XRP Signals Aligning… What You Need to Know!

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Hello everyone. As with you always, this is Rich doing another video today on XRP.

[00:00:08]So, I hope you're all having a wonderful day today wherever you are in this great great world. We're going to talk about XRP and I got to start with this. Is it really that easy? Sell in May and go away. No, that's what they were saying about April. Patience and perseverance, nothing more. Right now, everybody's saying May is going to be the breakout month for crypto.

[00:00:37]Crypto is going to skyrocket in May.

[00:00:40]Everybody get ready now. But there's no confirmation of that happening.

[00:00:46]It's just like all these days people keep citing for XRP to break out. It's going to happen on this day. It's going to happen on this day. Those days are going to come and go and nothing's going to happen.

[00:01:00]You know when XRP is going to break out?

[00:01:03]When we all least expect it. It's going to come without a warning and it's going to sideline a lot of people.

[00:01:11]Geniune question. Why are so many people scared to buy XRP now but feel comfortable buying near the top? Can someone explain, please? You know why people are comfortable buying the top?

[00:01:25]Because of the excitement that is happening when XRP is breaking out.

[00:01:31]Everybody's talking about crypto, everybody's buying crypto and they have a fear of missing out. That's why they buy near the top. Millionaires are made at the bottom.

[00:01:44]Whenever people are negative and people are beaten down, that's when you buy XRP. You don't chase massive green candles later. And a lot of people are going to be doing that. You're going to see people buying at new all-time high after new all-time high.

[00:02:02]You buy when the prices are at rock bottom and that's where we are right now. And even if you bought above $3, it doesn't really matter because we are going much higher.

[00:02:16]6 months later, this is now well underway. This comes from Hunter Horsley.

[00:02:22]In the next 12 months, every Wall Street institution will be doing something in crypto. Software is eating the world.

[00:02:31]And he's telling you this is happening right now.

[00:02:35]In the background, there's tokenization happening every single day, but it's not happening at a level yet where it's impacting the price of XRP. I believe that will come later this year when all of a sudden trillions upon trillions of dollars start hitting these networks. And it's not just going to be XRP, it's going to be other utility driven cryptocurrencies breaking out as well.

[00:03:05]And as more and more value comes on chain, these cryptocurrencies are going to continue to go higher and higher over time.

[00:03:14]Ripple's tokenization bet. Will XRP price explode as it enters this trillion dollar industry? And take notice, a tiny slice of a $31 trillion dollar market.

[00:03:28]Here's the issue. There's people out there that still believe that somehow Bitcoin is going to go to astronomical prices because of tokenization.

[00:03:40]Bitcoin's future is to be a tokenized asset running across all these other networks. That's the future for Bitcoin.

[00:03:50]And Ripple is going to capture a decent percentage of this market because the XRP ledger was built for tokenization day one. Back when nobody was talking about tokenization.

[00:04:05]And Ripple built a really easy solution for tokenization to happen on the XRP ledger. So, I'm thinking we're going to capture a bigger percentage than what people think.

[00:04:20]Be honest, what bag size actually creates generational wealth? 5K, 20K, 75K, 250K.

[00:04:31]Don't scroll, pick one.

[00:04:33]Honestly, we don't know how high the price of XRP is going to go in the short term. But we do know long term, it's going to be a four or five digit asset.

[00:04:46]So, think about having just 1,000 XRP.

[00:04:51]Say XRP went to $100 in 2026. Now you have $100,000.

[00:04:58]You know, it's easier to 10X $100,000 and turn it into a million dollars over time.

[00:05:07]But it also comes down to your game plan. I mean, if you plan on not selling your XRP at all and getting the monthly returns off of your XRP, the passive income, and you just keep investing a little bit of that passive income month over month, building up your passive income along the way, you can obtain generational wealth. There's no amount of XRP that people should be holding.

[00:05:36]You just buy as much as you possibly can and you don't stress about it. Everybody always wants to tell you you need X amount of XRP. Just buy what you can afford. And then sit back and wait for it to happen.

[00:05:53]This comes from King Koran. Your bloodline breaks the cycle the moment you refuse to sell. Every XRP and Flare you hold today is a brick in the wealth your grandkids will be thankful for.

[00:06:08]Lock in.

[00:06:09]Everybody always asks me, what is the next opportunity in crypto after XRP?

[00:06:16]The very first thing I cite is Flare. I think it's overlooked right now. I think it it's in a position where XRP was back in 2017 before that major run-up to $3.84 in 2018.

[00:06:35]I think a lot of people are underestimating Flare and honestly, I can't stop buying it under a penny because this is the opportunity of a lifetime in my opinion. And if you hold XRP, you absolutely should be holding Flare.

[00:06:54]Flare is going to be a monster. Wait and see. You know why most people still hate Flare? Because of the airdrop delays that happened in the past. If you were holding crypto, if you were holding XRP in December of 2020, you were automatically eligible for a Flare airdrop. And then it got delayed and people got pissed off. That's what happened.

[00:07:21]But Flare, in my opinion, sitting under a penny, it's like a no-brainer. It's a It's a cryptocurrency you should be stacking right now. That's just the way I look at it.

[00:07:33]Supply shock inbound. That came from Kraken.

[00:07:37]But they didn't link a certain cryptocurrency to it. So, right away people said they're absolutely talking about XRP.

[00:07:46]And I do believe XRP supply shock will happen.

[00:07:51]Most likely later this year. And it got everybody talking about the Shane Ellis theory once again.

[00:08:00]And this is what it comes down to, is supply and demand. Liquidity dynamics.

[00:08:05]According to the theory, the price of XRP is not tied to its circulating supply, but rather to the amount of liquidity required for institutional transactions.

[00:08:18]If large financial institutions begin using XRP for cross-border payments and require high value transactions, the price could rise sharply to accommodate their liquidity needs.

[00:08:32]That's where XRP would end up with a set price. Then they talk about low order book depth.

[00:08:40]Closed ecosystem transactions and speculative value.

[00:08:46]I know this, the Shane Ellis theory, it already looks like it's playing out right now.

[00:08:53]I still believe that they are going to have to set the price of XRP at some point. And this theory also puts XRP at a valuation of $500 or more.

[00:09:08]Now, that was a couple of years ago.

[00:09:11]Today, I think things are starting to look a lot different. You got to remember, tokenization wasn't even talked about back then. Back then, people were caught up on cross-border payments and only XLM was going to be utilized for person-to-person payments and domestic payments as well.

[00:09:32]Now, we know XRP is going to be used for domestic payments. We also know XRP is going to be tied to micro payments. It's also going to be utilized in between two AI. So, the $500 valuation here is most likely $2,000 or even $2,500 today knowing all we know now.

[00:09:58]Because if XRP price were to increase, it would make it volatile. Just as the banking sector and IMF said, they want stability and trust in the system. When XRP moons, it will stay at the set price they've agreed upon. And those holdings will be the market makers. Shane Ellis, he actually said that.

[00:10:24]So, he knew that they were going to set the price at some point in the future.

[00:10:30]This is also where Jimmy Valley got the idea of the set price of XRP being $10,000 to $37,500.

[00:10:41]Now, we don't know if they're going to set it that high out of the gate. I think out of the out of the gate, it would most likely be maybe $1,000. Maybe it's 589. I had the same Maybe it's $2,000. We really don't know.

[00:10:59]But I think they would then reprice it again at some point. Maybe it goes through a few repricing events along the way to get it to $10,000 eventually.

[00:11:13]XRP trading volume climbs to $28 million on major exchanges. We see this every single day.

[00:11:23]And again, even these articles, they start talking about supply squeeze in focus, altcoin rotation, and so on.

[00:11:32]The one thing that nobody's factoring in right now is the fact that this cycle is different than every single previous cycle we've ever seen.

[00:11:42]Because in previous cycles, you didn't have the institutional money that we're about to see enter this space. I think that's going to be the major game changer. That coupled with retail FOMO and ETF FOMO. Those three things are going to bring about the perfect storm for XRP. Then, you add on top of that tokenization, clarity, and even more institutions onboarding. It It's so many things when it comes to XRP, but it's so many things happening in such a short period of time.

[00:12:21]Pornhub replaces USDT with USDC for creator payouts. I'm surprised they didn't use RLUSD.

[00:12:32]According to Prontos, the world's largest adult website has replaced USDT with USDC for creator payouts. A circulated email says the move is aimed at improving payment reliability while describing USDC as a regulated stablecoin compliant with MiCA. USDT is no longer listed as a payout option.

[00:12:59]So, remember when people said MiCA wasn't a big deal that Tether would still succeed. Now, you're starting to see the early signs of MiCA having an impact on Tether. You're going to see more announcements like this. Wait until the US finally passes regulations. Right now, the US is just using Tether. Once they're done using Tether, they will allow it to crash and burn just like everything else. People keep citing that the US government, they're going to always be behind Tether because of Howard Lutnick. Let me tell you something, the US does not care about Lutnick. When the time comes and Tether no longer has any value to the US, they will let it crash and burn. Wait and see. That will happen.

[00:13:53]Because every time you think the US government isn't going to do something, guess what they do? The same thing you thought they would never do. And you should have learned that by now along the way.

[00:14:06]But, you know, our government, they drag their feet on everything. So, if they see a solution and people can make a lot of money behind the scenes on something, they will write it out until it's no longer needed. Just like FTX. Remember, Sam Bankman-Fried was funneling a lot of money back to not only Democrats, but Republicans as well. And they still allowed FTX to crash and burn. They will do the same thing with Tether.

[00:14:38]But, we're XRP investors. Whatever happens going forward, we know one thing. We are holding the future.

[00:14:47]And until it all happens, stay patient, stay positive, and let's get rich together. With that said, I'm going to wrap up this video. I want thank you all for watching. I appreciate all of you.

[00:15:01]I'll see you in the next one. Have a great night.
