XRP & HBAR Will Explode When This Happens

Mason Versluis breaks down why XRP and HBAR could surge: XRP spot ETF has pulled in $1 billion in 50 days with $24 million daily inflows, and staking yields (3.3% APR on XRP) could create real demand. He argues supply shocks won't come from exchanges, but genuine demand from DeFi incentives will drive the move.

I am 10 times more bullish than I was in 2023 and 2024 combined, and 2025, because I guess it's 2026 now, on XRP, HBAR, Quant, all of the great tokens that we always talk about. We've got a banger video lined up. We're going to talk about XRP ETFs. We're going to talk about the XRP supply shock that does not exist. I'm going to tell you the truth about what we really need. And then we're going to talk about the Quant chart. Uh, the Quant chart is pumping right now as we speak in the last 24 hours. Um, I actually called this live on the stream. Uh, make sure you're watching the streams, by the way. Turn on the notifications. Uh, make sure you subscribe. Let's roll the intro. Make sure you watch until the end of this video because there are going to be some gems dropped. Okay, drop a like, subscribe, and let's go. All right, so the structure we're gonna do is we're gonna look at the total market, and then we're gonna look at XRP, Quant, and then HBAR, and maybe some other altcoins as well if you watch until the end. $90,000 Bitcoin, $89,400. Ethereum is above $3,000, that's great. XRP is at $1.90, um, on the dot right there. And if we go to the 24-hour gainers, you have Pepe, Ondo, Polkadot. Ondo is a great project. Uh, Polkadot I've went back and forth with. Athena I've also went back and forth with. Pepe is a meme coin, so only get into that if you're into meme coins. And then we have Hedera doing very well over the past 24 hours. We have Algorand also 10% up. And then Quant looks like it's going down a little bit here, but if you look at Quant, um, we are up 7.4% all the way from that $69 that we were at right here. $67 actually. Um, let's get into the XRP stuff. This is the last time I'm going to mention the Jake Claver wrong prediction, okay? Absolutely zero hate to Jake Claver for that wrong prediction. Everyone has made wrong predictions, including me. He stood on his business and his word, major respect there. But this is why I don't make wild price predictions. I learned this lesson years ago the hard way. And we need this lesson to permeate through the XRP community, okay? This channel is the Bring Back Common Sense channel, okay? Look at the sign, read the sign, okay? I'm not gonna lie on this channel. We're gonna tell the truth on this channel. We're not gonna mislead people. Come on, man. Now let's talk ETFs because we're doing insane volume on the ETF $25 million. Uh, the market is closed right now. It's going to open in an hour and 36. Um, it's 5:54 AM, folks, while I'm making this video. Uh, so $24 million, right? And if you look at what CoinDesk is putting out, you can see the total XRP spot ETF inflow, um, has actually brought in $1 billion in just 50 days. So 1.14% of the circulating supply has been locked up, uh, with only one zero inflow day since the launch. One, one day where there's been no inflows into these ETFs. I'm going to say it again, this is one of the most important and why I'm most bullish is these ETFs. You can see this goes all the way back to November of 2025 right there. You can see, dude, that day was crazy right there. That day was crazy. But we've had only one, um, day with no inflows into the ETFs, uh, and this is measured in the millions. So dude, that day, November 14th, had almost $250 million in net inflow right there. That's actually insane. Uh, so hopefully this keeps shooting up as, as well. And think about it, all these people who inflowed into the ETF at $2.20, basically they're all down bad right now. So they're going to hold. I don't think anyone's going to liquidate. So XRP, great, uh, ETF inflow. This is pretty funny as well. Bitcoin and ETH spot ETFs, they saw net outflows, um, on December 31st, and Solana and XRP saw inflows on December 31st. So that's a couple days ago. Um, right here we need to clear up this supply shock thing, uh, for once and for all, okay? There is no supply shock, okay? The data everyone talks about is from Glassnode. Glassnode is a website, uh, that does like blockchain analytics, and they actually, uh, only measure certain exchanges. They only pull data from 11 exchanges, or 10 or 11 exchanges, and it's off by about $14 billion. Okay, so if you look at the real, real data, you will see that the supply shock narrative is pretty dumb. Now I do want to say, uh, Ripple Bull Winkle right here, he says, uh, the data shows what's on the exchange, not what's actually for sale. Am I right? Yes, you are right. This shows what's on exchanges. Okay, that doesn't mean the XRP is for sale. We can't evaluate whether those people want to sell, but the fact that they are holding it on exchanges means it's probably closer to being available than someone holding, for example, on an Arculus or like a Tangem wallet. I've got a bunch of Tangem wallets right here. Link in the description if you guys want to pick one of these up. Um, they're not paying me to say this right now, but that is a referral link. We have 20% off Arculus if you use the code GS20. Um, and then Tangem, if you use the link in the description, you get like a percentage off or whatever. Uh, those are the cold wallets that I use for XRP, uh, and other holdings as well. Um, so there's a big misunderstanding here. And on top of that, the real supply shock would happen in OTC not on the public exchange. The whole point of a supply shock is OTC liquidity drying up first and then ETF money slamming into the public order books. Remember when Dave Portnoy Market bought $1 million on Kraken and the price wicked up to $90 instantly because the order books, uh, couldn't handle it? Okay, um, so forcing the OTC to come to the counter That's a great point, but will that ever happen? No, because there's enough XRP to be sold for, uh, OTC for a long time, in my opinion. That supply is not drying up, especially when it's at this price, right? When it's at this price. So the supply shock— watch out. I'm going to tell you what we really need. Like I said at the start of this video, we really need a demand shock. We need a demand shock. So let's popularize yet another movement. We've got the Bring Back Common Sense movement, right? Then we've got the demand shock. Demand shock is what we need, um, as well as supply shock, obviously. But dude, we're sitting on a circulating supply of billions of tokens. If you look at XRP, we're at circulating supply of 60 billion, right? There's enough to go around, bro. There's 16 billion on exchanges. Okay, let's keep it moving so we can get into the HBAR stuff that's really cool, um, and the XRP stuff. JAO right here, head of engineering at Ripple, uh, dev. He says 2026 is going to be an incredible year. Privacy, programmability, interoperability via ZK rollups, ZK and DeFi on-chain lending are coming, not to mention formal spec verification and a more modular XRP Ledger implementation. These are the type of predictions we want to see on the timeline because these don't get people hurt. The amount of people I've seen who got extremely hurt from that $100 prediction is insane. I've read all of the comments. I've read all of the replies. There were people who were absolutely convinced because he was absolutely convinced. Oh, 99.999997% sure. And they bought with their life savings, lots of money. They bought right at you know, wherever, right over here, right? December 31st, like all this leading up, and they are just now sitting there disappointed that nothing happened because they listened to the wrong people. Okay, Jesus, like it's insane, bro. You can't be doing that. It's irresponsible, uh, and it's crazy. So these are the type of predictions. Moving on, um, Doppler is another XRP DeFi project. Um, I would love to partner with one of these too, like to get you guys some cool like early access or something. 3.3% XRP Vault APR. So the latest yield distribution went out on January 2nd and it has been released, and the, the week's yield was 3.3, um, APR, 3.3%. Users can check their XRP balance and view the yields they've earned. Yield distribution is calculated based on the average balance over the week. APR may vary weekly. So this is the thing with XRP staking, um, and XRP yield farming— it's always going to fluctuate in value. This goes for HBAR as well, which we'll talk about HBAR DeFi in a second. Um, and you know, these are good points. Trust nobody with your XRP. Trust nobody with your XRP. That's another thing And, you know, no hate, but dude, you gotta be in good hands here. And on some other channels, it's— I just have to be honest, you're not in good hands. Jake Claver, he does weird custody stuff. He, he tries to like— like, why would you give your XRP up to somebody else to hold? You need to be responsible for your own security and don't give your XRP up, man. What are you doing? Uh, yeah, 3.3%, nothing too crazy, but that's pretty good. So, um, the next thing is Flare, uh, the Firelight DeFi. You can see Kinetic right now, you can earn 3.19— or sorry, 3.17%. The FXRP staking right here, that's on lending staking, uh, the data is coming for the APR and upshift Uh, the data is also coming. Okay, the fee on staking is 0%. I love that on Firelight. Very cool stuff. Now let's move on to HBAR right here. I am a huge supporter of not only DeFi on XRP but DeFi on HBAR because it directly encourages people to have to buy the actual asset, hold it, not sell it. That's crucial. Not— they're not buying the asset, right? The demand isn't making them buy the asset just because they want it to go up and sell it. They actually want to buy the asset so they can use the products with the token, and they don't have to dump the token to earn on it. So they utilize it to actually earn more of the HBAR token. This does result in a dump technically, right? Because if you're making passive income in HBAR and you want to dump that to secure that passive income as income, then you have to sell it, right? But your initial HBAR balance has to stay the same for you to keep earning. Do you get it? You have to— it's like staking, right? If you stake 1 million HBAR, that 1 million HBAR has to stay there for you to keep earning. So you can dump what you earn, and that's fine. The, the most important part is that your big buy stays there. Uh, we need demand if we want to see the token value increase. This is the hardest thing, um, because we don't have that supply narrative like Bitcoin does. Bitcoin has the built-in supply narrative where it's like, dude, we're gonna run out of tokens. Do you own a full Bitcoin or do you not? We're going to run out. Like one day, you know, these will stop being mined and there's only 21 million. It's like more of the collectible vibe. XRP doesn't have that. HBAR doesn't have that. Oops, HBAR doesn't have that. Some of these big supply tokens don't have that, and so the demand needs to be higher. Quant actually does have the supply thing built in because there's only, uh, 14 million. There's only 14 million quants and it's sitting at $76. That makes no sense. It is super undervalued still, in my opinion. So DeFi is going to be the main thing I'm watching in 2026 for XRP and HBAR. And, you know, Algorand and all the XLM as well, if they expand into DeFi. But XRP and HBAR is where the hype is at and where the users are at and the passionate people. Um, ALGO actually has really passionate people and XLM, and all of the other ISO coins, um, top visited symbols. HBAR was in the— in— came 6th, okay, over stuff like Cardano, even like Jasmy Coin, Trump Coin, you know. Bitcoin was number 1, and then Ripple— XRP, not Ripple— XRP was number 2. Now let's talk about the Quant chart here. Um, I'm just going to show you right here, I'm going to play this clip um, from the stream yesterday. Uh, wait, will this play? Hold up, let me see something here. I don't know if this will actually— this will play here, uh, because we do not have the audio set up. But the point is, we drew a line yesterday, right? I pointed out right here, you can see me drawing these lines on the stream, and I put an up arrow there, right? From $69, we were going to go up. What happened? We revisit the chart, and from where we drew to the top of that, that's 13% move. Um, now obviously this is nothing, right? When you zoom out, that's not a huge move. But if you are trading on a platform like CoinW or Blofin or Coinbase or wherever, and you're doing futures trading or leverage trading, or even spot trading, a 13% move is huge. That's more, more than stocks make in a year for people, right? And that was super easy to identify with the triple support touch, and boom, 13% up. So my long has been printing. I told you guys I put in a long here. It's been printing, right? That's, that's insane gains. $76. I do expect us to continue up on there. Okay, moving on. Let's look at this. I think this is— yeah, this is for, um, for Ripple again right here. Um, Basel Committee publishes final disclosure framework for banks' crypto asset exposures and targeted amendments to its crypto asset standard. This is an old press release, and you can see both standards are to be implemented by January 1st, 2026. That is now, okay? This is now. This press release was July 2024, and they've published their final disclosure— or in this document, or on this day, they published their final disclosure framework. The committee published targeted amendments to its crypto asset standard to tighten the criteria for certain stablecoins to receive a preferential regulatory treatment. Okay, so basically tightening the criteria for certain stablecoins, RLUSD, to receive a preferential regulatory treatment. Okay, both standards are now implemented. It's January 2nd, right? They're implemented. And banks— the Basel— or this is about, uh, banks' crypto asset exposures. Okay, final disclosure framework includes a set of standardized tables and templates covering banks' crypto asset exposures. These require banks to disclose qualitative information on their crypto asset-related activities and quantitative information on the capital and liquidity requirements for their crypto asset exposures. The use of common disclosure requirements aims to enhance Blah blah blah. Okay, uh, basically this is really good because they have to disclose— they have to disclose qualitative and quantitative data. Very awesome right there. We have Swift, uh, tweeting about ISO 20022 right here. Um, and dude, the hate towards Swift is crazy. Like, I'm reading these comments and this guy's like, we're excited to announce structured address formats, formats in 2026, and meanwhile crypto has been sending money instantly cross-borders for years. Facts, okay? SWIFT is garbage compared to crypto. Uh, crypto is just instant transactions. Um, and then, you know, they're really getting mad at them, mad at people right here, or sorry, mad at SWIFT right here. Um, and if we look at the document, right, the CBPR+ roadmap beyond November 2025. So this is already like, why are we talking about November 2025? Um, that is because of the ISO 20022 migration. Migration to ISO 20022 for banks, not cryptocurrencies. Banks have to comply with ISO 20022, must be completed by November 2025. Um, and if you keep going through this, it kind of just keeps going with the roadmap and all of these different banking, financial messaging, um, all of this banking and financial messaging information, and they go all the way up to 2029 with it. Okay, 2029 with it. And if you search this for the word Ripple or XRP, right, or blockchain, or what else, HBAR, or, you know, crypto Nothing is there. So they are still focused on their stupid traditional banking. Now, moving on to the final thing I wanted to end on. This— most of the money this year will be made by people who were patient when others got bored. This is one of the purposes of my videos. The purpose is that you can turn this on, grab something to eat, put it on in the background or listen to it and really watch it if you want to pay attention and just chill. And this keeps you in the loop with your investments. This keeps you interested when others fall asleep. Do you know how badly I wish I had something like this in 2018— or sorry, 2019, 2019 and 2020? Like, between there is when I fell asleep, I call it, to crypto, where I was like, I was pissed that XRP just crashed and we didn't sell any. I was like pissed that it's at just chilling at 20 cents. Everything is down, everyone's miserable, and I kind of just went away from crypto. I didn't really think about it. If I was thinking about it, I could have picked up all those coins on the dips, on the crash, and been flying, just rich off the next bull market, right? So that's what these videos do too, is they keep you in the loop. You got to make sure you're watching every single one to stay in that loop. But, uh, so, okay, I've realized that only the OGs and only the real supporters watch until the end of the video. So we're gonna cut, uh, we're gonna comment the word We're going to comment patient HBAR or patient XRP. Actually, do, do the word patient and then your favorite, um, coin, your favorite coin, so I can see your guys's favorite coin. If you're still watching at this moment, comment that. I will give it a heart. I will try to reply to all of them. Um, but since we're talking to the real supporters here, we have relaunched the channel memberships, um, for 99 cents. Okay, this is in Canadian, so it's $1.49. Basically, this is just for when we go live. If you wanna support, you get the loyalty badge showing that you are like a member inside of the YouTube community. You also get these custom emojis, priority reply to your comments. So if you comment a question or comment something on the videos, you get priority reply. And you get member shoutouts. It's just 99 cents for the real supporters if you want to stand out in the livestream chat. And then we also did launch Discord access only. So if you don't want like all the custom software and other groups and like all the cool stuff in the main membership, you can just get into the Discord here for only $10. Okay, and then the full membership with all the software— best $25 you could spend in crypto— is $25 right there. That is all we've got for today. Thank you for watching. Drop a like, comment, subscribe, etc. I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
