XRP & HBAR Price Catalysts REVEALED! What's Coming Next?

In this solo YouTube commentary, the host (SPEAKER A) delivers a bullish outlook on XRP, HBAR, and other tokens, focusing on the primary price catalysts he believes will drive their upside. He highlights ETF inflows, strategic reserve legislation (Arizona), and institutional accumulation (Japanese broker Monex, Evernorth) as the number‑one catalyst for XRP and HBAR. He contextualises the market with macro themes such as the Chinese New Year zodiac, crypto‑winter narratives, and predictions about AI‑driven tax audits. The video also covers practical bear‑market survival tactics, including tax‑loss harvesting services, AI audit concerns, and community‑building tools (Discord, an XRP meme‑coin trading bot, VPN switch to WhaleSurf, and a cloud‑mining partnership). He critiques the lack of XRP support in major payment integrations (Stripe) and compares chain‑level app revenue and fee rankings from DeFi Llama, noting Solana’s dominance and XRP’s low visibility. Briefly, he mentions Quant’s role in linking legacy tech to blockchain. Throughout, he mixes promotional calls‑to‑action with market analysis, aiming to equip viewers with “money‑protection gems” and encourage deeper involvement in the XRP ecosystem.
Chapters
All right, welcome back to the channel. Today we are going to dive into the number one catalyst, in my opinion, for XRP, HBAR, Quant. Quant actually doesn't have them yet, but XRP and HBAR going up. These are my big three, right? XRP, HBAR, Quant, XLM, uh, Solana. Definitely we're going to talk about Solana, Ethereum, etc. So make sure you're watching until the end. There's going to be a lot of gems in this video. You are in— there's nowhere where you can be in better hands. Trust me on that. I've been in this market for 7+ years now, and I know how to do this. I know how to do this. I'm not an expert by any means, but we're gonna drop some gems, uh, and not even like money-making gems, but like money protection gems, um, and showing you how to really survive this bear market. And yes, I did just say bear market. I don't like to say that, but but we are in a very bearish market. I'm telling you, I'm looking you directly in the eye. This is the time that you need to pay attention. So once again, use me, use me as your accountability. I'm here in the bear market paying attention. We're growing the Discord community, we're growing our products, our services, et cetera. I'm still here when the market goes down. Okay, Bitcoin $67,000, um, XRP below $1.50. Now I can tell you for sure that there are people accumulating under $1.50. Okay, $1.50 per XRP is a great deal for a lot of people. Um, a lot of people want to stack 10,000 XRP, which is a great target in my opinion, um, and they can get that now for $10,500 basically. And you can get other totals, like you can get up to 20,000 XRP for, you know, $1.50 each. Insane. Hyperliquid staying strong. We're going to mention them in a second here, show you some very interesting things on why Hyperliquid is a gem. Uh, Solana $85. Uh, $0.16 for Stellar. It's looking pretty bleak. It's, uh, if we check the real chart here of Bitcoin On the daily, you can see we're still in that decision period. Uh, we did get up to 71, 72 there in the past week, but nothing crazy is happening yet. I'm telling you, this is where it starts to brew. Um, now obviously you can probably expect even more downside if bad things continue to happen, right? We had the Epstein drop that really took Bitcoin by storm. as well as other macro events, but $52K, dude, people are gonna be picking up Bitcoin. It's hard for this thing to fall any further because people are convinced and they want to buy. So let's get into it here. The first thing I wanted to mention is it is the happy, or it is the Chinese New Year, so happy Chinese New Year. It is the year of the fire horse. What the heck does that mean? Basically every year in the Chinese lunar calendar is a new— and the Chinese New Year, which their new year starts now, February 17th, they have a different animal attached to it with a different element attached to it. So I'm born in 2000, I am a metal dragon. Bitcoin, for example, is the year of the rat, okay? And horse, Uh, horse is the enemy year for Bitcoin. So of course we're starting the year absolutely terribly, right? As soon as it, uh, was January, we absolutely rocketed downwards. Um, so welcome to the new year. It's Bitcoin's enemy year, so keep that in mind. Um, now Saylor, Michael Saylor, is saying we are in a crypto winter, but this one is mild and shorter than previous ones and will be followed by spring. And then a glorious Bitcoin summer. I do agree with this. I do actually agree with him. It's crazy. I, I don't really agree with Michael Saylor anymore, uh, that much, but I do agree with him. This will be short-lived in my opinion. Now I'm putting this at the start of the video because I need to, and you need to listen, because Mike Novogratz says in a few years the IRS will have millions Yes, millions of AI agents auditing your taxes. Okay, think about that. AI agents will be able to audit your taxes. This means you're not at the mercy as the IRS. You're not at the mercy of an employee who needs to take a break to go see his family and sleep. These, these AI agents are a new species of human beings. I'm telling you this straight up. They are a new species that has landed on the Earth. So we don't need to worry about— we, well, we do need to worry about immigration and border control, but we need to worry more about the new species of human that just immigrated to Earth called AI agents. So they will be auditing. Now be careful because the blockchain with AI agents is really easy to read. So we're providing a new tax service to you guys, okay? This is my personal crypto tax team. Uh, both Megan and I are using these guys. Um, link is in the description. You can book either a free consultation, uh, well, where you'll get on a call, they'll explain what they do, you're in great hands. Uh, and then the paid consult, um, is there as well with the senior account manager. These guys are great. I've met with them You— I trust them. You can get on a call with them. They don't need access to your wallets, they don't need anything like that, and they will tax loss harvest for you, which means find any losses that you've had, even small ones with trades and swaps, and they will apply that against any capital gains that you do have this year. Because remember, if you swap any asset to another asset, you owe tax. if there's a gain. So they're highly rated, they're absolutely insane. They help you tax loss harvest. Everything is just done for you. It's just absolute white glove service. Now let's keep it moving. $22.22 million, um, in daily volume was closed on the XRP ETFs. This is very good. This is what we want to see. The new week is beginning here. It says Monday closed, so we'll be watching these inflows. I want to see some big inflows. I don't see how we won't see any inflows at $1.50 only, um, which, you know, and we're approaching that 0.8% of the supply being locked in the ETFs. That is the number one catalyst. Now when we talk about this Or this is what we're talking about. The number one catalyst for XRP and HBAR, because they both have ETFs, um, is strategic reserves, digital asset treasuries, um, and big institutions accumulating these assets and holding them for the long term. Speaking of this, we have Arizona's, uh, digital assets strategic reserve, uh, fund bill. Was cleared by the Senate Finance Committee in a 4-2 vote. The bill now advances to the Rules Committee, and it does explicitly state that XRP will be in the reserve fund. XRP is right here alongside DigiByte for some reason. DigiByte, what a weird coin that is. I know a lot of people love that coin. Uh, DigiByte and XRP are the ones I can see right off the bat here. Um, but you know, this is a reserve that Arizona is trying to do, okay? Um, anything that's seized, they're not buying it themselves, okay? Uh, so there might be some little loopholes with this. I think it is— people are saying that this Chad guy is lying, um, and Grok, I guess, is not even functioning. It can't explain why he's lying. But it is being seized. Digital assets that are being seized, okay, right here. Seized by, confiscated by, or surrendered to this state. The state treasurer shall deposit digital assets that are seized by the state. So okay, it's not really a strategic fund, right? This, on the other hand, is a strategic fund, uh, right here. Or a strategic play by a major company. This is, uh, one of Japan's biggest brokerages, Monex Group. They are making Solana and XRP the main strategy, the core of their strategy. Okay, um, you can see they're outlining only the Solana and XRP one, which is great. Their subsidiary 3iQ is running XRP and Solana ETFs dominating the Canadian market. Soul staking is now a recurring revenue pillar on their earnings. In April, they restructure fully into crypto. So these Japanese companies, um, and Japan as a whole, the connection with crypto is huge, right? The Korea connection is huge. Uh, this is what we are betting on as XRP holders. It is a global thing. It's not just about the USA. With Ripple and XRP. It's about global. So this is a huge, uh, huge deal right here. They're going for, uh, XRP and Solana. We also have Evernorth. Uh, if you type in Evernorth, you can see evernorth.xyz. Um, okay, is their website down or something? That's kind of weird. Um, come on, Evernorth, can't be doing that. Uh, Evernorth. Okay, it doesn't even work. Uh, they are the MicroStrategy of XRP. They have 300— they have like 400 million tokens locked. Um, they hold like millions of XRP, and this says they purchased 388 million XRP at an average price of $2.44. Why would they spend that much money at $2.44 if they didn't think it was going to explode? Same thing goes for HBAR with the ETFs. Okay, Vandell says once XRP eventually breaks its all-time high and reaches new levels, that inflection point will happen when when most investors are still looking in the wrong direction and least expect it. This is the thing. You are so early that it's hard to stay bullish. It's hard for you to stay bullish because you keep doubting, you're watching the price every day, you're stuck in an echo chamber of people saying something's gonna happen, and you continue to wake up and it doesn't happen. Dude, that is the equivalent of watching paint dry. That is going to be a very boring way to do it. You need to get more involved. You need to get more involved with it. Um, and we're showing you ways to get more involved. Get in the community. We've got founders in there. We've got business people to network with. Uh, we've got traders in there. We've got all this stuff set up, uh, so that you guys can actually get involved, because that is the equivalent of watching paint dry. It's going to take a long time. Um, But what I'm saying is if you time travel that time, there's just going to— you're just going to wake up one day and the whole hype and rage is going to be up for XRP. Your friends are going to be asking you, do you still hold it? You know, do you still hold that XRP? It's going crazy right now. Should I buy? And you're going to laugh at them like, dude, I've been telling you buy for years. Now, uh, changing gears a little bit, um, into some other coins here. Stripe has launched its integration with Crypto.com, allowing users to spend any cryptocurrency from their Crypto.com wallet. So if we see this, uh, Stripe is partnering with Crypto.com here. As you can see, Stripe has Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, MetaMask, Ledger, OKX, Trust and Crypto.com. There is nothing to do with XRP here. So Stripe, the biggest payment processing company basically in the world for online payments, like even we use it for our Gold Squad membership, right, to accept credit cards. They're not touching XRP right now. OK, there's no Xaman wallet on here. There's no XRP wallet on here. It's Solana. That is killing it. Okay, it is Ethereum, it is Bitcoin, it is still those ones. Um, and why is that? Maybe it's because the builders in the XRP community haven't really made it enough, and the people who are in the XRP community are caring about the wrong thing. Care about the technology and the building first, and then the price will come. That's what Solana did. Okay, if we go to DeFi Llama, who's the top chain for app revenue? So we're talking about apps that are built on that chain. Who's the top dog? Solana. Just in the past 24 hours alone, $3 million were made by Solana apps. $3 million in 24 hours, and this happens every single day. $3 million a day. Then you've got Ethereum. Then you've got Hyperliquid. Hyperliquid is at $1.2 million. That is what I call pro— or what they call product-market fit, in my opinion. Uh, something basically coming out of nowhere that's a little bit new and instantly rocketing to number 3. Where is XRP on this list? You can't even find it. Hedera is right there with only $2,000. XRP is way down here with $522. And, you know, maybe DeFi Llama is not tracking every app. We'll give them that, or we'll give it that. But, and then if you rank it by chain fees, you've got Tron as number 1, you've got Solana as number 2, but where is XRP? Nowhere to be found. So this is a, this is a less successful chain just competing against other cryptos. You have to admit this. I'm telling you, I'm the only one out here that's gonna say the truth. That's just— this is just statistics. You can get all pissy like a female— no offense to females— but if there's males watching this, you can get all pissy about this and be like, dude, you know, this is FUD, FUD, FUD. We're gonna be there, we're gonna be there. Get the fees up, bro. We need the builders to build real stuff, and this is retail's job. Uh, Tron does this well, Solana does this well, Polygon— they all do it because retail actually builds on their chain and does well. There might be a little bit of reputational tarnishing that has happened there. Now we've got, you know, Standard Chartered saying $2.80 for XRP. Then we've got the random dude Joey Swole saying 589. Come on, like, who is this, bro? Of course— sorry, my nose is stuffy. I was just shoveling snow out here in Alberta. Um, Joey Swole, man, nobody cares, and we shouldn't really care about what this guy's saying. Do not believe that it's going to 589 by the end of 2026. This guy is tweeting this because he knows it gets views and likes from you. So instead of allocating your likes to stupid stuff like this, allocate them to the awesome stuff that we're building. Okay, just facts, uh, just facts. Okay, uh, next thing, you know, Quant. Just a quick mention of Quant. Um, this Lady P person says, am I right in thinking that Quant can connect legacy tech to blockchain. That is what we're doing. That's what we need to do from Quant, okay? Or that's what Quant needs to do— connect legacy technology, the existing financial system, to crypto. That's also what Chainlink is doing. So just a reminder there. Okay, now this is for the OGs. Shout out to you if you made it to the, to the end. Um, let's type in XRP whale. In the comments. That's going to let me know that you made it. How deep are we? 17 minutes in. Type that in the comments. All right, let's talk about some tools, some good stuff here. I've officially switched from NordVPN. I do not use NordVPN anymore. I have switched to WhaleSurf. Okay, they are not paying me to say this. This is not a sponsor. We do have a sponsor for today's video, but this is not a sponsor. Um, we do have an affiliate code though that gets you a 30% discount. Um, so I said F NordVPN, they're trash. They've always treated us like garbage. Uh, we've, you know, told everyone to use NordVPN. I'm now telling you to use WhaleSurf. Okay, 30% off, uh, super good deal. They have a really clean phone app. It works great. Super snappy, awesome. They compare themselves to Proton, Surfshark, etc. Um, and this is built by crypto natives, actual people in crypto. So go sign up if you need a new VPN. Um, you know, super dope if you need a new VPN. Now, an update to our loyal members here: the XRP bot. Some of you might not even know that we built this. We built this product, the XRP Bot. It is a Telegram-based trading bot for XRP meme coins. So this allows you to instantly trade XRP meme coins in literally 5 seconds. Okay, literally. It is way easier than signing up for Xamman or any other wallet, trying to fiddle with Chrome extensions, logins, connecting to websites, trust lines— throw it all away because we built the best solution. Um, and when you watch the tutorial, bro, when you watch the tutorial for this, you'll be mind-blown. But I wanted to announce officially that we have moved the fees from 0.5— or sorry, from 0.9% to 0.5%. Uh, this fee allows us to actually operate this bot and make meme coin trading on the XRP Ledger really fast and smooth. Just wanted to show that. Uh, the final thing here is I'm getting into a little bit of cloud mining. I found this company, Asa Miner. Uh, they are a partner for today's video. Um, obviously cloud mining, mining in general, anything crypto related is highly risky. Uh, it could go to zero overnight. You are assuming all risk. Um, but here you can actually purchase hash rate, um, by clicking mine, and then you can use the slider right here to purchase hash rate. And they're claiming to give a daily percentage of 1.2% to 1.5%. Now obviously that can fluctuate, um, but I've got 1,000 in hash rate right here, and they are apparently paying me automatic rewards. Okay, and I have withdrawn these two right here. You can see if I go to withdrawals or if I go to notifications right here, uh, you get the daily mining rewards. Use the link in the description if you want to try this. Once again, could go to zero overnight. They are a registered, uh, business. I've seen their, uh, LLC formation. I've seen all their documents with, um, the IRS and stuff. So very interesting. Cloud mining company. They're claiming to use solar. If we go to their Twitter right here, As a Miner, uh, you can see integrating renewable energy and smart optimization. You've got people like Zach Humphreys talking about them, TravLag Crypto. Uh, so interesting Bitcoin mining company. I've got 1,000 in there just testing it out, see what happens. Okay, we do have a referral link in the description as well for that. Uh, so that is all we've got for today's video. Shout out to the ones who made it to the end. I love every single one of you. Join the Discord. We are building the number one— actually, we have built. I gotta stop saying we're building. We are continuing to build it, uh, but we have the number one crypto education, um, and just like just mastermind masterclass group. Uh, link is in the description. Other than that, I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
