DAVID SCHWARTZ MASSIVE XRP LEAK?!?! (HUGE XRP-BOMB)

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]XRP Las Vegas is about to kick into high gear and we are expecting some major announcement come Monday or Tuesday this week. We also have David Schwarz telling the community that if you're believing people that are pushing secret theories about governments adopting XRP to explode the price, you are fooling yourself. We're going to get into some community reaction here. We also get some new information and some data from Ripple about their new custody partners.

[00:00:27]and man is their business exploding.

[00:00:29]Let's get into all of this news and information and we'll I'll give you all of my context and how I feel about all this. So, Paul Baron says, "I expect some big news from Ripple next week at Las Vegas. It is going to be interesting to see all of this stuff go down. I will covering it full here on this channel."

[00:00:45]Now, I want to jump into this David Schwarz tweet here. It says, "No, I'm saying that there's a lot of secrets.

[00:00:50]Many Ripple partners insist on NDAs to keep their business secret. I'm saying the conspiracy theories that constantly claim that something big is about to happen or that the government is going to do something massive are almost always going to be completely false. And if you're investing your time, money, and emotion based on them, you're probably fooling yourself. Now, there was some back and forth here between David and another person. Logic police says, "Okay, you're obviously if there was a secret, he wouldn't tell anybody about it on spaces." is and David says, "But I wouldn't say that there's no big secrets if there was a big secret unless I was a liar." So, I think David's trying to have a little bit of a fun with the community here. But what do you guys think about this? I mean, there are people that are constantly pushing big conspiracy theories in the background about XRP's price going to some massive number with some economic collapse and some government stepping in. And I wonder if David Schwarz is taking aim at those specific people or if he's just taking aim at anybody that keeps pushing the same theories over and over again that we just haven't seen play out. This is why I try to stick to the facts and what is actually happening in the news.

[00:01:56]And I'm a little reluctant to talk more about the people talking about 5, 10, $20,000 XRPs. We play the videos, we watch them together, and I give you my assessment of what I think about them.

[00:02:07]Most of them are a little, you know, on the fringe. And I I don't think that most of these people have any real research in the base of reality. I think that they want the attention. I think they want the clicks and they're going to keep doing it because that's what gets them the fame that they are looking for. All right. So, here's Chartner says, "Price is a sensitive topic, but XRP targets of 5,000 to 10,000 by end of year or beyond are thrown about like nothing. Less a conspiracy front, more of a bad practice. Please settle this debate. Many of us are tired of seeing the misleading claims from engagement farming. Yawn, I like it, chart nerd spicy. He says, "Unknown DT says, let's remember that the Ripple staff is full of people from the US government agencies. I don't I don't understand why, David. It's true that some theories are exaggerated, but the fact is the US government and several other countries are working closely with Ripple to deny this is a lie." So, some push back there on David. Okay. and allin crypto says interesting signal from Ripple CTO David Schwarz. Actually, he's not the CTO anymore. He's killing any XRP price hype. He says that conspiracy theories are almost always going to be false, which is fair, but strange time to kill hype when XRP is down over 50% from July. David and the Ripple team have never been interested in pushing XRP price. That's not something that David's thinking about like, oh, is this a bad time to be tweeting this, right? Is it going to affect XRP price? David doesn't care about that stuff. He never has, right? He's trying to address that.

[00:03:38]Every day he wakes up and gets on X and someone probably tags him in some talking about a five or $10,000 XRP in a month or a year and or at the end of the year, right? It's just exhausting. And none of these predictions have ever come true. And people just need to realize that this is a longer timeline than what you want to accept. And it's not going to happen on what your timeline is or what this person's timeline is. It's going to happen when it happens, right? You need the regulations in place. You need the privacy layers on the public blockchains in place so institutions can use the rules of the road. And then we start.

[00:04:13]We're almost there. Let me know what you guys think about all this. I know uh you know it could be spicy and I know some of you are going to be frustrated maybe with some things I just said and some of you are going to agree with me and that's I'm fine with that. You know, you show up every day, we're not going to agree on everything, right? But I'm going to call it how I see it because that's all I got, man. Right. I can't pretend to be something else or somebody else or, you know, it just doesn't work.

[00:04:40]I'm going to stick to the facts always on this channel. And we're going to go through this together. I'm going to be here for you. I'm going to give you as much news. I'm going to give you as much of my time, my energy, my love, my support, my knowledge as possible. And I hope that's good enough for you. All right, let's move on to this. And it's inevitable that, you know, now right now we talk about 2 and a half trillion. You know, look, do I think this is an easy 10x over the next 5 to 10 years? Yeah, no problem. I don't that doesn't freak me out when I say that at all.

[00:05:07]>> Like that's conservative if you >> that feels safe to the earlier conversation about asymmetric returns.

[00:05:12]Is there a chance that it's 100x in that time frame? That feels aggressive. But I don't know, like uh I I I think that many people in the United States particularly don't understand what it would be like to have lived in Argentina and have the Argentinian peso devalued effectively to zero multiple times in my lifetime.

[00:05:33]>> Why would you hold that currency? We don't realize that could become us the point, right? Like I think that we underestimate what that macro dynamic looks like over the long term.

[00:05:46]>> All right, let's continue here. Lots more to get to. This was interesting. ZF crypto says XRP open interest Zcore just flatlined near zero. Last time the OI was compressed on Binance. The price went from 50 cents to 340. Speculation is out. Leverage is gone. The market is reset. I just wanted to double check some of this stuff. It suggests that XRP is in a reset phase where leverage is washed out, which often precedes big moves, but it does not guarantee the direction of the big move. The setup is potentially bullish if new spot demand steps in, but short-term downside or chop is still very possible. Now, we've seen uh money starting to come into ETFs again. We've seen people starting to pay attention. We've seen even views starting to tick up on YouTube when it comes to XRP and crypto content. So, are people starting to come back? Are people starting to pay attention? I mean, this is about the time that people do. They usually take four or five months off and then they come back. They're on holiday, right? And then they come back. I do want to give a big warning and a red flag here though, right? The the current state of the market doesn't reflect what's going on globally with the macro events, right? You've lost 7 to 800 million barrels of oil and the straight of Hormuz is still shut down. That affects not just oil, but that affects fertilizer, that affects plastics, that affects all kinds of other things, helium, and all types of other gases that we need to run the world. And certain places are have now started to run out of gas and jet fuel. The paper price for fuel and the actual price for fuel is like $40 difference, right? If you want to go buy a a barrel of oil, it's going to cost you 130 $140, $150.

[00:07:29]But the paper price is between 90 and 100. So those two things are going to catch up sooner or later and gas prices are going to skyrocket. Gas prices are going to skyrocket, inflation is going to skyrocket and the market is going to adjust here. The real question is, is it going to affect the crypto market and how badly will it affect the crypto market? Make no mistake, it is coming, right? You look at all of the data, it is coming. You've had it closed, the stren for moves now for two months.

[00:07:56]Never in the history of our lives has it been closed for two months and over 15% of global oil is now taken offline.

[00:08:04]That's going to come back and it's going to come back real hard soon. Now, let's let's switch back here to crypto. Just wanted to give you that warning of what I'm seeing and we talk about this on Tuesdays and Fridays in the live stream.

[00:08:15]Please show up and spend some time there. Ripple custody is the foundation of institutional digital asset adoption.

[00:08:21]Digital asset adoption is no longer theoretical. From Europe's regulated banking platforms to the UAE's tokenized real estate initiatives, institutions are moving beyond pilots and into production. Stable coins are entering treasury workflows. Real world assets are being tokenized under established regulatory frameworks. And banks are launching digital asset platforms for their customers. And digital asset custody has proven to be a foundational governance layer in this shift. Without secure compliant digital asset custody architecture, digital asset strategies, payments, tokenization, staking and treasury management inherently in practical risk, governance breaks down, compliance becomes fragmented, operational complexity increases and institutional adoption stalls. The next phase of digital asset adoption will not be defined by experimentation. It will be defined by operational maturity. And that maturity begins with digital asset custody. A defining time for Ripple custody. Since late 2025, Ripple custody has expanded on every core dimension of institutional readiness, strengthening the baseline that regulated institutions need to build and scale digital asset strategies. Over the past several months, Ripple custody has been strengthened across every critical layer of institutional readiness. The acquisition of Palisade enables wallet infrastructure and scalable transaction signing. Chain analysis integration embeds real-time compliance secures affords enterprisegrade cloud HSM integrations and the partnership with Figment adds institutional staking capabilities. At the same time, Ripple custody expanded into new geographies and deepened relationships with banking partners globally. Together, these milestones represent something larger, the operationalization of custody and infrastructure for the institutional onchain economy. Most recently, Ripple partnered with Kybo Life Insurance, one of Korea's largest and most established financial institutions to explore blockchainbased custody and onchain settlement infrastructure. As the first major Korean issuer to take this step, Kyobo signals a broader shift.

[00:10:26]Institutional adoption of digital assets is accelerating across new markets led by regulated financial institutions with real world use cases. It says, "Adaptable infrastructure and real world applications.

[00:10:39]Banks, custodians, and regulated enterprises demand the highest level of security and compliance from a digital asset custody solution. They demand an API first modular platform that seamlessly integrates into existing core banking uh infrastructure without disruption and scales as digital assets market evolves. They want simplicity and speed rather than hassle, delays, and expense. They come from assembling and managing multiple vendors and systems.

[00:11:06]Ripple offers all of that and more in one single best-in-class custody platform that can support many management scenarios. Backed by more than a decade of experience and trusted by tier 1 banks and financial institutions globally, including BBVA, DBS, DZ Bank, Intenso, Ripple Custody enables partners to go live more quickly and operate with confidence and scale effortlessly. In Europe, Intensus Apollo is leveraging Ripple custody to support its digital asset initiatives, reflecting growing demand among leading banks to integrate secure, compliant infrastructure into their digital asset strategies. On top of that, Ripple consistently adds features and services that set new standards for digital asset custody. Its recent integration with chain analysis embeds compliance capabilities directly into custody workflows for real-time transaction screening and policy enforcement. The acquisition of Palisade also strengthens the overall platform while enabling several new use cases institutions can now use. Deploy invisible secure wallets in seconds, safeguard and govern treasury operations using distributed key generation and customizable approval policies. Support stable coin payments with native compliance screening and tokenize financial assets across major blockchains. New integrations with secure assist and Figment build on this momentum so that institutions can quickly and seamlessly enhance security and deploy new digital asset custody offerings. It does talk about cloud-based HSM custody. Security starts with key management through integrations of CyberVault HSM and cloud HSM from securis. Ripple custody enables institutions to deploy HSMbased custody without the cost, complexity and delays of traditional hardware deployments.

[00:12:50]This is one of the most extensive ranges of HSM providers, ensuring seamless compliance across any regulatory jurisdiction. These cloud-based HSM capabilities give banks and custodians direct control over their cryptographic keys within a more affordable, scalable enterprisegrade security model, and they help institutions meet internal security standards and response to customer demands without committing to lengthy onboarding cycles and infrastructure buildouts. in tandem with already embedded compliance capabilities like these from ripple custody makes compliance part of the natural custody workflow of the greater operational clarity and more consistent effective enforcement. It also talks about staking within custody as interest is growing in staking institutions are looking for ways to participate without building out validator infrastructure or taking taking on operational risk through the partnership with Figment. Ripple custody allows regulated institutions to offer staking for leading proofofstake networks including Ethereum and Salana directly within their custody environment and workflows. With this integration, staking can become a natural extension of custody managed through existing security, governance, and compliance standards so that institutions can expand their digital asset offerings while maintaining operational consistency and regulatory alignment. Moving forward, institutions require digital asset custody infrastructure that reduces complexity rather than adding to it. They seek systems that can accelerate deployment timelines, support regulatory requirements, and grow some use cases as they expand Ripple custody's deep integrations for new security compliance and staking capabilities, removes the friction for managed fragmented technology stacks, and enables customers to go live faster, operate with confidence, and scale without compromise. So this is Ripple putting everything into uh one easy to understand product set tech stack where you don't have to go to all of these different I mean manage man imagine if you're a banking institution and you needed custody but you also needed wallet integration and you also wanted to look at tokenization and you also wanted to look at u someone to manage your private keys you wanted somebody to manage staking right these are all different companies that you would need to go to because usually companies specialize in one or maybe even two of these things. Ripple specializes in all of these things so you can get one one company to give you all of this different technology and that is going to be hugely beneficial. Not just to save time, money, cost, but think about how much more secure it'll be to have everything under one roof. Right? If one if you have four different companies doing all of these things and one of those companies has an issue, that's a big problem, right? Ripple has never had any big problems like that. So you can imagine how they can step in here and provide all of those solutions with one go. Now it says smoke dog says remember globally systemically important banks like gibs are using ripple custody and we just talked a little bit about that and he was highlighting the the thing I just read to you and it says ripple custody supported by the uh one of the global systemically important banks which called G operating multiple custody systems across different jurisdictions by deploying a single window interface powered by its proprietary unified governance and policy engine. When changes occurred in any custody system, the example is a third-party custodian under a specific jurisdiction. Such updates are centrally managed by the GIB through Ripple custody multicustody orchestration layer, ensuring alignment with the bank's global standardized policies and practices. Through this implementation, the banks were able to mitigate risk, ensure compliance, enhance security, and reduce manual reconciliation efforts across across across and accelerate growth. Excuse me. And it says uh kind of just what we read in the top here. I don't really need to reread that to you.

[00:16:35]And this is kind of how this orchestration looks like if you wanted to know. You got jurisdiction X, jurisdiction Y. And this kind of how this all this value would be moved between jurisdictions here with the you know you ripple custody multi-custody orchestration layer. And this is kind of uh risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, enhanced security, higher efficiency and accelerated growth. All right. And then Chad posted this.

[00:16:58]Coinbase all of a sudden you saw $20 million in volume on Coinbase today.

[00:17:02]What is going on? People seem to be buying it looks like. And then Crypto Eerie says according to SBI VC official it's a perfect time to start dollar cost averaging as they show three and six-year gains. So Bitcoin 190, Ethereum 31, XRP 208. Look at that threeyear gains is 28% six year gains is 987%.

[00:17:24]Bitcoin six here is 1,500 and Ethereum six year is 2,000. So really looking strong here. All right guys, listen, that's it. I'm going to wrap it up there. Thank you so much for being here.

[00:17:33]Please support the content with the like. Comment below what you think about all of this. Uh I know some of you probably are already commenting before I even got to the end here. Listen, it's just an honor to spend this time with you. I am moving this weekend. We're moving buildings. There's construction going on. So it's going to be a little bit crazy. So to make sure to show up and support the content, I greatly appreciate you. Thank you so much for all your support. I will see you next time. You guys have a great week and I'll see you on the other side on Monday. All right.
