Did XLM Just Kill XRP??? *Woah*

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]There was a massive announcement this morning between Stellar and the DTCC and a lot of people are wondering what does this mean for XRP? Well guys, in this video I'm going to share with you a leaked patent that I believe tells the entire story of what we're watching right now. And anyone concerned about XRP potentially missing out or losing out to XLM, guys, you're going to want to stick around for this whole thing because I believe the narrative is not being told in the public market right now. Now, in this video, I want to break down exactly what you need to understand about this new partnership, where I stand on XLM, and everything you need to understand moving forward. Guys, make sure to stick around for this whole thing. If you enjoy videos like this, make sure to like and subscribe. And with that said, let's jump right into it. I hope you guys enjoy the content.

[00:00:42]So, let's jump right into the video. And like I said this morning, we got a massive announcement that the DTCC is partnering with Stellar. Now, a lot of people were shocked by this news, but guys, I have been continuing to say on this channel, the XRP community is far and above every other community when it comes to research. And this is actually something that has been forecasted by the XRP community for a very long time.

[00:01:06]It was actually found about a year or two ago that the DTCC already put out a patent where it explicitly mentioned both Stellar and XRP as liquidity sources for the next generation payment and settlement network they're building.

[00:01:26]It is no surprise to me at all that we saw news that the DTCC was going to be tokenizing assets on the XLM blockchain because I don't believe it stops at XLM.

[00:01:39]I 100% expect that we are going to see an announcement where the DTCC is coming out and saying that they are going to be tokenizing assets on the XRP ledger as well. So for people concerned, for people thinking, "Oh my god, XLM is now the asset I need to hold, I'm going to talk about a little bit why I don't think that's the case." And this is actually something that we covered in depth this morning in my memberonly video. So if you want more content, more up todate sort of quick takes on things happening in the market, make sure to become a member of the channel. But guys, one of the things that we already know is that Ripple already has a partnership with the DTCC. So, it's not even like we're just speculating. We're just guessing that the DTCC will one day use XRP. Ripple Prime is already a known partner of the DTCC. And in the DTC's own patents, as we talked about earlier, they are already mentioning XRP as a liquidity source directly in the patent.

[00:02:42]So, I don't think it's any stretch to think that the ATCC is also going to be tokenizing assets on the XRP ledger. In my opinion, what this proves more than anything is that both XRP and XLM are designed in a way that is extremely attractive to these large financial institutions. The amount of news and infrastructure we are getting from tests and pilots and partnerships specifically around XLM and XRP is absolutely phenomenal. And now we're just waiting for the rest of the market to really figure out what's being built here. Now I think it's really important to understand one key detail. Yes, it is massively bullish. It is so exciting to see the DTCC tokenizing assets on the XLM chain. But I want to make one thing clear because this is one of the biggest conundrums with tokenized assets right now. It is one thing to tokenize an asset, right? It is one thing to take an asset and tokenize it on a blockchain, but that's not really a gamecher because ultimately assets need to be used.

[00:03:49]Whether or not the assets are being used to trade with, whether the assets are being used to hold, whether the assets are being used to margin against, there needs to be a use for the assets. And one of the things that personally I believe might be an issue for the DTC assets tokenized on the XLM chain is a lack of actual usage of those assets.

[00:04:13]What we are seeing is there is a huge difference between being able to tokenize a bunch of assets and actually using those underlying assets once tokenized. There are a lot of assets tokenized on XLM right now, but very few are actually being used. This is where I think Ripple has a huge advantage in the structure of what they built as well as what they've acquired and what they're building toward. As we talked about before, the DTCC already has a partnership with Ripple Prime, which is a prime brokerage. A prime brokerage is exactly who you would want to be using tokenized asset because they can trade, they can settle, they can cross margin.

[00:04:58]So, Ripple, Ripple Prime is the exact use case to drive adoption of tokenized assets. And I think this is such a slept on piece. It's one thing to go tokenize a whole bunch of assets, right? And you can take any firm, tokenize a whole bunch of assets, and boom, you have tokenized assets, but if those assets aren't actually being used, traded, custodied, margined, then there was really no point in tokenizing them in the first place. What Ripple is building is a way to drive adoption of these tokenized assets. What Ripple is building is an ecosystem that actually drives utility into these vehicles. And it's not to say that Stellar won't be able to do it, right? It's not to say that the XLM assets or the assets tokenized on the XLM chain by the DTCC aren't going to be used, right? I'm not going to come out and say that. What I think will be an issue is who is specifically going to be driving volume through those assets. Specifically, Ripple has the advantage of a for-profit company with division specifically focused like Ripple Prime on driving this activity. And I just think it's one of the most slept on things about how Ripple is building their ecosystem. I promise you, one of the biggest problems right now in the tokenized asset market is driving volume through these tokenized assets, is driving utility.

[00:06:27]And I'm here to say while it's extremely exciting to see what XLM is doing with these tokenized assets, this partnership with the DTCC, I want people to be aware, right? I don't think this is exclusive of XRP as we saw in the patent. I believe we are going to see a similar announcement for the DTC tokenizing assets on the XRP ledger.

[00:06:47]What I want to make clear is the thing that I'm super excited about is when you get a DTCC like corporation tokenizing assets on the XRP ledger and then you have a prime brokerage like Ripple Prime actually able to drive real volume and utility for those tokenized assets. That to me is the killer combination that comes from the vertical integration that Ripple is driving through Prime, through custody, through their payments network, through the XRP ledger. So once again, not bearish on XLM at all. Not saying this isn't a major announcement, but just like I totally expected to see the DTCC eventually tokenizing assets on either XRP or XLM, I don't think it's going to stop at XLM. I think we're going to see XRP short after. It's these things that the XRP community continues to find that a lot of people forever said, "Oh, well, you know, that's nothing. You have to ignore that.

[00:07:47]They're not actually going to do it.

[00:07:48]They're just filing these patents for fun. Oh, you have to ignore all these documents you found with XRP all over all of these major financial institutions. Just ignore those things.

[00:07:57]Those were a long time ago. They're never going to materialize." Right?

[00:08:00]Those comments keep failing. And what keeps happening is these documents that are found in these documents that are uncovered, the partnerships slowly become more real until they materialize into a fullon public partnership. Now, the next piece of criticism is, oh well, you know, we're not actually seeing it used for anything right now. Guys, just wait. Eventually, there's not going to be any criticism left. We've already come so far in all of this and I believe it's just going to be getting more and more real until there are billions upon billions to trillions of volume being put through these networks as it's the next generation financial infrastructure. And guys, I just want to remind you outside of the utility of these networks, right? Outside of the vast amount of problems that I believe these payment networks and settlement networks are going to solve, just remember that there is an underlying transformation here as well with the asset itself. I posted this the other day and I just think it's so important to realize XRP is the first deflationary asset to have an ETF. Guys, do not forget the power of that. There's a lot of different financial products out there, a lot of different financial vehicles, a lot of assets that can be printed to infinity, a lot of assets that don't have any structural backing.

[00:09:17]The XRP in these ETFs at the moment, I believe, is the first deflationary asset to ever be put in an ETF. And guys, not only do we see the utility being driven, but we are watching right now an extremely unique asset the world has never seen before start to gain institutional adoption with tokconomics and with a structure that makes it inherently more rare than any asset that has ever been tokenized or wrapped and given access to financial institutions.

[00:09:51]So, we're just at the very start of people just starting to understand this.

[00:09:54]I think we've got a long journey ahead of us. But what I see emerging for XRP is unlike any other asset out there. So for those of you all worried about XLM being named in this partnership and us not seeing XRP quite yet, guys, just wait. I have a feeling the XRP announcement is right around the corner.

[00:10:13]And in my opinion, what Ripple is already doing with the DTCC and driving realworld settlement volume and real transactions going to make the XRP ledger likely the hub where all the meaningful transactional activity is actually taking place. Thank you so much for coming. I hope you enjoyed this update. For now, pickle out.
