XRP And Blackrock Officially Confirmed

It has been confirmed by the actual Ripple account that BlackRock is able to use Ripple's stablecoin. We're going to talk about this and what this means for XRP, what this means for Ripple. We're also going to cover all of the crazy XRP developments. Uh, we're going to talk HBAR, we are going to talk Algorand, Stellar, all of the beautiful utility tokens that we've loved over the years. We're going to talk about them all. Drop a like. I've got the diamond hand on today because this is a very bullish video. Make sure you're watching until the end. Hit the subscribe and actually click the bell. Turn on the notifications. I'm going to be dropping a lot of videos. Make sure you're tuned in for 2026. Let's roll the intro and get into this. So first thing we're going to do is go over the market and what the market's been doing. Then we're gonna get into the XRP stuff. We're going to talk triple-digit XRP. We're going to talk about the Ripple stablecoin, um, the signature winter pump. Is it coming? That January pump, is it coming? That could be insane. And then a couple like wish list items that we hope to see in 2026 for XRP. Then we'll get into HBAR, XLM, and all of the other beautiful tokens. Okay. $88,000 Bitcoin. Let me make sure my currency— yep, we're on US dollars. Sometimes I'm on Canadian. You guys know I am Canadian. Bitcoin is at $88,000. Ethereum almost $3,000. Um, XRP $187. If we go down, we still don't see Hedera in the top 20 or the top 10. That needs to happen, and I believe that can happen. Um, you keep going, Pi Network— like, some of these tokens don't even deserve to be here, bro. Midnight, we're gonna talk about David Schwartz mentioning Midnight, um, in a second here because dude, David doesn't really give the co-sign to a lot of projects, but he's given it. Um, Canton still being the top gainer today, very interesting. A lot of you guys told me about Canton in the comments. Um, let me know if you guys want to— want me to check out any, any specific altcoins, uh, and I will. All right, look at this. Okay. Triple-digit XRP by the end of 2025 is the most stupid thing that I've ever heard in my entire life. We have like 48 hours left in the year and I'm seeing people say that we're still going to reach triple-digit XRP by the end of the year. Dude, who are you guys listening to? Like the people saying this on Twitter, like, who are you listening to that's spewing this dumb low IQ stuff. Like, get with the program, bro. Even if I heard this at the start of 2025, I would have said the same thing. Everyone who said that at the start of 2025 will be wrong again. And if they say it again, they'll be wrong again. All the moon dates are wrong. Let's focus on $10 first. Okay? Absolutely insane for people to say that. Now let's actually talk about something that could really happen, which is the first couple weeks of January. And January as a whole being really good for XRP. Ripple usually likes to start an XRP— they like to start off the year with a bang. Um, and you can see this if you go on to CoinGecko right here and we go to XRP, right? So we go to XRP and we look at the 2018 pump was in January. Um, and you know, kind of we were doing— yeah, we pumped in 2025 January too. So there's been two major Januarys that have been insane, but there's also been Januarys that have been trash where we're kind of dumping into January, right? But these are two huge data points. This is like big stuff that you need to watch out for because they love to start the year with a bang. Um, and are we going to get that signature winter pump? XRP does well usually, um, in the winter, right? And you can say whatever you want about the chart, you can do whatever stupid like drawings and lines and blah blah blah on the chart, but what it comes down to is your strategy. Are you holding? Uh, are you in at a good entry? Do you still believe in the asset? Are you watching the right people in the space, right, that are not yapping about stupidity and actually keeping you grounded um, with common sense. Bring back common sense. If you're watching, uh, this far into the video, drop that in the comments. I'll try to give you a heart on your comment. Um, bring back common sense. Now, a little follow-up to the no XRP supply shock thing. My tweet went ham right here. 50,000 views, a lot of likes on this one. A lot of people agreed with this. There is no XRP supply shock. Right. And we've got King Solomon, one of the best HBAR XRP guys. He says, be careful spreading common sense narratives. You'll get attacked. This is what we stand for. Hold on, hold on, folks. Hold on. I actually— where is it? Right here. I actually have a sign. Right. And this might be backwards, but this is, this is a sign. It actually says, bring back common sense. Can I fit this somewhere right here? I might have to just wear this thing. Bring back common sense, right? You can have diamond hands, but also bring back common sense, okay? And that's what I'm doing for the XRP community. Let's keep it rolling here. Um, 2025 was great for XRP. Insane developments. Probably the best year ever. Not in terms of price action for XRP, even though it was pretty good. We, you know, it was really good. We hit— basically hit all-time high again. Which no one thought was possible. But whoever controls the market, they said, yo, stop saying this, we can go that high again, we can go to $3.50, like we can do it again, don't even trip. That's what this is saying, because a lot of people thought that this was, you know, doomed, like, and then we just rocketed. It's amazing, it's amazing. So Vet, shout out to Vet, I'm super hyped. He gave me the follow back on Twitter. Make sure you guys are following me on Twitter right here, @MasonVersluis. You'll get all of of the banger information way faster, uh, because I tweet all the time. I can just fire them off versus having to sit down for a YouTube video. Um, XRP Ledger 2025, we had smart contracts, so much development around smart contracts. Um, XRP DeFi was insane. We had that big meme coin, um, explosion, right? Uh, interoperability-wise, we have Wormhole, Axelar, um, bridged yield-bearing issued assets to the XRP Ledger. Super crazy stuff. We have, um, the existing, uh, projects and wallets on the XRP Ledger doubled down a lot. They're more polished, new features. Um, no new app that took over the community though. That is true, right? There was no new killer XRP app. Um, maybe I'll just have to make that. Who knows? Tokenization was strong with the RippleUSD, um, distribution channels. Of the tokenized funds and assets is something we have to work on. This is the correct way to be as an XRP holder. You need to be involved with the community building things. And then Panos right here gives his top 3 wishes. So he wants to see batched transactions and sponsored fees/reserves live as soon as possible, crucial for removing friction and mass consumer onboarding. Um, this guy is building, um, Anodos Finance, right, which is pretty sick. Um, Anodos Finance is a, is a dope XRP project that you guys need to watch. Um, yeah, so he is— he cares about the mass consumer onboarding, which we do need. More quality assets, especially RWAs, yield-bearing stablecoins, tokenized stocks, commodities coming to the XRP Ledger. A serious incentive and grant program finally happening. This is also definitely what we need. Grants. Because dude, Ripple is so rich. These foundations are so rich. The whales are so rich. Give some of that money to some really hardworking people and let's build the next killer app on XRP. Bro, give me a grant. I've never taken a dime from Ripple. I've never been paid by any HBAR. Algorand did pay us once to promote their Decipher event, and we, you know, did the sponsored post and that was it. And that was for their Dubai conference when me and Megan went to Dubai. That was pretty fun. But yeah, serious grant program for XRP would be amazing. That's something that HBAR is really good at. We're about to cross $8 million in XRP ETF volume. 1.5 hours into the trading day. So if we look at this, um, we're having a huge day today. Huge day. 32 million. Last close was December 29th. That's a huge day. You guys know, like, I might make this a regular thing checking this because this is one of the biggest bullish catalysts. Moving on, we have Gemini continuing to toy with the XRP community and push the $5.89 propaganda. 589 right here. They lined it up with the numbers. Pretty funny. Um, but they just do this for engagement, right? Because they know, and to promote the XRP card. Um, absolutely hilarious. If you want this XRP card, by the way, you can sign up for Gemini. We do have a, a referral link for Gemini because they do have the XRP credit card where you can earn up to 4% XRP back. Gemini does not pay us to talk about that card. I wish they would. That'd be sick. Um, but that is a referral link. Anyone can get a referral link from Gemini. Now let's move into the Ripple stablecoin stuff right here. First of all, I believe that the Ripple stablecoin is going to $589 per coin. I'm calling it now. Uh, it will happen in the next 48 hours by the end of 2025. Ripple stablecoin will go to $589. I'm joking, folks. I'm joking. It's a stablecoin. It's $1. It will be $1 forever. But I thought I would just joke. Look at this. It cannot— dude, people can't even take a joke in the XRP community. But more important, let's talk about this BlackRock connection. So they put out the official Ripple account, top 5 USD stablecoin in its first year. The first year that this thing existed. It's top 5 already. They launched their USD-backed stablecoin, taking on a $300 billion market. That's number 1. Number 2, BNY Global was selected to custody RLUSD reserves, further strengthening institutional trust. If we look at BNY Global, you can see they're absolutely insane. They oversee over $57 trillion freaking dollars. Um, that's BNY. That's who we're dealing with. So they were selected to custody the Ripple USD reserves. So we're further strengthening the institutional trust. Um, and then RLUSD, here it is, is a 24/7 off-ramp for BlackRock and VanEck tokenized funds. Number 3 right there. As you can see, I mean, that BlackRock is able to use a Ripple service. That is what we want to see. That's been like rumored before and a lot of like conflicted information. But this is very clear from the official Ripple account. They're able to use it as a 24/7 off-ramp, which means getting their money out and they can, they can off-ramp it to RlUSD, right? So they can keep it stable. They have secured key recognition in international hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Amazing, right? We want to see that expansion. And in November 2025, they crossed $1 billion in market cap. And then the OCC conditionally approved the National Trust Bank charter. That was huge. Um, I did make a short form video about that. Now, one last thing on XRP, then we'll get into HBAR, Algorand, and some other altcoins. Um, Vet is pointing out this new JP Morgan's payments— uh, JP Morgan Payments partnership They just partnered with Ripple's gTreasury. Now this is from official, official stuff, right? Like official sources here. Um, you can see this guy's the managing director, uh, head of North America cross-currency something right there. Uh, we are proud to partner with gTreasury to deliver an innovative netting solution for Franklin Electric. Oh yes, so there, there he is. He's the head of JP Morgan for the North America cross-currency solutions. So G-Treasury has been implemented. And so what, what does this do? G-Treasury has a netting solution. What is a netting solution? It allows for many obligations to be settled with only the net amount. So for example, I owe you $50. But you owe me $30. Instead of me sending you $50 and you sending me $30, which is 2 transactions, I can just send you the net $20 that I owe you. Okay, so this is like a function of gTREASURY. It's their netting solution. All right, let's move on. Uh, let's actually start with this. Um, Tokenicer, great account, love him. Uh, in 2025, 3 developments stand out. Okay, he's talking about the energy sector quietly becoming one of the most promising real-world verticals for enterprise DLT. And I'm telling you, do not sleep on the energy sector. One of the tokens I like actually, um, is EWT. This is kind of like a sleeper, right? We talked about— we've talked about this for years. Chart is looking very good to buy in uh, like as an entry in my opinion. Um, it is kind of doing well on the month, but it's got a long way to go. That's in the energy sector. 3 main developments right here: HBAR added Repsol and B4E to its council. ALGO partnered with Enel to tokenize solar assets. XLM is working with Turbo Energy for renewable financing. All 3 of these I do hold all 3 of these. So we're doing carbon tracing and digital ID. You know, HBAR loves to be involved with the World Economic Forum and the digital ID and the carbon agenda and all of that stuff. They love it, HBAR. Okay, all of these utility tokens, um, are— they love all that stuff, right? Tokenized solar energy. Algorand, literally the CEO was taking pictures with Hillary Clinton XLM is super connected. Jed McCaleb, super connected. They're doing energy financing on-chain, and Algorand's doing the tokenized solar energy. Okay, boom. Bullish on all three of those. Bullish on all three of those. I don't— I'd like— you guys gotta get over the whole chart thing, bro. Just stack your bags and wait. Like, come on, bro. That's what I've been doing for years. Just stack your bags and wait. Once again, another insane accumulation spot for Algorand. Like, literally look at these charts. We're tapping in at the perfect times here. Um, but if you get in at 11 cents, like I always say, be prepared to go down further, um, before going up and before going crazy, right? Algorand is a very tough chart to look at, um, on the max. And then we go to Stellar and look at how different the max looks on Stellar. Uh, and then we go to HBAR and we see a similar max chart, which just means max chart just means like all the data, um, that is on CoinGecko at least. So HBAR has a similar chart to XLM, um, but dang, is Algorand a crazy chart to look at. Um, let's go to the David Schwartz news. Okay, Cardano, this Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson He is building this new Midnight project. It's a privacy project. I'm bullish on it. I hold it in my portfolio. Um, he said that Midnight and the XRP Ledger are already operating and performing at 100x the scale. Then this guy comes in and says, I just want David Schwartz to acknowledge Midnight before anything. So this is like an XRP dude, and he like he won't even get involved with Midnight unless David Schwartz gives it the co-sign. And for some reason, David saw this on his Twitter and he says, I hereby acknowledge Midnight. Okay, so this— like, the Cardano and XRP community are like, dude, they're merging, which is what we need. We need some of those holders to come over and those builders to come over. So he acknowledged Midnight. That's a good sign for me. That makes me want to buy more. Okay, if we look at the Midnight chart, um, I love the ticker, it's just NIGHT. You can see it's pretty much an up-only chart right here. Like, on the month, we've done extremely well. I will tell you, we called this token, um, in the Discord, right? We made the Discord members-only. Link is in the description, um, for, for our are paying members in there. They got in on this pretty early because I recognize Charles is going ham on this. Okay, next up, we are still holding XLM. I am still holding XLM. Um, they did a little nice 2025 partner lineup. They've got PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, Circle, MoneyGram, Franklin Templeton, LayerZero, Boundless, Near, right? They just wanted to flex, you know, flex for a second, um, because they still are— they still can flex. They're still doing crazy things. Okay, and to end this off, um, just want to end with that beautiful art piece right there. That's on some Age of Aquarius vibes, pouring out the bucket of abundance onto the lotus flowers with the sun-moon looking guy. You've got the the, um, what is that, the Saturn, uh, symbol in the top right. Amazing. But I wanted to show this visual because 2025 is coming to an end. I want to say a major thank you to anyone who has supported. Actually, that's going to be our word: Aquarius. No, Age of Aquarius. Drop that in the comments if you made it this far. Either drop abundance or Age of Aquarius. And I'll try to give your comment a like. Um, yes, so everyone who supported the endeavors, 2025 was great. It's kind of a tough year, a lot of crazy stuff happened for, for me and my family, but we arrived, and I'm excited for 2026. So that is all we've got. Shout out to all of you, thank you for watching until the end. Drop a like, comment, subscribe. Love every single one of you, and goodbye.
