THEY MADE IT OFFICIAL WE HAVE 60 DAYS!!!! (IT'S NOW OR NEVER)

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:00]Oh, look. This is me. You see? You see me? That's me bobbing and weaving all the FUD they're trying to throw at us XRP holders. They can't hit us. They can't touch us too fast. You saw that in the blink of an eye. Folks, the DTCC news, it is probably going to be the single biggest piece of news that you have ever heard. I don't know if this is going to be bigger than Ripple getting that Fed master account, if they're going to be on the same level playing field, but each one of these is setting Ripple up in a position to put XRP in the position to be clearing all the damn money. Now, throughout this video, we got a lot of interesting takes. We got a tracking service that, you know, they found my wallet with all this XRP and they want to know why I haven't touched it in years. They need to mind a damn business. But let's get into it. You see right here, DTCC, they tweeted this out building on the SEC's no action letter, meaning the SEC letting them go. I bet if Gary Gensler was still there and Jay Clay, they wouldn't let him go. They wanted to hold this country back. They wanted the whole crypto back. But as you know from the last video, if you didn't listen to it yet, I really suggest you go give it a listen. But the DTCC, they have more than 50 firms on its industries working group to create the next leg, the next financial system, the next or the first, we should say, tokenization service. Before we continue with today's XRP update, I want to quickly talk about something XRP holders have been asking me about lately. A lot of people have been asking about holding XRP long-term, waiting for the big move.

[00:01:44]But the question is, what is your XRP doing while you wait? Sitting in a wallet or is it actually working for you? That's when I've been looking into a platform called Fortress X. It allows XRP holders to put their assets into liquidity pools and generate yield while still holding long-term. No lockups, withdrawal anytime in the platforms.

[00:02:07]Now, as we discussed in the last video, Ripple was named. We've been making YouTube videos, I think 5 years. We've been on Twitter for about a decade, even though it feels like 80. We've been covering the DTC's involvement since 2017. Everyone said we're nuts. Everyone called out the documents we posted that we put on the screen with the official sources that they were fake. They were made up. Nine years I've been covering the DTCC. And today marks that day that all of us, this isn't about one person, all of us as a group, as a community were correct. We were all right because Ripple is in that working group. There is a reason Ripple is in that working group. If Ripple was this fly by night company, they wouldn't be in this group.

[00:02:56]And then Smoke wants to remind us of this. Ripple's acquisition of Hidden Road made it the first crypto company to own a global multi-asset prime broker.

[00:03:09]That is a big deal. So, Ripple, you're welcome. Because us, the community, allowed you to sell your XRP in the market so you could buy Hidden Road.

[00:03:19]Now, we all expect you to do some wonderful things with your newly acquired company, especially G Treasury, who has what are they doing? 13 trillion or are they connected to was it G Treasury that's connected to 13,000 banks and Ripple Prime was doing 13 trillion, but none of it hit crypto yet.

[00:03:43]Something like that. Well, long story short, we expect some of that, at least one trillion of that to hit crypto and to hit XRP. Now, let's talk about it, though. Why is this significant? Because I don't want you to take my word for it.

[00:03:58]I want you to take Claude's word for it.

[00:04:00]But let's jump into it. It said Ripple Prime joined the DTCC's. Remember this?

[00:04:05]This is pretty recent. March 2nd, they join their NSCC participation directory, gaining, clearing, and executing broker credentials that route your institutional post trade volumes on the XRP ledger. Now, when this came out, what two months ago, everyone said, "This is nothing." I don't want to say, let me take that back. Not everyone. The Bitcoin maxis, the XRP haters, they all said that means nothing. Who cares that they're on a directory? It's like being in a phone book. Everyone gets on there.

[00:04:39]Well, now it seems to me, my friends, that they were wrong, right? Who's getting the last laugh and I hope you can't see the gray in my beard because I keep leading in. I'm trying to stay back so you don't see it. Make sure you hit that like and subscribe, folks. We'll try to get to 100,000. I want my YouTube plaque. I'm just saying. This says Ripple integrated the XRP ledger into the Hidden Roads operation to support faster settlement and also introduced RLUSD as eligible collateral within that framework. There you go. Remember, if they're using the ledger, they must use XRP. It is not a gasless blockchain. So, if you have, say, JP Morgan who wants to use the XRP ledger, even if they want to use RLUSD, they must hold XRP on their balance sheets. And trust me, JP Morgan, when they're looking at XRP, they're not going to be like, "All right, guys, if we do trillions of dollars in transactions, we only need like a thousand XRP." Now, they look at it, they're like, "Okay, we need to use it.

[00:05:39]Let's do a price forecast model on it because we can hold this in a treasury if we think the price is going to increase. That creates a domino effect for every other bank that joins the platform now, doesn't it? It says the DTCC's tokenization service will enable the tokenization of real world DTC custody assets that provide the same entitlements, investor protections, and ownership rights as assets held in traditional form. This is massive. And guess what? It goes live in 2 months.

[00:06:12]And they're expect to be full scale production in October. They didn't just wake up today and come out with this.

[00:06:19]The only way they are able to go live in the next two months and full scale roll out in October within the next five months, it's because they've been testing it for years. They've been working and developing it and now they are ready because they are so confident in it and they know it works and all the bugs or at least the majority of the bugs are worked out. So they want to showcase it to the world. This has been going on probably since 2020 everyone and now it's about to hit. And then we get this and look y'all need to just stop snooping around and looking up my wallet. Okay. The second largest XRP holder is an unknown whale. December 20, 2024, they activated with 10 XRP. That whale now holds 1.8 billion, which is about 1.8% of the assets, a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens. Look, guys, girls, just please, can I just own my XRP in peace? That's all I'm saying.

[00:07:16]Just let me hold my XRP in peace. I'm not moving it. It's sitting there. It's not doing anything. You don't have to worry. I'm not going to crash the price.

[00:07:26]Just let a brother breathe, man. Come on now. And then Ando. This is where DTCC ties in again. Remember, Ripple's a partner. Remember, Ando is my second largest holding. I am upside down like no other. I'll be the first to tell you about it. I mean, I'm in about 90 cents at 30 cents. But I ain't scared. I ain't never scared. And what a smart person would do is they would actually I can't tell you what a smart person would do because I don't want to get flagged again, man. They really been coming at me. I'm just a small a small channel out there. My own business, doing my own thing, holding my XRP. But I think you know what a smart person would do. Let's listen to this clip from Andondo.

[00:08:06]>> We have we've have about hundred trillion dollars in assets, 1.4 billion QIPS within our custody. We're allowing our participants and their clients to have the ability of leveraging tokenized assets as collateral and you can move that collateral literally at the speed of the network. But think about it if you're you're from Kyoto, right? So if you're trying to finance security during Japanese training hours, we're asleep here in the US and you want to use a US security to do so. If it's in your wallet, you can move it, you can use it.

[00:08:35]And this is just the beginning, but we believe over a period of time that we will rebuild the infrastructure and the rails of the US capital markets.

[00:08:44]>> Very interesting. They said this is just the beginning. We will rebuild the infrastructure and rails of the US capital markets. That's the road map the DTCC laid out at Andondo summit which just went down in February. And what are we seeing happening right here?

[00:09:00]Connecting the dots. But we're not done because this came out. We're building the future of XRP DeFi. This is Uphold.

[00:09:07]Paul Wave. He broke down the partnership with Flare and the new features that will be coming to help you level up your XRP. We're really excited to be working very closely with leaders in the XRP DeFi ecosystem. We're close partners with Flare. We're letting people easily move between the XRP ledger, the XRP they hold on up, and the Flare network.

[00:09:33]Once their XRP has been moved to the Flare network, we're going to give users more ways to deploy that XRP, whether it's insurance protocols, borrowing, lending, and other innovative staking features that earn a yield on your XRP.

[00:09:51]>> That's going to be very interesting coming out of the Uphold, and I expect it's going to be coming out very soon.

[00:09:57]And how about Ripple with this? The strongest security posture in crypto is a shared one. A threat actor who fails a background check at one company will apply to three more the same week.

[00:10:09]Without shared intelligence, every company starts from zero. Ripple is now contributing exclusively to DPRK threat intelligence so the industry can act on threats in real time. You love to see it. You really do. And this is what we need. Honestly, we need more companies like Ripple. They want to work with everyone. They want to make the space a better space. They want to improve everything that is going on out there.

[00:10:36]We just need them to improve. But I didn't say it, folks. I didn't do it.

[00:10:39]How about this one? Author Hayes just said this. Banks will never fully go onchain. You could fire the entire back and middle office teams. Traditional finance has too much to lose. And I, you know, he makes some good points. I don't think I don't think ever ever is a very very touchy word, right? That they will fully ever go onchain. I don't think everything needs to be fully on chain. I think a majority of what banks are doing will go onchain be saved for banks using a public blockchain, right? And I I'm sure there's internally there's a fight of there's middle office and technology people who will literally lose their jobs overnight if a bank went to a fully using a public blockchain to like do settlements and all those sort of things. That doesn't mean they like Bitcoin or subscribe to any of the ethos behind it. This is July just like you could literally fire entire back and middle office compliance functions if you did everything on chain and how much money would you save and how much bigger of a bonus could you get as a front office senior manager? I think that is the tension that's going on internally.

[00:11:40]And >> by the way, is my dude wearing a bra? Is that a sports bra? I mean, look, 2026, you do what you got to do. I I'm not anyone to judge here. You know what I mean? If if that's what makes you comfortable cuz you got to hit those big old man boobs in, do you, my friend.

[00:11:54]Proud of you. You got enough money. You don't give a crap. But going back to his steaming, I don't think they will fully be on chain. I think I don't think any of the major financial institutions will ever fully be on chain. a majority of it will be on chain of what they do, but I don't think everything needs to be on chain, right? Time will tell. We're definitely not close to banks going fully on chain, but we are close to the DTCC, folks. The countdown, it has begun. 60 days, tick tock. Do me a favor, hit that like and subscribe. I'll see all y'all.
