XRP: Highly Bullish Events Suspiciously Occurring Now!

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]Welcome back to the channel. Hm. XRP upgrade nears roll out with critical fixes. We have this going on.

[00:00:08]They're upgrading it. That's interesting. Right after we had about 2 3 weeks ago, we had a few documents come out from large financial institutions that have power globally that were requesting tightening up of security and flaws. And then you had the whole mythos thing going on right before that, which is why they came out with those documents, right? And then Mythos exposed a whole lot of flaws within the financial system. So they're busy patching that up. But they also put out those documents saying, "Hey, listen with DT, we want to make sure everything is tightened up. Everything is is even more secure." Why? Because in those very same documents and within that very same time period, we read other papers, not documents, like just articles in addition to that where they were clear they want to go all in. And what were they talking about in those documents?

[00:00:56]That was very interesting. Oh, that's right. They were talking about neutral interoperability layers. If people were not paying attention to that, folks, well, I know you did. I I know you did.

[00:01:07]You read the I know you read the documents. I know you saw it. Okay. But other people out there, they didn't they didn't see that. And it's like, whoa, that's super bullish. What? They almost never talk like that. All right, let me calm down a little bit. But then this happens. So XRPL, it looks like you're you'reing things up for a massive amount of banks to come on chain. That's very believable. Why? Because you just had a massive amount of banks come out of Japan. That's that was a consortium.

[00:01:38]That that little group was a representative of a consortium. The members only sections. How many banks are in that consortium?

[00:01:46]Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.

[00:01:48]in that consortium that once you figure out how many banks are in there, what banks are those? How much value do they move per quarter, per half a year, per year? How much value do they move?

[00:02:02]That's that's super bullish, is it not?

[00:02:04]Yes, it is. Yes, it is. But wait, taking that into account, they came out, their representatives, that group of banks came out and they praised what?

[00:02:12]XRP.

[00:02:15]Right. Right. Right. Right. So, if they praised XRP and they did testing with XRP, they tested it with other banks within that consortium cuz they all work together. They're a network. They praise XRP, but they didn't release the names of those other banks that were in the consortium, even though we looked them up. Yeah, we did that. Even though we looked them up. So then, if they're happy with that testing, they're saving a lot of capital, saving 60% over Swift, then that would lead one to logically believe that those other banks are coming on chain. Now, if they're coming on chain, they definitely reached out to people at XRP at the XRP ledger company, whatever that is, XRPL.org or Ripple or SBI or have them reach out and say, "Hey, listen. We love what you're doing. We're using it. We're in. We just need you to sweeten it up a little bit.

[00:02:58]Tighten it just a little bit. It's not bad. It's amazing. We save 60% over Swift. Tighten that up a little bit."

[00:03:04]And lo and behold, a few weeks later, you think that's a coincidence? They released those documents. Then two two and a half weeks later we have this.

[00:03:15]But wait, maybe this was in the works.

[00:03:16]Maybe I didn't know about this. This was in the works already. But even if it was in the works before that time period, think about this. Those banks knew long ago they were going to be testing XRP.

[00:03:28]When did they begin? When when did they end? I don't remember them clarifying that. How long were they doing that? How long were they planning on doing that?

[00:03:35]And if they were planning on doing that back way back when when they planned it, they could have reached out and said, "Listen, once we conclude, we would like this to go into effect. But don't put it into effect too early because you have a whole ocean of researchers now.

[00:03:51]Brilliant researchers keep doing a good job, by the way, that are very perspeacious and going to figure out what we're doing. And we don't want sh No. Hey, stop. Don't you say sh We don't want them becoming too bullish.

[00:04:06]So, I'm playing with those ideas here.

[00:04:07]It doesn't mean that that's exactly what how it occurred, but I think that's highly feasible, highly logical, very possible, right?

[00:04:16]H interesting here. So, then what did they do? I mean, they have the whole mythos thing. Tighten up security flaws involved. They don't want anything. They don't want anything getting in the way of that value flowing. And I don't either. Know why? Cuz I'm going to take that bank money.

[00:04:31]Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They're going to hand it over. They already did. It's already over. They already lost. They waved the white flag. Swift waved the white flag. The Fed waved the white flag. All the different central banks waved the white flag. They We don't have interoperability. You heard it from the ECB. You heard it from the BIS. You heard it from the IMF. You heard it from the Bank of England. How many more central banks you got to hear it from?

[00:04:51]What's going to tie them all together?

[00:04:55]What's going to tie them all together?

[00:04:56]Huh?

[00:04:58]You want to go a step further?

[00:05:01]Okay, let's go a step further. You put Okay. Mhm. RWA, I've been talking about certain commodities, certain elements that are hot. I'm talking about super hot. Did you see what just happened? Did you see what company did what with those particular commodities? What? Not gold and silver. Oh, there's something super hot. Did you check out the members only section?

[00:05:25]Now, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You just saw the US representatives go over to China.

[00:05:31]Wait a minute.

[00:05:34]They're both in a in a race for those particular commodities that go into what semiconductors.

[00:05:44]What sh Don't say it too loud. You don't want not you. They don't want the people too bullish. They don't want the people knowing that. But they covered it all up with all this political stuff when they're sitting on this opportunity of massive value. Why aren't they wasn't Why isn't anybody talking about that?

[00:06:00]Well, I am members only section. Why aren't they talking about that? Oh, so they're both in an arms race for these particular commodities for semiconductors and semiconductors you need for AI. Semiconductors you need for DT data centers.

[00:06:19]H interesting.

[00:06:24]When you're digging up all that material, because they said they have record amounts of it in the ground. This is where we're going. Don't worry, it's going somewhere beautiful. All that value in the ground. You don't actually have to move it, right? No. No, you don't. No, you don't. You just tokenize that value while it's still in the ground. You move that onchain.

[00:06:42]They're saying, "Wait a minute. Listen.

[00:06:43]Yeah, we're battling and we're doing all this for the public, but we need to come together cuz there's a lot of value involved here. We want to make sure we get our hands on those quadrillions."

[00:06:50]Yes, it is. Quadrillions, folks. Can't get around it. Oh, trillions.

[00:06:53]Quadrillions. Alphany. Yes, that's not a joke. Not an exaggeration. Go look at the numbers for yourself. Record amounts of these commodities in the ground. They won't have to move. It will move across chain. How do they do that? Wait, wait.

[00:07:06]China doesn't trust the US. You see where I'm going? Interoperability.

[00:07:10]Well, you liquidity as well. Saving cost as well. Speed as well. XR. With XRP, you have payment channels. Oh, don't forget about that. Exposed that again, didn't we? So, you get the highest speed and the cheapest uh transaction fees when you use payment channels. And with payment channels, you can only use XRP.

[00:07:32]But wait, China doesn't trust US. US doesn't trust China.

[00:07:37]How do they how do you how do you work that? Oh, you need interrupt. You need a neutral a neutral platform. Nobody controls it.

[00:07:44]Nobody owns it, but everybody benefits from it. Oh, that's so bullish.

[00:07:50]Say it with me. So, this one time.

[00:07:52]Super.

[00:07:54]You You jumped the gun. You said it too fast. Super bullish.

[00:08:00]You got to explode with the bullish.

[00:08:02]Super bullish.

[00:08:04]Wait a minute. They don't trust each other in neutral interoperability layer.

[00:08:08]They just had a meeting. They came to What? What deals did they You think that the deals that they're talking about in the media right now that that's really what it was all about?

[00:08:16]Do you believe that folks? They're pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. They're about to make generational wealth times four both from the native cryptos. That's where the money is one and those commodities and all almost everyone who's in the industry they know they know and gold is going to in my humble opinion not financial advice. I'm not an absolutist. I'm not saying my way of thinking, my pathway is the only way.

[00:08:48]I can respect you. Okay, you have a different idea. Fine. I'm not going to fight you and gold is going to skyrocket.

[00:08:55][laughter] It's inevitable, folks. It's they're going back to something very close to a gold standard. Very to protect those all that value. You cannot trust the fiat currency. No one does. Hey, I can't tell everyone what to do out there, but I'm telling you right now, those in the industry don't trust fiat currencies. Central banks don't trust fiat currencies. Regular banks don't trust fiat currencies. The governments who issue the fiat currencies don't care and don't trust them. That's why gold is where's what's gold's price right now, folks? Let me ask you a question. Is gold near $1,600, 1,700? Absolutely not. Was it near 4,500? Something like that?

[00:09:38]>> [laughter] >> Folks, I'm telling you, times have never been more bullish than right now. I'm talking about opportunity, not financial advice, just my humble opinion. But look at it for yourself. Is listen, each person must walk their own path. You see the path, you choose the path, you walk the path. No one can do it for you. All right? And I respect you. So, I'm not trying to slant you this way or that way. Just my humble opinion. I'm just sharing a little bit of research, little bit of opinion. So, you have this going on. But wait, let's go here to this next article. Okay, so XRPL undergrowing undergrowing undergoing is suspicious upgrades [snorts] just h maybe it's for the banks. I don't know. Right. It's built for the banks, right? Let's go here. Wait a minute.

[00:10:23]Bank of Japan. What are you saying here?

[00:10:26]Um Japan runs will run on XRP SBI banks coming out. We save 60%. Ripples's running wild in Japan as well. What's this? This article is titled Bank of Japan's Hamino calls for holistic approach on global monetary system.

[00:10:48]Really holistic approach. What do you mean by that sir?

[00:10:52]It begins here. Bank of Japan deputy governor, so it's serious. Deputy Governor Rio Himino urged global leaders to adopt a holistic approach quote unquote when designing the future monetary system emphasizing that development should not be restricted to central bank digital currency CBDC's.

[00:11:15]They started to come back, didn't they?

[00:11:17]All in their in their documents, they're talking about that again. What happened people? I thought they backed away from it. I told you they're setting the people up when the stable coins do their job, right? And well, I mean, they're they're going to be the whipping boy, the fall guy, right? When private credit, commercial real estate, unrealized losses, uninsured deposits, and insured deposits have a problem in the in the something systemic occurs, they they'll blame it all on stable coins. Although stable coins do play their will play their part, for sure.

[00:11:43]They're not the cause at all. They're just going to take the fall. Just my humble opinion. You don't have to agree.

[00:11:49]But when that happens, then they're going to say, "Well, see, we couldn't trust the stable coins. We want to help everybody. We got to we got to make sure you get your paychecks, your mortgage pay. We got to let's let's operate with central bank money. CBDC's. They're going to slide the CBDC's in and the people going to accept it because they'll be in the time of desperation.

[00:12:06]And in the time, like I said, they control and manipulate people through emotions. They get you emotional, keep you emotional. That's why all the media, they keep it every every medium, they keep it chalk full of emotions. It makes you upset, makes you sad, makes you depressed, makes you hopeless, then they give you hope, then they take it away.

[00:12:23]It's the conditioning for times like this where they move that pawn on the board, right? And they implement something, then it gets you emotional.

[00:12:33]I'm so desperate. I'm so sad. And then they say, well, here's a life preserver.

[00:12:36]And you accept it because you're in that emotional state. You're not thinking clearly when you're emotional.

[00:12:42]I learned that from wrestling early on.

[00:12:44]Can't wrestle angry. Have to be clearminded.

[00:12:47]That anger makes you lose energy. You can't think clearly. You can't strategize.

[00:12:53]stay calm, cool, calm, and collected, right? And you make your you make your decisions. That's how you're supposed that's how you're supposed to be. So anyway, they'll slide the CBDC's in there. But let's continue on with what he's saying here. Speaking at the annual meeting of the Japan Society for Monetary Economics, Hamino stated that a comprehensive layout must look beyond these two popular trends to include next generation tools like tokenized bank deposits.

[00:13:22]Weren't we just talking about that? Huh?

[00:13:24]You see that last members only video?

[00:13:26]You want to check these last like the last four or five. Check the watch them all back to back to back to back. You don't have to. I'm telling you there's great information in there. Great information. Um, why is he saying that?

[00:13:37]Because these are dangerous and he knows it. Japan, as perspacious as they are, you know, don't get me wrong, all of these governments are struggling with their financial uh uh infrastructures, their financial setups, period. United States struggle in China. So, Japan's not the only one. But they're perspacious enough to say to themselves in Japan, we don't want our system to just collapse. We don't want something systemic to happen. They don't they actually don't want problems. So, they're like, "Hey, listen guys.

[00:14:06]I know what you're trying to do here cuz we're smart.

[00:14:10]Let's Can we back off the stable? Let's have some other stuff going on. Don't just push this CBDC stable coin thing.

[00:14:16]Why do they include CBDC's when people haven't spoken about CBDC's publicly in the longest time? These institutions haven't been pushing CBDC's heavy like that? Why do they mention that?

[00:14:25]Especially the United States. Why do they mention that? They just had a meeting with the United States, so that's relevant. Why do they mention that?" Hm. Right. Because in their documents, he knows that they're pushing it behind the scenes. He knows that they're setting that that up to to come into play when stable coins fail in my humble opinion.

[00:14:43]And he's saying, "Listen, let's back off of this. You're playing with fire." And they're he's not understanding. He's he's just, you know, uh maybe he has a good heart or something like that. I'm I'm going to give him uh that little credit. I don't know this person. I'm going to give him that credit. Let's say he has a good heart. Well, those other people, not so much. They're like, "Yeah, we're playing with fire and I got the gasoline right here, baby.

[00:15:05]They're ready to kick the tires and light the fires." He doesn't He's trying to trying to stop this. But let's continue on here. And I hope he doesn't get into some trouble. Almost everybody that goes against this agenda gets into some trouble. Their career gets put in jeopardy somehow. They try to get them out of there. Let's continue on. It says speaking at the annual okay so monetary economics amino stated that okay let's roll let's scroll down here wait United States has prohibited the issuance of retail CBDC's focusing instead on promoting stable you believe that cuz they said it when what we've seen is they rename something change a few technical details here and there and roll it out under another name and the people don't even know they do this all the time that Sounds good. It's not reality. Like what? It's prohibited.

[00:16:01]What's the difference between a CBDC because the Fed put out that document that was saying but the Fed is the first one to say there's very little difference between a CBDC and a controlled stable coin.

[00:16:14]They're looking to control stable coins.

[00:16:16]Did you see the document that they put out about a week ago? I posted it here on the channel or we covered it here on the channel and they were now this one I'll talk about and they said you know stable coins have to they pretty much have to be controlled if they're coming out of the US and if they want to sanction somebody you know all the negative things that they done with the regular fiat currency system the swift system that turned the world against the swift system they want to do the same thing with stable coins that document was out there it's still out there. So, what's the difference between a stable coin that's controlled and programmable, is going to have things layered on top of it, absolutely controlled by the US or any other government, and a CBDC? What's the difference? And then once more, we already heard the Fed come out and say, well, there's very little difference between a stable coin and a CBDC.

[00:17:03]And they said in that same document, this is about 3 years ago, that video is still up if anybody wants to find it or can't find it. A lot of people do find those old videos and they can get that document and bring it back to the forefront for for people to see. And they said we may not need a CBDC retail because we'll have stable coins. So what's the difference? What's the difference?

[00:17:28]Let's let's continue. Except for the stable coins going to be used as a fall guy, of course. Um let's continue on here. So, Europe is aggressively advancing digital euro specifically to solve that. They're having problems with that. I I don't want to talk about that, right? They're having problems. You've heard what we covered on the channel. We'll see where that goes. [snorts] Japan is intentionally preparing for both paths because they're smart. The nation has pioneered comprehensive stable coin legislation while sim simultaneously running a robust CB CBDC retail pilot program. My apologies. [clears throat] There is pollen everywhere right now in my area.

[00:18:06]Wash my car off, come out the next day, it's green cuz of pollen. Well, well, I'm right under a tree. I got a lot of trees. Them tree I'm not put I'm not taking my trees away. No, I'm going to leave them right there. They've been They've done a great job with shade and stuff like that. They're nice and healthy. I've taken care of them.

[00:18:20]Sometimes they even water the tree roots. Yeah, I do that sometimes. I'm watering the other plants. Why not? I give the trees a little bit of water.

[00:18:26]It's been hot lately. But anyway, yeah.

[00:18:29]So there's a lot of pollen all in the air and it's getting in my throat. My apologies, folks. I am but a man. Let's continue on here. So the core components of Himino's proposal to build a resilient future financial architecture.

[00:18:43]H resilient. You mean like an immutable ledger? They said Japan will run on XRP.

[00:18:50]Yet a bunch of banks praise XRP and XRPL. Resilience. So one piece goes down, it doesn't affect the rest of the chain. Hm. Sounds a lot like XRP. Let's continue on here. I'm just these are my thoughts. Of course, your thoughts may go in a different direction. Heino argued that global policy makers must balance technical feasibility, h user convenience, financial stability, and monetary policy through a broader spectrum of tools. Of course, in order to accomplish all that, you would need something neutral, right? Merging traditional commercial bank credit with digital ledger speed.

[00:19:22]H, you get the most speed out of the XRPL and XRP. with payment channels. You save the most money with XRP and they know it. Japan. See, I love Japan for that. They're being so forthcoming and telling us how much they love XRP from this banking consortium.

[00:19:36]Interesting. All right, let's leave that one there cuz I want to get to my word.

[00:19:41]I hope I didn't take too long in the video. Let's get to a little bit of Solana news and then perhaps we will end off with a little bit of Bitcoin news as usual. So, this article is titled Solana price prediction. Soul faces $100 wall.

[00:19:54]Amid split outlook, Solana trades at $8646 amid a split market outlook split. All right, let's continue. It faces a harsh $100 resistance wall. You already told me that. Why are you repeating yourself here? Uh market experts highlight the $98 ceiling. A breakout could clear paths towards $250. I'm not worried about this right now at all. I'm long-term with Solon. 250 given everything that Solana is doing, all the potentiality. Yeah, I'm not worried about this at all. I'm not worried about 98 or 100 or 250. I'm not I'm just being honest with you. You don't have to agree with me. A lot of people don't. Some people agree, some people don't. 250 given the right circumstances in the right time, Solana will skyrocket past that easily. Very easily. You hear how all the financial institutions talking about staking? They're drooling over staking and lending.

[00:20:48]Right? You see all the financial institutions trying to work with Solana right now. Let's see what happens in the future. Just let's wait for let's let them show us. But if that potentiality comes to fruition.

[00:21:02]Yeah. Yeah. It's going to it'll skyrocket skyrocket past 250 easily.

[00:21:07]Just my humble opinion. All right. This is not your price prediction. It's my price. That's my price prediction. And I didn't put a set price. I'm just saying it could go past that. That's just my humble belief. Um, so now, okay, that's a little Solana news. Let's go here to a little bit of Bitcoin news. So, Abu Dhabi fund grows Bitcoin stake.

[00:21:29]Really? Abu Dhabi? Look at those money makers over there. So, Bitcoin super bullish as opposed to what the mainstream media would lead you to believe. Well, let's read this little tidbit here. Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Company increased its stake in Black Rockck's eyesshares Bitcoin trust by 16% during the first quarter of 2026. According to his Q1202613F filing with the SEC, the 330 uh billion plus fund expanded its holdings from 12,700 oh not 12,000 my apologies 12 million72,323 shares to 14,721,917 shares. I almost messed that up. You almost let somebody was like, "No, Mick, I didn't let you get away with that. I was on top of it. I knew you were messing up. This brings [laughter] Mubadala's direct position value to nearly $660 million.

[00:22:28]So, they're super bullish on it. The latest acquisition acquisition marks an unbroken accumulation streak by Mubadala that dates back to late 2024.

[00:22:40]Mubadala's mandate is centered on diversifying Abu Dhabi's government's revenue streams away from oil. Oh, that's going to be easy. That's going to be easy. But that's going to happen through other RWA. They're rich in um a lot of commodities in that region if if what I researched and looked up was correct. And I looked at a few sources.

[00:23:01]Um so [snorts] they definitely will be able to diversify easily with RWA coming in. RWA in combination with um all of that new satellite technology. All right. All right. So, we're going to end it off right there. So, Bitcoin looks super bullish. Abu Dhabi knows it. I know it. What do you think about that?

[00:23:20]So, now that you have that information, what are you going to do with it? I know what I'm going to do with it. So, until next time, everybody, let's get to the money.
