Ripple's paper directly compares digital asset markets to the evolution of FX markets in the late 1990s.

[00:10:13]And one line stands out. leveraging the XRP blockchain.

[00:10:18]This is the type of infrastructure conversation institutions have before real adoption scales. And looking into this, yeah, we do have institutional solutions for a maturing market where digital assets play the key role here.

[00:10:32]We know that finance is evolving. We know that the XRP ledger itself stands as a key backbone to what is happening with institutional finance. Anyways, tokenization is changing the game.

[00:10:44]Stable coins are changing the game.

[00:10:47]Blockchain itself is rewiring the financial system.

[00:10:53]This is something that I am watching closely.

[00:10:57]I'm watching this all closely because when whenever I see somebody in the comments saying XRP is not moving, why isn't XRP doing this? Why is why is XRP still sitting at this price point?

[00:11:11]Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to all realize what we have right in front of us. We have a complete confirmation that the entire financial system around us, even with the Mascard announcement, right? The entire financial system around us is being rewired.

[00:11:31]Yet, we are still sitting here saying the price action sucks.

[00:11:36]It's because we are in the process of the entire financial system changing. It doesn't happen overnight. And I understand that blockchain itself, Bitcoin came out in 2009. I understand that it's been going on for a very long time. I hear you guys. However, most of these blockchains, most of these DTS, most of the technology that we have in front of us, it didn't get even adopted completely until the late 2010s.

[00:12:04]So, when we think about that, yes, we're still early. However, things are advancing so much quicker than what most people assume, which is why I go back to what the DTCC is trying to do, tokenizing 114 trillion. It's starting in July. The full launch is set for October.

[00:12:24]Guys, we don't have to wait much longer.

[00:12:27]Like, these things are heating up this year. You have Black Rockck here. You have JP Morgan. They have Goldman Sachs, NASDAQ, Circle, Ono, Ripple Prime. By the way, you have the entire stock exchange, New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ moving onchain.

[00:12:42]Let me ask you this one more time.

[00:12:46]Do you see what's happening here?

[00:12:50]The entire system is moving onchain.

[00:12:54]Everything tokenized, everything moving 24/7, 365. The underlying networks are already being tapped in. The underlying networks are already being adopted. I love the timeline breakdown from Smoke Dog regarding the DTCC and Ripple and even XRP because it does highlight even Ripple Prime. Like I feel like they're trying to boost the liquidity of Ripple Prime because they understand the amount of scale that's about to hit Ripple Prime services because we even have over here April of last year, Ripple acquires Hidden Road for 1.25 25 billion. May of 2025, the DTCC patent names XRP and the XRP ledger as a bridge liquidity asset.

[00:13:35]October of 2025, the deal closes. Ripple Prime becomes a thing. December of last year, the SEC no action clears the DTCC tokenization path. March 2nd of this year, Ripple Prime Live on the NYSE directory. May of this year, Ripple Prime joins the DTCC tokenization working group. the second half of this year, the limited production tokenized trades July, full launch in October. The path for XRP to finally access, you know, the derivatives markets is here.

[00:14:07]That that's like the biggest market in the world.

[00:14:12]We no longer have to wait in anticipation for the moves to be made.

[00:14:16]They're happening. All we have to wait for is price action to show up. But we know that it's going to happen at some point. We just have to be patient. We just need to buy the major crashes we need to accumulate when we start to build a floor and just be patient. And I understand that you guys have been patient. I respect that. I understand it. I get it. But guys, I've been waiting here mostly, probably longer than a lot of you out there for these things to happen. And I'm very excited that we're finally starting to see the, you know, plugs being plugged in. All we have to do is wait for them to flip the switch on the generator to actually turn on the power.

[00:14:54]But it's happening. These things are happening right now. So with that being said, I hope that guys enjoyed this video.
