HOLY CR*P WALL-STREET JUST BOUGHT UP XRP?!??!

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]Imagine waking up and realizing the same financial giants who just invested tens of billions of dollars into spot Bitcoin and Ethereum products are starting to funnel money into XRP through ETFs.

[00:00:13]We're talking about Wall Street banks trillion dollar asset managers and global corporations finally getting a compliant one-click button for XRP exposure and also pressure from their clients not to miss out. In this video, we're going to take a step back and look at the actual numbers of financial institutions and banks and how much money could realistically go into XRP over the next few years. We are seeing regulations now being pushed through here in America and that could kick off trillions of dollars of investment into the crypto space and I'd argue it's already started. So, let me go through this information and really open your eyes to what I am seeing and what the true potential here could be for XRP holders. Now, if you're not familiar with a spot product crypto product, let me just go through that real fast. A spot XRP ETF is a regulated fund that holds actual XRP and trades on a stock exchange, giving investors price exposure through a normal brokerage account without them having to buy and custody the crypto asset. If you look at some of the largest fund managers in Wall Street uh investors here in BlackRock, Vanguard, Fidelity, UBS, State Street, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Goldman, BNY, all in crypto or getting into crypto as we speak. The IBIT Black Rockck Bitcoin ETF was the most popular uh ETF in history for Black Rockck. We know that they're going to be launching uh ETF products outside of Bitcoin and Ethereum. We're just waiting for the announcement on probably an XRP and a Salana product. Uh if you're talking about this $60 trillion of combined assets, if we just saw a ultraconervative case of 0.05 to 0.10 that would be 30 to60 billion into XRP.

[00:01:57]If we're talking about a moderate case of investment here, 0.25 to 0.50, we're talking about 150 to 300 billion investment into XRP. And if we could get 1% of this value of the 60 trillion, you're talking about 600 billion potentially going into XRP creating some insane deep liquidity. And it's not just the large financial institutions. It's also global banks that have to make a decision here to offer crypto and custody to their clients or not. And I think the banks that decide to do it first will be the biggest winners in the end here. But one global ranking that covers significant banks across a 100 countries includes about a thousand banks. These are already larger end of the spectrum and not community banks.

[00:02:39]With that group, their top 100 to 200 banks alone hold 150 to $200 trillion in assets. Judging from the rankings, the top 36 hold over 1 trillion in assets and are denominated here in the multihundreds of billions of institutions. So there's an additional here in the top banks $150 to $200 trillion. If we could start seeing some of this value also transacting going into XRP, you can see that the numbers could get into the trillions here. And of course, when you're looking at large corporations globally that all need some type of AI and crypto infrastructure, they need to expand and have some type of program that allows them to invest and maybe and have a digital asset treasury. There's 40,000 to 50,000 large companies globally. Even if only 5 to 10% of them adopt active crypto strategies over this next cycle, that implies the order of 2,000 to 5,000 corporates on top of the banks that would make a move into crypto here, probably into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and I would imagine XRP. Now, also, you're talking about corporates touching crypto treasury payments and tokenization, right? We all know that these banks understand that the future is coming.

[00:03:46]regulation is is being passed down here and if they adopt the technology and they can use the technology to move value instantaneously anywhere in the world they can free up some of that trap capital in Nostro VRO accounts and that trap capital where do you think it'll end up I'd imagine some of that will end up in the crypto space through ETF products as well as uh maybe straight investment into the tokens themselves and so I just wanted to take a look here like how much money if you had 2,000 to 5,000 corporates and you got 0.25 25 to 1% you're talking about 150 to $800 billion of additional investment into possible XRP and other crypto assets.

[00:04:22]And I did want to take a look here at like what kind of impact could this have on price. And so we know that when you invest $100 into XRP, it doesn't change the market cap $100. We know that there is a market cap multiplier involved there. We don't know how high and how long the market cap multiplier will be there. But if we use a 50x, 100x, and 200x on some of this money, just to show you here, 64 billion, 128 billion, and 256 billion investment into XRP, you could move the market cap from, you know, as low as 3.2 trillion to as high as 50 trillion, which would give you close to $1,000 XRP price. And this is on the very low end of total capital that will come into the crypto market over the next few years. And we know that Black Rockck has, you know, there is rumors that Black Black Rockck is, you know, days or moments away from launching an XRP product. If they were to move forward, they would probably need half a billion to a billion XRP to launch this product. And so that could be an insane amount. You're talking about.5 to 1% of the entire XRP float already uh in just for Black Rockck spot ETF once they decide to launch it. And if you take a look here at the ETF lows just yesterday, Bitcoin was 46 million.

[00:05:34]Ethereum is 11 million. XRP was 13 million here outperforming Ethereum. So there is a lot of demand for institutional use cases. Now I did want to show you here we are at now 847.88 million XRP locked up. We're at 849 79% of the total supply. Week 19 saw 24.16 million XRP taken out. Bitwise is here leading today with $13 million on May 7th and the price is $142.

[00:06:03]Just the other day, right, just on April 14th, this was 771 million and now it's 847 million. So, you can see just in a few weeks, there's been over 60 70 million XRP that has been bought through ETF products while the market has been kind of trading sideways and all of these different macro events are happening. So, we're going to get close here to having 1% of the XRP supply locked up. And there's going to be new products that are going to be launched once we kind of kick ourselves out of this bare market. And we already know there's digital asset treasury companies like Evernorth that are going to come in and support growth for XRP even more. And if we get other digital asset treasury companies that are going to launch here, locking up even more XRP, that could be a significant boom for us. Ever said 120 million flowed into XRP ETFs this week.

[00:06:53]This is back on April 14th, the strongest weekly inflow since December 2025. So, we are already seeing right now a kind of a lull at the start of the month, but as regulation gets closer here in the United States, people are positioning right now. This is why I am still buying XRP at these prices. If it goes lower, I'll buy and bring my cost average down per token. Uh, but this is really uh starting to look exciting. ETF buys XRP and holds it. doesn't provide liquidity, participate in lending markets, or support onchain settlement.

[00:07:23]It's capital validating the asset without activating the network. It's still a good thing ETFs are how institutions say, "We believe in this asset without engaging in what I can do with it." But the next phase of institutional participation looks more like capital contributing to market depth, settlement, efficiency, and onchain utility. So, it starts with, hey, how can I just hold this asset and and have it go up over time and and and earn value that way, but it will turn into how can I then now use this asset in my infrastructure to do what we're already doing much better. And I think this is where XRP can truly help to shine. I did want to show you who is leading the way here, Bitwise, with 228 million XRP locked up. Canary Capital, which was one of the first XRP spot ETFs with 204 million locked up. Franklin Templeton at 181 million.2 21 shares at 108 million, Gayscale at 47.3 million, and Rex Osprey at 39.7 million. All accumulating XRP simultaneously. This is not one fund making a bet. This is institutional consensus forming across the entire ETF market. 2.53 billion in cumulative trading volume over 87 days, averaging 29.1 million daily, the peak of hitting 113.8 million in one day.

[00:08:37]This liquidity is deep and consistent.

[00:08:39]combined holdings are still approaching that 1 billion XRP milestone when they cross lit roughly 1.6 Six of XRP's entire circulating supply will be locked up inside regulated investment products removed from active circulation held by institutions with multi-year horizons.

[00:08:56]Every week the net inflows stay positive. The available supply shrinks.

[00:09:00]Every ETF that accumulates removes tokens from the market. Every institutional allocation deepens the floor underneath the price. 831 million XRP lock heading toward a billion. price still sits at levels that don't reflect the ETF data and screaming. Also, the price doesn't reflect the actual utility of XRP, the token. If you look at all of the partnerships and connections that Ripple has made globally, working with dozens of central banks and a lot of announcements that we haven't yet seen, what happens when we get one of the, you know, mega announcement where everyone rushes to buy XRP. That's what we're really hoping. And of course, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley did say that institutional investors right now in the bare market are buying XRP.

[00:09:43]>> I do think there's always there's always a mix. It's it's a helpful mix because the trading activity creates volume and volume is a feature for everyone else, but across many different assets, our XRP ETF has taken in hundreds of millions of flows amidst two quarters of a bare market. So, there's conviction out there. Maybe not in every room or at every conference, but uh the capital markets are broad and and deep. And I think uh crypto is is reaching people with conviction.

[00:10:08]>> Remember the stock market's not going to go up forever. You have a midterm year.

[00:10:11]They're pumping. They're trying to get everyone people's 401ks are pumping. All this this stuff is really good. Sooner or later, the people are going to be taking profit and reooking to circle that back into the crypto market and that's where things could get really interesting. I do think you are going to get a lot of retail that is going to come back once a regulation happens because you know they were here before and they're just waiting for something big to happen for the liquidity to come back into the uh ecosystem. Also you have companies like Flare building this whole DeFi ecosystem using XRP locking up XRP. If they can lock up 5 billion 10 billion XRP and reduce the supply circulating supply 5 to 10% that will also supercharge the price. So you have all of these things that are happening in the background that most people are not paying attention to. Each one of these things could be significant for XRP price going forward. They all start convening and converging at the same time. It could be exactly what we need to really finally get the price out of this kind of $140 range and send it to all-time highs. Now every day we're watching 11 million, 12 million, 15 million flows. You do see Chad Steingraber and a lot of people talking about you know the JP Morgan, Mastercard and Ono announcement making history where Ripple again and the XRP ledger are at the center of the blockchain innovation moving value across borders with some of the largest financial institutions in on the planet. Remember JP Morgan some days they move 14 trillion a day. Also Ripple is working with JP Morgan and customers through their Ripple treasury system and their netting solution. So there's a lot more to come here. more than 50 spot altcoin ETFs and another 50 crypto ETFs including spot single coin products will launch in the United States here over the next uh maybe 12 months says following the SEC's approval of generic listing standards we expect the pace of spot altcoin ETF launches to accelerate in 2026 uh and so Salana chain link ADA more HAR you're going to see it all and then also you're seeing like 3x longs granite shares 3x long short XRP ETF and reportedly targeted launch of NASDAQ today. So more products for institutional investors. This is not a spot product. Obviously, it won't affect the price. Uh but this is how institutions can leverage one way or another in the current system. And you also have UBS and other giants now having uh doing filings where you can actually see them on their filing sheet have XRP exposure. Now, this isn't a lot of money. This is 317 shares and $8,248 in this uh spot product. But you also have this volatility uh XRP ETF where they have about 1.5 million. And so hopefully this is going to grow uh over time and really uh set the stage here.

[00:12:48]And I just wanted to play this last video because this was Brad Garlinghouse in the room with all of those central bankers years ago. And if you listen to what the use case and the and the problem that Ripple is able to solve with XRP, you can kind of see where this is all going to head here.

[00:13:02]>> Competition because it requires capital to get it there. Our view in the future is you don't have to have this preunding and instead you can use a digital asset to have global liquidity on demand. Now we build upon a tech stack of an open source technology called XRP. XRP you know originally was built by some engineers who had seen some of the flaws of Bitcoin and the challenges of scalability around Bitcoin where Bitcoin today uh per transaction basis you know it's rather slow and rather expensive XRP is very very fast about a thousand times faster per transaction and a thousand times cheaper per transaction.

[00:13:33]The other dynamic of course of correspondent banking is some of the more quote unquote exotic currencies, exotic corridors have been left uh you know to kind of stand on their own and the liquidity in digital assets could be applied to actually make that much more uh democratized and a level playing field. Ripple's vision from the beginning really has been to apply these technologies in the same way that TCP IP and HTTP are the technologies underpinning the internet of information. These blockchain technologies will be the underpinnings of an internet of value where we have connected devices, we have connected information that will allow payments to flow. And as Norman's describing, you know, if you're a large corporation moving $100 million, that's one thing.

[00:14:05]If you're a, you know, freelancer working in the Philippines doing design work for a company in London and you want to get paid $30 or 30 pesos, Philippine pesos, that's not a transaction that can easily be enabled.

[00:14:15]And in fact, for the companies that enable that, they require the freelancer to set up an account and they don't actually pay it out until there's you roughly a,000 USD sitting in that account and then they would pay it out.

[00:14:24]Listen, I think XRP solves so many problems in the world today with our financial system. And I do think here it'll be at the heart of the new financial system. The real question is how much value can it capture over the next few years and how many assets will wind up on the XRP ledger to be traded uh every single day instantaneously. I hope you guys like this this video about ETFs. I'm just seeing, you know, a lot of things happening here in the background and how value is kind of moving into these types of products. And I do think this is going to be the biggest in way investors are going to invest in the crypto space over the next few years. And if we have seven spot products for ETFs right now and maybe next year we have 10 or 14 and we have a billion, two billion, five billion, 10 billion into ETFs, that is going to dramatically start affecting XRP's price and I cannot wait to get there. Let me know what you guys think down below.
