What are my price targets for XRP, HBAR, Quant, XLM, and more? Amazon and Ripple, what is going on with that? We're going to expose that today because a lot of people are yapping falsely about this. So we're going to get into that. We've got the Fed injecting capital as we speak. Uh, we've got Flare going ham with the XRP DeFi stuff. We're going to talk Clarity Act, we're going to talk DTCC getting SEC approval, whole lot of acronyms. We're going to look at some charts. It's going to be a banger video. This is probably one of the most important market updates I'm gonna do, um, this week for sure. So let's get straight into it after the beautiful intro. Oh, let's start with the market here. We are at $3.18 trillion. Um, it is kind of a red day. If we sort by biggest gainers, you see World Liberty Financial. My thoughts on that: Trump is trying to enrich his family. He's trying to get his foot in the door with crypto, and that is, you know, that's that. You know, if you were in an investor, good luck to you. Um, I didn't really get into that, okay? I'm more focused on XRP, HBAR. Ethereum, Solana, altcoins, everything but Bitcoin mainly, um, is what I'm in. Okay, so XRP $2.13, we have Chainlink $13, SUI $1.82, um, Hedera still at 12 cents. Nothing really stand out here. Let's get into this stuff right away. So we had Coin Bureau say AWS, um, which is Amazon Web Services, and Ripple are working on an XRP Ledger upgrade. Now this is extremely clickbait, okay, um, because he doesn't even give you the real stuff. Me, on the other hand, I will do some clickbait, but then I'm gonna feed you the best steak you've ever had, right? They clickbait and they feed you Hot Cheetos, Red 40, right? I feed you AAA wagyu. So he is saying Amazon Web Services and Ripple are reportedly exploring Amazon Bedrock AI for the XRP Ledger. With this integration, XRP Ledger system logs could be analyzed in 2 to 3 minutes, down from days. Now we have another guy showing that— oh my goodness, the AWS partner profile, Ripple and Amazon, it's real! Oh my goodness, we're gonna take over the world. Complete utter non-research. Okay. And we see Vet. Vet is always spreading the truth, man. Shout out to Vet. He says you should add that AWS Ripple is nothing new. They have a ton of companies using their service. Okay. Every crypto uses AWS. All of them. Basically all of them. Right. Everybody uses AWS. This isn't an exclusive partnership between Amazon and XRP. Or Amazon and Ripple. This has nothing to do with that. Anyone can use AWS if you have a crypto company, okay? And he says, look at this guy, like, come on, Crypto Sensei, really, really, bro? This is a big deal if true. Dude, if you know anything about AWS, um, you can— anyone can use this, right? And right here he says again, it goes back to Ripple using AWS for their infrastructure. Some people even wish they wouldn't use AWS. Perhaps this allows them to embed some AI functionality into their products. This is something that any AWS customer can use. This is not special, okay? This is not special. So be careful, right? Because we're getting— some people are misleading right there. Um, the AI is a good functionality, but everyone using AWS products will be able to do that most likely. Flare brings XRP spot trading. To HyperLiquid. You guys know I got you guys in, in my Telegram— link in the description for the free Telegram group— I got you guys into HyperLiquid extremely early. I am super bullish on HyperLiquid. The best way to describe HyperLiquid is Binance but on-chain. So fully on-chain Binance, um, with no KYC. You can just— it's decentralized, right? Fully decentralized. Um, I got us in— where did I get us in again? Maybe $10 or something like that on HyperLiquid, and we did go to $50. That's all documented in my Telegram group. Now though, we have Flare actually bringing, um, XRP spot trading to HyperLiquid. Okay, so they now have a listing, so we get better price discovery, institutional-grade execution. Unlocking real on-chain demand while keeping settlement anchored to the XRP Ledger. Very good. This is powered by F-assets, of course, and the Layer 0, uh, core OFT standard. Okay, um, and very cool, we can actually click into Hyperliquid and we now officially have FXRP on here. Now hopefully they do some volume, right? Um, we have Phase 2, uh, April 2026 is when Phase 2 rolls out for XRPFi. Keep your eyes on Firelight. I will obviously be covering this. Um, yeah, Phase 2 for Firelight. Ripple has no plans for an initial public offering, President Monica Long told Bloomberg, saying the firm can fund growth through acquisitions without going public. Absolutely, they can fund growth through acquisitions. They can also just fund growth by dumping XRP on our heads, okay, which is what they do. Which, as an XRP holder, you have to be okay with that. You have to believe in Ripple as a company because they are the number one investor in XRP. There's a clear difference. XRP is a decentralized cryptocurrency. Ripple, the centralized company, who has marketing teams, accountants, everything, centralized company. They are the number one investor into XRP. Okay, that's the relationship. When you buy XRP, you do not own equity in Ripple. You do not own any of the success that Ripple has. You are just buying a decentralized cryptocurrency token in which you hope the value goes up. No one is promising the value to go up. Therefore, it's not a freaking security, bro. And we proved that in court when we fought the SEC. This is insane though. And I guess right here I will address the LinkTo situation. We partnered with LinkTo back in the day, as did a lot of XRP people, and they basically scammed everyone. They are a horrible company. Um, they took a lot of people's money and they haven't done anything with it. Okay, and now Ripple says they have no plans for an IPO, so that you can shift that catalyst way down the years, maybe 2027. Okay, they have no plans right now though. So we have the DTCC, okay, they have just got approval from the SEC for a new ACS tri-party service on BNY platform. Okay, BNY platform. And if we click into this, obviously this is coming from the real DTCC website. Um, the volumes hit records, $13 trillion. You can see they've put it in their press release here. The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation, the premier post-trade market infrastructure for the global financial services industry, today got approval from the SEC. So this lets big banks submit short-term loan deals dealing with U.S. Treasury bonds, um, and it's going to be now cleared by the DTCC. It's part of the preparation for the industry in December 2026 for cash and 2027, June, June 2027 for repo transactions. So tons of different, um, financial-related updates. I'm telling you, the financial system is being updated and there's proof everywhere. Okay, let's look at some charts, or let's look at XRP chart first. We are back down to $2.1, or almost— yeah, we did go to $2. We bounced off $2. Um, you know, my support level got— my, my support level got cooked here. Um, geez, right? We have to we have to keep the $2 now. So I'm going to put a line right here, um, at $2, and we will monitor that. Hopefully we can just bounce off of $2 and stay above $2. Um, QNT, you have a retracement on QNT. Of course, probably going to bounce off $74, in my opinion. Um, HBAR, you also have that retracement. So we kind of got a swipe through the whole market. There's a leverage reset. Binance-led liquidations hit both sides. Okay, data from liquidation trackers show that between 5th and 7th of January, there was repeated forced unwinds across major exchanges. Okay, Binance consistently accounts for the largest share of liquidations. So we had both sides getting liquidated. So it's a leverage reset. This is, in my opinion, where we want to be, um, is a leverage reset. Now CoinW, they are putting on the Venezuela event, the CoinW ARC program. CoinW is our main, um, exchange partner. This is where I trade XRP. You guys can trade if it's available in your location, and What you can do with this is you can buy Bitcoin at 50% of the cost. Yes, seriously, 50%. The real Bitcoin, half the cost. CoinW covers the rest. So they're giving out those, um, 50% purchase vouchers. Very crazy. So literally 50% off Bitcoin lottery, um, and then you can get up to 1,300 USDT in futures super bonus. Okay, that's free money to trade with. Sign up with the link in the description. I will put the link at the top of the description because there's only 15 days to get in on this event. Okay, CoinW ARC program. You guys might know, or maybe you don't, we have our Telegram trading group with CoinW. We have expert traders, experienced traders. We have a good group of community members. It's completely free. Um, you can sign up with the link in the description. You do need a CoinW account because that's what we use to trade. Okay, that is our free trading group on Telegram. Super awesome. Shout out CoinW for this. Um, I thought I'd let you know because there's only 15 days for this event, so get in now in the description. Let's talk about the Fed. Okay, look at this. It's heading skyward. I love that. Federal Reserve total assets are finally going up in a big way. You can see right here, this is ending of 2025, and we are actually pumping up, Mark says, um, $8 billion into the system today with a scheduled $40 to $80 billion to follow. The last time that the Fed's balance sheet doubled Mid to small cap altcoins exploded up to 1,000x. Quantitative easing, uh, not quantitative easing has arrived. Millionaires will be made overnight. So he's being very bullish right there. Um, I love that. And this is a big upturn, right? Like 2025, it was just basically down only from $6 trillion, $6.85 trillion, all the way down. And now we're heading back up, right? Billions are actually coming into the system. Now, uh, staying on the topic of like the big dogs, Morgan Stanley is launching a digital wallet later this year to support tokenized assets. Everything will be tokenized. We know this. What— tell me why the banks are stepping in right now, um, if they don't believe this too. They just don't— they don't just do things for no reason. They're launching the digital wallet. We've got G-Treasury acquiring a company. So they acquired Solvexia for reconciliation and regulatory reporting. This is end-to-end reconciliation automation across payment gateways, banking systems, ERPs, and internal records, spanning both fiat and digital asset transactions to identify fraudulent fund flows, detect revenue leakage, and verify intercompany settlements. So a powerhouse, um, of a company right there. And the funniest thing is this is Ripple, right? Ripple acquired Solvexia, okay, through G-Treasury because Ripple owns G-Treasury. So a little layered part, layered step going on there. Um, this is bullish though, right? G-Treasury acquired Solvexia. Okay, now I wanted to point out, speaking of big dogs as well, you guys need to keep your eye— if you're not aware of Evernorth, you need to keep your eye on Evernorth. This is the world's largest, um, XRP treasury. The world's largest XRP treasury. They've bought 473 million XRP. Okay, so watch what this company does. Brad and David are both advisors to it. And you have Ashish, uh, who we've talked about a lot on this channel over the years. 25 years of experience, board roles at Ripple, MoneyGram, Bitso. He's a beast. He's the CEO of Evernorth. So keep your eyes on Evernorth, largest public XRP treasury company. Digital asset treasuries are going to pick up like crazy, right? Digital asset treasuries, you want to be monitoring these because these are the big players. And if we actually look at the XRP Insights website, um, you will see the volume today is another $20 million, and we have 2 hours, uh, left. So another $20 million, it's hundreds of millions a week, um, Canary still leading. 21Shares, who is one of the holders of XRP, they are tweeting bullish. We had the CNBC clip, um, saying XRP is the hottest crypto trade of this year, the new cryptocurrency darling. Huge claims from CNBC. Obviously, take CNBC with a grain of salt. They are a news network. They have people that make thumbnails about death and terror, and they try to get clicks, and they try to get you to listen. They have accountants, right? I'm just trying to perspectivize, make— put into perspective who the news is. Like, who is the news? Why do we care what CNBC is saying, right? And some of you guys only— or not some of you guys, you guys are awesome— but some of the mainstream people only care about XRP when a news station says it like this. That's your job, to be in when no one's caring. So they literally said it's not Bitcoin, it's not Ether, it's XRP. Um, and 21Shares is saying probably nothing there. Now moving on to the Clarity Act. The Clarity Act is coming. It's going to end crypto's US regulatory gray zone, enabling banks to custody and trade assets like XRP without litigation fears. We already have the non-security status confirmed, but the banks might still be scared to trade that asset and use it. So when the Clarity Act comes, that's going to help XRP, it's going to help HBAR for sure, XLM, all of those. Let's talk price targets now, and then we will get into some more, uh, or a couple more Ripple things, and then some general crypto stuff. $5 should be your target for XRP, okay? $5 would look so nice on the charts, so nice, and it would shut up all of the haters, okay? $1 should be the target for HBAR, $1 for XLM, uh, also probably $1 for Algorand, right? There's a lot of those tokens that need to get to a dollar. That's, that's the level, right? Algorand has been to a dollar, of course, but from 13 cents to a dollar would make a lot of you guys a lot of money, which is what we want to happen. Um, I don't control the markets, I just monitor the news and the fundamentals and the charts. Okay, HBAR as well, $1 would reach territory we've never been to. Surprisingly, XLM, we also would reach um, territory with a dollar that we've never been to. Sadly, XLM is the saddest story of the ISO coins in my opinion because they've never reached a dollar. You also have XDC, which would be a little bit more crazy to reach a dollar. But remember guys, what I said about the Fed, right? The Fed is now injecting billions. They are now buying assets. Last time they did this and doubled their balance sheet, we went up 1,000x basically, right? So XDC is more of a moonshot. I hold a lot of XDC. I love it because it is that moonshot. It is that moonshot, right? Even from here, 4 cents to all-time high, you're getting a like 3, 4, 5x in there, right? Right? Um, but I believe XDC can go a lot higher. Okay, these price targets, by the way, do not come with time frames. They just come with confidence and passion on where stuff will or could go. Okay, it is could. If anyone is saying will, right, um, you need to probably run away unless they're saying something general like it will explode, because I believe Quant, XLM, HBAR, all of these, Bitcoin, Ethereum crypto will explode, and it could explode, okay? It's not about when. You need to get rid of when. We're in this for the long run. Um, simple close range or close range targets, and then we focus on the bigger numbers. If anyone is focused on those bigger numbers, man, it's fun to talk about, but in the short term, these should be the goals. These should be the goals, okay? 2 last Ripple things. This is a tweet from May 6th, 2013, and look at what they quoted: just like that, Ripple's market cap now exceeds that of Bitcoin. That moment is when we know we've made it. Um, and I tried to click this link. This link is dead because it's, it's like years old, right? Over 10, over 10 years old. So that link doesn't work. I would have loved to see what that is. Maybe I can use the internet time machine thing, website archive.org or whatever, to see. Um, but just like that, they have exceeded that of Bitcoin. Okay, that once happened. It did happen on May 6th, 2013. That is when— that is when Bitcoin was very small still. So can it happen again? Probably yes. Okay, uh, last two things here. Why you need to pay attention to crypto. This is from my wife Megan right here. Go follow her as well, Meg BZK, @MegBZK. If you've made it into this, this far in the video, you should also support my family, right? Shout out Meg BZK. She said why you need to pay attention to crypto is because the next generation is the next leaders of the world. Facts. They don't care about cash. None of them carry cash around. They use Venmo and Cash App, and they're already so used to digital currency. She says, I see my 12-year-old son Jet's eyes light up when he looks at his digital asset wallet. Crypto is the future. That is one of the best reasons to be bullish on crypto is because the next generation, they care more about crypto than they do, than they do fiat currency. And they're going to be the new leaders of the world. Yes, scary, isn't it? I know we have a lot of older demographic on this channel, so yeah, isn't that scary that those people you see on TikTok and stuff are the new— are gonna have to be the new world leaders, right? Final thing here: age of abundance is upon us. Age of abundance is upon us. If you're not watching the live streams, I need you to turn on the post notifications, bro. Because when I go to sit down and make these videos, I feel worried that I can't cover as much as I did on the live streams. The live streams, they light me on fire. They light me on fire. There's a lot of good discussion. It's probably the best discussion. It's better than any video. So turn on those notifications so you know when we go live, right? So nobody can convince me otherwise. A lot of the news is going to try and convince you that AI is AI is not bringing an age of abundance. AI is killing things. Don't believe it. It's a choice. You are choosing to go into the age of abundance, or you're choosing to continue in the age of complaining about random stuff on the internet. Choose one. Okay, AI is going to enable any product or service you could ever dream of. It's going to be available to you in seconds. Due to AI and robotics. Um, and of course, the third world countries that are still living in bad conditions will continue to live in bad conditions, but there are people that are motivated and ambitious and will slowly solve that as well. Okay, now this is a whole different topic, AI, right? But it's connected to crypto. It is connected to crypto. You have to pay attention The number one thing you should not try and do is die, because the age of abundance that we're going to get into in the next 10 years is heaven on earth for those that make it heaven on earth. Trust me, you can choose to make it hell on earth. If you subscribe to this channel, you will continue to see someone who is making it heaven on earth. Okay. And that's not, you know, it's not a religious thing. It's just a metaphor, heaven on earth, like a great experience on earth. Okay, we're not trying to do blasphemy or anything. That is all we've got for today's video. Thank you for watching. If you made it until the end, I need that comment. You're going to type "Age of Abundance," and I'm going to give your comment a heart. Thank you for watching. Drop a like, subscribe. All the important links are in the description.
