XRP HOLDERS WIN BIG! Here's The Reason

Ripple holds massive XRP in escrow, giving it a financial incentive to drive the token's price higher. Brad Garlinghouse called XRP the "North Star" of Ripple's ecosystem. The speaker argues this institutional backing makes XRP different from typical crypto projects.

I have the simplest, most logical reason why XRP will succeed and will go up in price, because that is what we care about. I don't necessarily care that Ripple gets new partnerships and Ripple gets acquisitions and Ripple is successful. As an XRP holder, I care about the XRP token price going up. Okay, that's what we care about. Most of us, we know the mission is to make payments great again, make payments amazing across the world. Money should flow as fast as an email, as fast as information flows. We know the grand mission, and that's a great mission, but at the end of the day, a lot of us have been holding for years and we need to see that token price go up. And I just want to prove all of the haters wrong, especially some of the Bitcoin people wrong. So we're going to dive into my simple logical reason. Make sure you're watching until the end. I'm going to drop the secret word deeper into the video, and if you comment that secret word, I will definitely give your comment a heart. Drop a like on the video. Let's get into it. Let's start with just an XRP update on the actual price here, uh, because we are not looking good. Okay, 1.38% in the last 7 days, we're down 10%. In the last month, we're down 33.3, 333%. Um, 3 months, we're down 41%. Um, and on the year, we're down 43%. However, that is just January, or actually no, that is factoring in Uh, just basically 365 days from, uh, before. So in all in all, from the ground, we're up 23,000%, and we did have the V-shaped recovery here, but we didn't recover all of the gains. We need to recover all of the gains. So $1.38, super good entry in my opinion. Um, if you've never been able to enter below $2 there you go. It's giving you another opportunity if you so wish to get into XRP. But it is XRP Community Day, so my logical reason is based on new information that just came out. Well, not new information, but new Brad Garlinghouse, uh, the new Brad Garlinghouse speech right here. Okay, so we're gonna play this out loud. But essentially, he is reinstating that XRP is the North Star for Ripple. We're going to get into what that means, um, and decode his clip right here. So let's click onto this. This is from the XRP Community Day. Uh, let's play this right here.
I, I want every single person in the XRP family, the XRP Army, to know that XRP is the North Star for Ripple. It's our purpose. Uh, when we think about what we're doing on Ripple Payments or Ripple Prime or Ripple Treasury or custody or RUSD, this is all focused on how we can drive utility, trust, and velocity or liquidity around XRP and the XRP Ledger. So, you know, things like Ripple Payments, payments on the DEX with permissioned domains, uh, Ripple Prime using XRP for collateral and lending, Ripple Treasury we kind of talked about, you can enable payments around XRP and RLSD within treasury management. Uh, these are all examples of where we are going to continue to make sure as we think about Ripple as a platform company for financial infrastructure XRP is at the heartbeat of that.
You'll hear the heartbeat of it, the North Star. Let's keep going.
More about this, you know, some of those specifics from Monica Long, our president at Ripple, later today. Uh, and you know, this morning you may have seen we announced Aviva Investors, one of the largest asset management firms in the world, tokenizing on the XRP Ledger. So we're going to continue to focus on that institutional opportunity. You know, Ripple has decided to partner when it comes to, you know, partner or invest or, you know, support companies going after the consumer opportunity. Uh, hopefully it gives a sense of kind of where we are with that. I—
so just to break down what he is saying, he wants the XRP Army to know that XRP is still the North Star of the entire ecosystem. Um, it just angers people that Ripple was able to do this. Okay, that's one of the big things that's a big player here is the anger and the jealousy from other companies and other crypto tokens that Ripple was able to do this, um, and is able to keep an escrow, which we're going to get into my reason here in a second. But this all plays into it. So Ripple Payments, Ripple Prime, Ripple Treasury, Ripple Custody, The stablecoin, dude, they have one of the most fully fledged ecosystems of all time with a passionate army behind it. Um, I know most of you don't need convincing anymore to stack your XRP bags. Uh, that's not even what I'm here to do. I don't care to convince anyone to buy XRP. That's not my job. I'm not paid by Ripple or XRP to do marketing for them. Like, this is strictly out of passion. If you can't tell, I've been doing this for 5 years, holding the token for 7 years, over 7 years. You don't just do something like that for, for fun, right? Like, just for no reason. So literally, he is saying this is the heartbeat. And he mentioned the permission domains. That is a new feature that's being a new amendment proposal going through the validators for XRP. I love that he's bringing up current stuff too, but it does feel a little bit like he's— he's— I mean, this is what he's here to do though, right? He's stretching a little bit the use cases. We want to see really more practical— not practical, but we want to see uh, proven use cases, especially by the biggest partners that Ripple has. We want to see XRP being used and we want to be able to prove it to people. That's what we need. Uh, so getting into my reason why XRP easily can go to the moon, uh, easily— that $1 isn't the, the end-all be-all. $5 isn't even the end-all be-all for XRP. Even $10, $15— why would it go that high? Um, and it ties— my reason ties in with this, uh, is that they are still focused on XRP being the heartbeat of the entire thing. Now, the reason that it's gonna go up, in my opinion, my personal opinion, is because of this escrow. Okay, Ripple has a major incentive, uh, with this XRP that they hold. They have a major incentive. Uh, this escrow could have, you know, something bad could have happened to the escrow through the SEC case. Um, there's certain things like they— this is a miracle. They that they're able to hold this many XRP away from the circulating supply. Um, and it's a miracle that they were able to do that. Like, that is the reason they are so successful and rich as a company. Now they have an incentive to make the XRP price go up so that they become a more valuable company. Okay, that's it. That is the reason. Forget all this technical, geopolitical, macro stuff. You don't even need it. The fact of the matter is you have the number one holder of XRP having a major vested interest. Imagine you were one of you. Imagine you were the top holder of XRP. You would be doing every single thing in your power to make sure that thing succeeds. And gets bigger and goes up more. They are— they're not a person though. They're not some kind of OG whale human being. It's an actual gigantic entity, uh, with octopus, kraken, squid arms everywhere. And they are pro-lobbyists. They know how to lobby, uh, like it's nobody's business. Okay. They know how to swindle and get in there. Not, not swindle you as an XRP holder, although that's one of the main arguments against XRP, is that you have been scammed into making their token go up so that they can dump, right? That's the main thing. But listen, they deserve to dump. They made it happen for many of us, right? Many of us got rich off Ripple. In XRP, right? Already. That's what you guys have to realize, dude. Some people took this thing from 2 cents to $3. There— that was an opportunity that was created by Ripple. They allowed that to happen in a secure way, like a great way. You could, you could exit. It wasn't a scam, right? You know, sometimes you see a meme coin in your portfolio go up and then you can't even sell because there's no liquidity or no volume. They made this thing happen to a point where if you did believe in it and get and capitalize on it, you could literally get rich with them, right? So that's one of the main arguments is that you got scammed into being their exit liquidity, which that's a twist on the narrative. That implies that that's all they wanted to do when it's not. Because when they dump XRP on you every month, when they dump it, it is luckily going to a good place. It is going to purchasing new companies, to expanding the business. All of that contributes to the success of XRP because why the heck wouldn't they want XRP to go up? Every tick of that price, every little point that that price goes up, they are so much richer. Do you get it? It's simple. There's nothing else you need to discuss except that the number one holder is not an individual scamming piece of garbage like most of these other coins. Most meme— or for sure all the meme coins. For sure, all the meme coins, right? There's a, there's a guy who made it. One guy who made it took all the supply for himself, most likely. Maybe he bundled it and has 60 different wallets holding all the supply, and it looks like 60 people are the top holder, but he's really the top holder. The fact of the matter is, the top holder of XRP is a giant kraken of a company. Uh, in fact, top 25 most valuable private companies on Earth. Okay, that's bullish. You have to just omit everything else. Omit everything else. Now, as far as whales, right, you've got 28.9% or 28.1% in whales. Whales have the same exact interest. Every point that XRP goes up, every cent that XRP goes up, they are way richer because they hold so much, so many tokens. They get way richer. Now my point is that Ripple, a centralized company with their arms, their octopus arms in every pot, can do way more than an individual whale. And that's why it's great that we're skewed on the supply to Ripple holding most of it. Uh, speaking of the XRP Community Day stuff, it's going on right now. I'm filming this while it's going on. Uh, they're in there talking about stewardship. Okay, I come from a Christian background. My entire family was Christian, uh, and slash Catholic. I no longer claim that identity, just for the record. I am an omnist. Which means I love all of the religions. I don't just, you know, shove them over there. They're not true. They have nothing to offer me. I'm picking this one because my family handed me this one. I can't do that. I'm too— not to be arrogant, but I'm too smart for it. I can't just, you know, geographically get assigned a box of ideas and just be handed down a box of ideas. So I've expanded my consciousness. I'm an omnist. I love Buddhism. I love Christianity. All of them offer me something great for me to use. I don't believe we came here to just pick one out of 4,000 different ones. But they have been talking about stewardship, which in my Christian upbringing, stewardship was a huge thing. And I love that they're talking about it because that's one of the greatest things that came from Christianity for me was stewardship. They are the stewards of this capital, and I trust them. I don't know about you, but I've been trusting them this whole time, 7 years, right? I trust them with that capital. I think they're making great decisions with that capital. Just because Chris Larson has some cars that he loves, He's a successful entrepreneur, bro. Let him buy his cars. Let go— let Brad Garlinghouse go party with Kygo in St. Barts. Who cares? They're successful entrepreneurs. Anyone hating on their success just feels a certain type of way about their inner success. You know, it's a reflection of you, how you treat them. So the simple reason, uh, to wrap this up, the simple reason— oh, we're going to drop the secret keyword. The secret keyword is Ripple escrow. Okay, Ripple escrow. Drop that in the comments. That's the secret keyword that's going to let me know that you made it 15 minutes into the video. And if you did make it 15 minutes into the video, I'm sure you enjoy the content. Or maybe you've been hating on me this whole time, which would be funny as well. But you're a great hater. Like, I love you as a hater because you actually listen to the full video and we're just hating the whole time. So you're a good person, you know, you're a high IQ individual even as a hater. There are some, but if you made it this far, you'll probably enjoy our Inner Circle membership. We've got our XRP exit strategy software, uh, web application in there. We're dropping our app on the App Store soon. All VIP members will have, uh, access included in their membership. We're trying to expand the membership. It's getting really active in there. Lots of new people joining. I absolutely love it. I'm in there all the time, unlike other influencers. Um, I'm always in there. I'm talking every day in there. Every day I check it on my personal phone. Every single day I'm in there talking with you guys. So lock in, 2026 is going to be crazy. But nothing compared to '27, '28, and '29. Uh, thank you for watching. I love every single one of you, and goodbye.
