In this informal market‑commentary video, the speaker argues that XRP is positioned for a strong up‑trend through 2026. He cites the unwinding of the Japanese yen carry‑trade and the impending AI‑driven need for ultra‑fast, low‑cost payments as macro catalysts that will benefit XRP’s speed‑focused network. He evaluates current price levels, suggesting $2 as a reasonable entry point with a potential move to $4, while dismissing extreme forecasts such as $589 as unrealistic. The monologue also touches on related assets – Quant’s reliance on USDT liquidity, a mysterious Binance price wick, and Ripple’s community messaging, including Brad Garlinghouse’s statements and Grayscale’s involvement. The speaker critiques influencers who push wild price targets, exposing Jake Claver’s paid‑group business model, and promotes his own $25‑per‑month alpha group and custom portfolio‑tracking app. Overall, the tone is conversational, bullish yet skeptical of hype, and the speaker positions himself as a pragmatic insider offering paid tools for XRP enthusiasts.

Dumping from JPY carry trade unwinding bullish for XRP specifically looking into 2026. I am bullish on XRP going into 2026. I definitely am. Uh, AI is going to just absolutely take over and, um, we need a currency that can really, really be as fast. So the, the whole financial system needs to speed up. It needs to speed up or it will just get left in the dust. And I just watched an Elon Musk interview and this dude is out here saying that money as a concept isn't part of the future, right? Like 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, money, money itself is not even part of the future, which is— it's like impossible to think about that. And it's like the biggest punch to the face for people who have worked a regular job for like 20 years. I can't imagine how you feel. XRP, great prices. Yeah, $2, bro. Do you really think XRP at $2 is a good— is a good price? I mean, it's a better price than a week ago, and it's a better price than a month ago. And it's technically a better price than a year ago. So what are we talking about? $2, you can get in, maybe make a 2x when we go to $4. Would you exit or would you not? But this is what we're working with. Is it over? Is crypto over? Absolutely not, folks. And if, if anyone tries to tell you that, they're crazy. Quant has been holding up Well, lately, when do we think it'll finally wake up? Dude, it's so tough to tell. This is a good— wow, what the heck happened here on Binance? We had a wick to— is this like a scam wick to $50? Like exactly $50 on here. Did anyone like— did we talk about that? When was that? Early October, that's crazy. What's up, Brett Lucas? Um, yeah, we're just hanging out, chilling. Maybe we need some, some lo-fi like back in the day in the background. Um, look at my line still. Oh, that's just a line at 100. Hopefully we just keep going, man. Where was I on October 10th? I don't know, Mike Mike. I don't know. Yeah, I believe Quant can still do good. See, the thing that Quant has running for it that no one else has basically is this is the actual supply. If you're going to sell, typically you're selling it into USDT and once it's in USDT, you're just safe. You're just— the value no longer fluctuates. You can sleep at night. You can just sleep and just do— once you're in USDT, you're good to go. Then there's, there's no really panic at all. But yeah, Quant, I just— there's nothing we can do about this, man. The supply shock just has to happen. Like, people have to realize, unfortunately, like, Quant made a bad move. They had all the hype on Twitter and then they did— this is a pretty disgusting looking chart. Like, look at that, bro. All the way down to $0.42. Like, it's just been like unbelievable, like unbelievable lows right there. Absolutely insane. Ripple USD, look at that. Wait, we've got our own CoinMarketCap Wow, look what they're doing to it. Or where is it? Hold up. Ripple USD. So it's number 64. Is this accurate by market cap? It is accurate. Wow. So Ripple USD trillions coming on December 5th. Yep, I bet there is, man. Don't believe these stupid dates that are given to you by Whoever these— dude, the people running the XRP community now are not in— they're not viable for the position because they are just selling you random dreams about, oh, December 10th according to Brad Garlinghouse. Oh, guess what? I bet, I bet we'll get to December 10th and nothing will happen. Nothing will happen. Your coin, your XRP coin, will still be sitting here doing nothing. I can guarantee it. Almost no guarantees in crypto, but I promise you— no promises either, but I'm telling you. So where is Brad talking? Okay, he's retweeting some Grayscale stuff. That's fine. Okay, we know Grayscale has had that, had that forever. XRPZ. Franklin Templeton, he's at Blockchain Week in Dubai. What else? New DeFi. This is exciting. This is actually exciting. 2032 next top. Yeah. 589, bro. Come on. Insanity. If you hear anybody saying $589, run far away. Just please run far away, man. I'm not even kidding. Just run far away. Any influencer saying $589— and I used to be that guy who thought that was possible, and I— it could happen. It's just like a lot of stuff has to happen before that, and it hasn't happened. The XRP content is so terrible these days. I agree. XRP isn't something you hold for a return right now. You're hoping for a decade from now. Yeah. Jake Claver seems like a reasonably smart guy. What's his incentive for saying such wild price predictions in the short term? What's Jake Claver's incentive? Um, a paid group that costs $150 a month. So you sell the dream on the outside and you promise secret info on the inside, and then you get people to buy it. We have a paid alpha group too. It's right to the right, but it costs $25 a month, right? And we build custom software. We have a custom portfolio tracking, um, we have a custom portfolio tracking app. Yeah, Jake Claver's incentive is to sell you his paid group. I believe he also sells like calls and stuff, mentoring calls and LLC setups. And that's the new wave. These, these XRP guys are selling you like LLC, like protection setups and all that. The incentive to continue to propagate wild price predictions is selling you something, right? It's obvious. It is just that's, that's what it is.
