🚨 BILLIONAIRE: "XRP IS THE BEST BET TODAY!" 🚨 XLM UNLOCKS TRILLIONS FOR DTCC - WHICH IS BETTER!?

Added: 2026-06-04

[00:00:00]P probably is the best.

[00:00:02]>> Did you just say XRP is probably the best?

[00:00:05]>> Yeah. I mean, right now, if you had if you had a bet on a horse to become transactional, it would probably be XRP. Yeah. I I just think most end up jumping.

[00:00:18]>> I didn't imagine that Peter Brunt would be talking about XRP, but I mean, you you do you learn something new every Stellar CEO just gave a massive update that every single one of our listeners needs to be aware of as they've just inked a multi-trillion dollar partnership with the DTCC focused on the tokenization of real world assets. But she stated this is only the beginning for the XLM community claiming that their business model will disrupt everything. We're also going to be breaking down how Peter Brandit just called XRP the best bet in the crypto markets today. With one of the most successful forex traders now acknowledging the XRP price chart could be ready for a major move. We're going to be focusing on how the Clarity Act could be the catalyst that kicks everything off for XRP.

[00:01:09]Eastern time. And we're going to kick off today's episode diving straight into this breaking news. But I wanted to make a reference to the XLM and XRP price chart. As our listeners can tell, if these two fractalss remain as consistent as they've been, a major move is coming for XRP. And when we look at some of the broader markets here, Johnny, XLM is continuing to climb while Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the rest of the market are continuing on a downtrend. So, what's very interesting is that this DTCC news is big enough to carry XLM against the momentum of the market. But that's not the only exciting thing happening for the XLM community today, as earlier this morning, the XLM price chart glitched all the way to $2.20. 20 cents on one of the largest global exchanges, Upbit. And this isn't the first time we've seen this happen with XLM or XRP. But I do find it fascinating that it's always these two projects that have these massive global liquidity wicks. Now, when you factor all this into the news that we received over the past week or so, which is that XLM is going to be working directly with the DTCC to tokenize over $114 trillion worth of real world assets. Mickel came in and commented they can only keep the market down for so long. And so I think there's a lot that's happening in the background, but I wanted to kick off today's episode with a brand new update from the Stellar CEO. She's talking about how Stellar's partnership with the DTCC is a sneak peek into the background of how interoperability, compliance, and overall industry participation will revolutionize the way financial services are conducted today. But if you're excited and you're bullish on XLM and XRP, smash that like button. Leave some of your thoughts underneath the video.

[00:02:39]Here's what the stellar CEO had to say.

[00:02:41]>> How should people actually be thinking about this? And is there anything that didn't really make the story quote unquote uh that you want to highlight here?

[00:02:48]>> Well, I mean, from our standpoint, DTCC is going to explain why they've made decisions around the networks that they're building on, and there will be others to follow, uh, for sure. But I think the thing that is most exciting to me and this is the the reason why I look at Stellar as being such strong financial software is that having compliance at the base layer, being able to, you know, one of the things when I first came into crypto and and what I saw in the market was we're going to disrupt everything on the financial services side and we're going to take all of that infrastructure and make it go away and we're going to replace it with this new infrastructure. I always felt like there was this need for this interoperability because we even at that time and even when we came out and we talked about money being an on and off ramp for us and why that was so important it was important because you can use this infrastructure once you're there but getting on the infrastructure you need to get there so you need the on-ramps right so you need that combination with traditional financial infrastructure and that interoperability to really make this work and I think the biggest signal to me is that having that compliance at the base layer allowing institutions to be able to choose which things work for them as they issue these assets. Thinking about compliance and thinking about the regulatory environment as you're building the software. That's how we always did it.

[00:04:02]One of the things that I used to say is that we let the perfect be the enemy of the good all the time at Stellar in the early days. We built for institutions when institutions weren't there. And so, yeah, it's taken time for us to get there. But all of those things and and those even like when I think about privacy and how you need to think about institutional privacy and allowing them to have choices around it, all of those things are part of this story even though they've happened, you know, seven years ago or 14 years ago if you think about the early days of uh when Stellar came to play. So, I think it's um there's so much to this and it's a true signal about the value of the tech stack, but it's also a true signal of what's been happening in our industry for a really long time that we've been building these things and now it's finally coming to fruition that that folks see the value.

[00:04:50]>> So, this is why I feel as if we're at an inflection point for the industry, Johnny, because not only have they perfected many of these use cases in the background, we're finally about to get the regulation that's necessary so everybody can adopt these technologies.

[00:05:01]And what Stellar CEO is acknowledging here is that seven, eight years, even 14 years in some of these different use cases, people have been developing and building, but full-scale adoption is yet to take place. With regulation now entering this market and major partnerships like the DTCC being acknowledged publicly, it feels like we're at the forefront of this digital asset revolution. But what are some of your thoughts? Well, we're near the the beginning of it, but listen, what she said was so cru crucial there. And for technical, if you're not technical, you might have missed it, but really what she was trying to say is, look, we've been developing this thing for years, 14 years to to be accurate. And we took a guess of what we thought institutions want. And ABS, this will be the first time where we're finally getting where the rubber meets the road, where institutions are playing with it and go, "Well, yeah, we don't really want that, we don't want this, we want this, we don't want that." you know, she literally talked to you or she literally just talked about how the privacy is important and she talked about giving options to what the customers want. So, here's what's really going to happen is they've got let's assume there's about 60 70% of it done. I mean, it's all done, but the point is what they built and what customers are going to want is only going to be maybe 60% there, 70% there. And now that they're going to be able to get it in the hands of their customers and the banks that are going to use it, they're going to go, "Okay, well, we want this, we want you to add that, we want you to rewrite the code."

[00:06:14]You know, when she talks about the tech stack, that's what she's talking about.

[00:06:17]They took guesses on what they thought customers wanted, but now they're learning what customers are really going to want. And that's a good thing because then they're going to revise the code and put in there the things that they want. And all of that will happen because we have a Clarity Act because the Clarity Act is really going to be the key to kind of the lynch pin, if you will, to unlock it all. So, so companies can invest full boring to this stuff.

[00:06:37]And when they do, it doesn't mean it's going to be ready off the shelf. But what it means is these companies and you just heard you see over there a seller seller talk about hey we're gonna we're going to listen to what our customer what she's basically telling us we're going to listen to what our customers tell you tell us and we're going to revise the code as we need to to make sure we give them options. You heard her say that because she understands privacy options and all these other things that they need. They may be in there. They may not depending on what kind of guess these guys took when they wrote this stuff 14 years ago. They didn't know what a customer wants 14 years ago. They took the best guess. That's how you do code. So for me, this is great. This is just technology progressing and this is why it takes a long time to get there and in the working and in the makings.

[00:07:16]But I absolutely can't help but feel like we are we are getting on the cusp of finally getting this technology. We know now companies want it. No question about that. Now they just need the approval from the government to go ahead and do it. And that's really the big next step.

[00:07:33]>> Well, the next big step here, guys, is going to be does the Clarity Act get signed in the summer of 2026? One's underneath the video for yes, two's underneath the video for no. But Senator Cynthia Lumis just came out with a brand new warning stating that China will write the rules of crypto if Congress stalls the Clarity Act. Senator Cynthia Lumis has taken to X multiple times today to warn that if the US does not establish the standard for digital asset regulation, China will. And these are the type of arguments that we love to see, Johnny Crypto, because this goes to show anytime America wants to get something done. We state if we don't take advantage of this opportunity, our global counterparts will. So that to me feels like the United States government is pulling the last pin on the negotiation here and it's coming at a perfect time as we could see this thing marked up sometime in the month of June.

[00:08:18]Now, we've talked a lot about why the Clarity Act is important for the broader digital asset market, but I wanted to lay the conversation to rest about why XRP needs the Clarity Act as well. So, Charuse on XRP, and this guy's been putting out phenomenal content on X, he stated, "Thinking that the commodity label is enough for the pricing misses the bigger picture here with XRP from a financial infrastructure and interbanking perspective. The Clarity Act is absolutely critical. And the main reason for this is because XRP was developed for institutional liquidity and we're not going to see these institutions rapidly step into this market without getting regulation across the finish line. Now, yes, the SEC and CFTC have classified XRP as a digital commodity, and that's a great first step, but this status alone is not enough to swing the doors open for trillions of dollars worth of institutional capital. If the law does not pass, a true re-evaluation for the XRP token will not happen. And that's according to Terus. The commodity label merely saves XRP from illegal gridlock by ending that securities lawsuit.

[00:09:20]However, what will truly send the price skyrocketing is the opening of those massive institutional pipelines at full capacity. And banks will not sit on trill trillion dollar settlement table with any asset that lacks the backing of a federal statutory guarantee like the Clarity Act. Without the law, the pipes remain narrow. That means these banks aren't going to be onboarded as rapidly into blockchain products. And if the pipes remain narrow, the mathematical price squeeze and reevaluation that we've all been talking about simply will not happen. Now, let him reiterate. Of course, Brad Garlinghouse naturally has to give the political and positive answer when asked about when the Clarity Act will happen. But stop writing your own case scenarios saying we don't need the Clarity Act. And Johnny, I think this is a phenomenal evaluation, but I'm going to take it even one step further.

[00:10:07]We now have industry executives like JP Morgan CEO Jamie Diamond coming out and acknowledging we are also going to be using blockchain technology regardless of how we feel about this asset class.

[00:10:18]Here's the clip.

[00:10:18]>> Given the fact that the bank has moved forward with some crypto products uh adopting some aspects of blockchain, has your opinion about cryptocurrencies changed?

[00:10:28]>> It's not about cryptocurrencies. We you we're one of the biggest use of blockchain. I think blockchains we've been talking about for 15 years. Okay, we're still talking about it. I do think it'll replace financial market infrastructure. We have a JP Morgan deposit coin. We can already move money 247. But I do think, you know, when when crypto folks point out the weaknesses, they're right. You know, you can there a lot of change make it better. Fed wire could be, you know, the Fed wire is five days a week and you know, 10 hours a day. It could be why not six days a week, 20 hours a day. And real time payments have a huge benefit for people.

[00:11:00]All true cross border costs too much and we will be part of fixing that and I'm not that worried about stable coins.

[00:11:05]I've always all I've ever said about that. If you have them, they should have the same rules and regulations as us.

[00:11:10]>> Jamie T is smart. He understands the difference between the blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency. And he's full boore 100% behind blockchain.

[00:11:17]He always has been. It's cryptocurrency that he's always pushed back on going, do you really need it? You know, what's it worth? That whole thing. And there's a lot of people questioning and wondering what what the cryptocurrency will be worth versus the underlying blockchain technology. And I think frankly that's one of the things we're going to learn during this whole speculative, you know, run we get. But again, all that will be triggered by the Clarity Act. Once we start getting that, we'll start to see where companies are placing their bets. We'll see what blockchains they value. And basically, the way to access the blockchain is through the cryptocurrency. Or at least that's what I believe is going to happen. So if they if they believe in that, they'll place a bet on it by by picking up some of the cryptocurrency.

[00:11:53]And I think, you know, you heard JP Morgan there, a CEO there, talk about, oh, we've already got our coin and you know, we can move money 24/7 and we should be moving money 247. Markets should open up. There will be a ton of innovation. A abs, the world will be a different place when this is all said and done because things you're used to of, you know, the stock market up from 9:30 to 4:30 or 4 p.m. and Monday through Friday, five, you know, five days a week. That's all going to change, right? You may have a you may have a 247 roundthe-clock stock market the way we have crypto market, right? There's no reason why you can't. And that means everything every single financial system in the world can change, which means you can withdraw and send money and do things with your bank. There's so many possibilities that will all start to come into play here, I think, once we get this piece done. That's why that's why everybody, I think, is pushing so hard on this because Clear Act is so key in certain areas for innovation to occur. And I think banks want to make sure that they don't miss anything because they already screwed it up in the Genius Act. They don't want to make that mistake again in the Clarity Act.

[00:12:52]Here's the really important issue that I think we're going to get an answer to as well is how much does the entire industry thrive and how much is it just 10 to 25 projects that all these institutions are using that thrive. Now, my theory is and I've been very outspoken about this. I think projects like XRP, like XLM, like HAR, the ones that see institutional adoption, they're going to separate from the rest of the crypto market. And this is often called the decoupling event. If you've been in the market for several years, you've heard that term thrown around many times. And I think what will kick off the decoupling event will be the utilitydriven assets separating themselves from some of these traditional projects that just trade alongside Bitcoin. Like yes, maybe Litecoin and Polygon, maybe those projects will survive for the next 25 years, but I don't think they're going to have nearly the price appreciation opportunity that something like an XLM or an XRP will will have. And we're starting to see smart investors come to this same conclusion, Johnny Crypto, because not only is XLM continuing to outperform the market, going from 14 cents to 28 cents at the time of this episode, but we opened up this show with Peter Brandit talking about how XRP is the best bet in the crypto market today.

[00:13:58]The reason behind that is because he thinks this token has the number one chance of revolutionizing global payments. Well, as many smart investors come to these same conclusions, they're going to start placing their bets, and it's only a matter of time before that has an impact on many of our favorite price charts.
