HOLY SMOKES! XRP Price, Facts 💥

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]Welcome back, guys. Hope you're all having a great day out there. Well, holy smokes, we just got in some news, some information that proves XRP holders, we've been right all along. And those that are hating out there on XRP right now, they're not going to want to hear this one because we're going to give you the straight facts, right? We're going to talk to you about exactly what's happening right now. And I do want to talk about XRP's price in 2026. We're not looking 2027, 2030, and beyond. I want to talk about XRP right now and what is coming. Several things to put out. If you do like this type of content, appreciate what we're doing here. Type a X in the comment section.

[00:00:33]Smash that like button. Let's get into it. And by the way, thank you to everyone that gave me the get well wishes yesterday. Feeling a whole lot better. I'm pretty sure my son as I stayed yesterday brought something home from preschool. Gave me kind of like a head cold thing. Probably about 90% on the throat. You're probably here. I'm a little raspy still, but feeling a whole lot better. Now, when we look at what is going on with XRP, and I want to talk about this information that just came in. actually a few different things that just came in that proves we're right and what is coming is an explosion. It's those XRP haters out there that for years, same song and dance, same old song and dance say nothing's ever going to happen, right? And we know that XRP goes for long stretches, periods of time where nothing happens and bam, explodes, pops out of nowhere when people are least expecting it. And so you have to be prepared. And what's happening right now is the institutions are preparing.

[00:01:25]And we just had a a disclosure here that was pretty interesting to say the least.

[00:01:33]And and starting right here, Morgan Stanley, they're the largest asset manager or wealth man in wealth management in the world, right? They do 9.3 trillionish around that 9.3 trillion in assets under management where Black Rockck they do the broader broader asset management at 11 to 14 trillion. But when looking at just wealth management, Morgan Stanley sits in that number one spot. Well, guess what? Just below Morgan Stanley is UBS Global Wealth Management. They have 7 trillion with a T with assets under management. While JP Morgan who we just saw the other day we reported is working with Ripple with the XRPPPL which utili nothing works on the XRPPL without XRP but UBS and focusing on them again the world's second largest uh wealth manager in the world well they've been partnered with Ripple since 2016 for a long time. It just came out that Switzerland's largest bank has disclosed its XRP holdings. And of the XRP ETF exposure they have, this just came out of an SEC regulatory uh filing, 1.5 million in XRP related investments.

[00:02:57]Now, I know some right off the gate will say, "Well, that's not a whole lot." And you're right. 1.5 million to a institution like this really isn't a whole lot. Just like what we found with Goldman Sachs, what they hold with XRP is a lot, but it's the signal. It's the exposure that tells you exactly what they're interested in opposed to the rest of the market. But more importantly, they know what is coming.

[00:03:23]and in getting that exposure and understanding what is coming. And right now as we take a look at some of the top banks that Ripple is working with, SBI Holdings, talk about Sand Tander, PNC, Standard Charter, uh, Bank of America, Cross River Bank, BNY Melon, just to list a few. What they are doing is preparing and they always know. They know 10 steps ahead of what we do. And this is part of the reason why I think a lot of people are definitely right now grossly underestimating what XRP is going to do when things turn because things will turn as they always do. But these institutions with this exposure, it's directly signaling that they know what assets to be in prior to what is coming. Now when we look at what's going on with the clarity act being signed into law saw here today it's massively surged. It was over 70% sitting at like 69% right now on poly market. But things are getting extremely optimistic there while many out there here today are talking about aliens and what's going on with the release of those files.

[00:04:33]I'm staying focused on XRP and I continue to dollar cost average because right now XRP is still dirt cheap and that's coming from someone that's been buying XRP. I've been buying over six years in this asset class and XRP right now as it stands as a digital asset. I'm more confident than ever because I'm watching and I know many of you are and this is a big reason why I believe the XRP community, the XRP army is of the strongest community in all of crypto because you're actually doing the due diligence. You're doing the research and looking at what is actually happening, what these institutions actually have exposure to. That's what's incredibly important to understand. Again, it's not just the holdings of the 1.5 million that UBS has, but what they're signaling, what they're showing is coming. And so, here today, I did see uh interesting Tom Lee states that his price prediction for the end of the year, Bitcoin being 150 to 200,000, ETH being 9,000 to 12,000. If you look at those numbers solely, you're looking at like a 10 to1 12 $15ish XRP this year in 2026. And those prices would obviously just be if XRP continues to follow along with Bitcoin and the rest of the broader market and doesn't decouple. But that's exactly what I do think is coming is a decoupling effect from Bitcoin where XRP moves away based off its utility due to the production stage and along with that these big institutions coming in and understanding XRP uh from a standpoint of not just a store of value only situation like you have with Bitcoin but store value and utility. And again Tom Lee is not always right. He's been right in the past but not always right. None of us are, myself included, right? But when we see the market turn, as it will, it definitely will. I think most people when we when they're looking at like these price prediction projections, they're not factoring in those big institutions that now we're finding are actually getting exposure and what they're going to do in terms of pouring capital in in a big way. Because la past cycles, yeah, there was institutional interest, but nothing like there is now. And past bull runs, we didn't have all the XRP ETFs out there. So, when we see that floodgate open, we see liquidity start pouring in, it's going to pour in in a big way. But I still stand by the fact that I believe from the early days, Ripple, when they were sitting down with these big banks, these institutions out there, when they were sitting down with them, talking them across the table about what's going on with the technology and this movement and XRP, the XRPL, distributed ledger technology, all that and talking about it and them uh doing the negotiation stage, they had to have discussed XRP's price and understanding that XRP's price used at mass scale globally is more efficient at a high price. It's just simply how it all works and how it was all designed. So again, I think many people are underestimating how just how high and how quickly XRP will move. Now about an hour ago from the time of this recording, I saw something interesting that Eleanor Terret put out new in remarks given at an event today. SEC Chair Paul Atkins laid out a handful of areas where the agency is considering modernizing securities rules for onchain markets.

[00:08:17]Now, before I go further, remember that Ripple's president, Monica Long, sat down at Ripple Swell with the CEO of NASDAQ discussing what is coming with Onchain. And so as we go further, including potential rule making around what qualifies as an exchange, broker, dealer, and clearing agency in crypto, Atkins said the SEC is considering a framework for onchain trading systems through notice and comment rulemaking, including around how the definition of exchange applies to crypto markets. He also said the agency is reviewing how broker and dealer rules apply to onchain activity and software interfaces potentially through exemptive rulemaking. Furthermore, she put on clearing Atkins said the SEC is considering whether traditional clearing agency model, listen closely here, still fits onchain systems where settlement is near instant and counterparty risk is managed algorithmically. He also signaled the agency is looking at how to regulate crypto vaults that generate onchain yield particularly around the securities act and investment advisors act issues.

[00:09:43]Ladies and gentlemen, they know exactly what is coming because of what is happening and what's been happening.

[00:09:52]Ripple having been working with UBS since 2016, it's blatantly obvious. The facts are there. And there's a reason why UBS has exposure to XRP opposed to some dog and frog coin that is not a solution to global finance. It is because XRP is XRP is a solution that has real utility, has real use cases. And that is why you see the world's second largest wealth manager out there getting into XRP along with Goldman Sachs and the rest of those ETFs that are going to come in in a big big way when all this goes live. Now, I did see about 39 minutes ago from the time of this recording, SEC Chair Paul Atkins calls for Congress to pass crypto market structure legislation and quote, "Send the Clarity Act to the president's uh President Trump's desk. Will it happen or will it not?" Right now, odds are for it, but regardless, we're still going to get liquidity cycles. We're going to see uh the e the crypto market move higher once again. It's not forever going to stay down. And so this is the time to get in. When XRP is cheap as it is when we get these opportunities, they don't last forever. Things are going to happen fast. It's going to be rapid in my personal opinion. We got to stay locked in. Again, this is why I believe the XRP community is the smartest out there because regardless all the ups and downs we've been through, the SEC case, all of that, we continue to stay locked in because we know the vision. We can see what's in front of us and we don't get cluted out by some of the short-term noise because there's plenty of it out there. We know XRP has its role. It's been chosen and the facts are there to prove it. Those are my thoughts, my opinions. I'll have IT Trust Capital link below if you need institutional grade custody.
