Sometimes history taps a project on the shoulder and says, “Your turn.”
For XRP, that moment may be arriving.
Crypto analyst and long-time XRP advocate Levi Rietveld recently reignited the debate with a simple but loaded statement on X: “$XRP is built for this.” He shared it alongside a clip of U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was speaking about reassessing regulatory barriers around blockchain, stablecoins, and next-generation payment systems.
Bessent’s message was clear and unusually direct for Washington. The U.S. government wants to modernize financial infrastructure, remove unnecessary friction, and allow capital markets to operate more efficiently for everyday users. This includes taking a hard look at how regulation may be slowing down blockchain-based payments and settlement systems.
To XRP supporters, this wasn’t just political noise. It sounded like a mission statement XRP has carried since day one.
Unlike many crypto assets built primarily for speculation, XRP and the XRP Ledger were engineered for payments: fast settlement, low costs, high throughput, and interoperability between financial systems. The goal was never to replace banks overnight, but to upgrade the rails they move money on. Cross-border payments, liquidity provisioning, and real-time settlement are not side features for XRP. They are the core design.
The broader political backdrop matters too. Under the current U.S. administration, there is a visible push toward clearer crypto regulation. Proposals like the Clarity Act aim to distinguish payment-focused digital assets from securities and to clearly divide oversight responsibilities between regulators like the SEC and CFTC. If passed, such frameworks could finally give projects like XRP the regulatory certainty they’ve been waiting for.
Bessent’s emphasis on removing barriers to blockchain, stablecoins, and new payment systems aligns almost uncomfortably well with XRP’s original thesis. Reduce friction. Increase efficiency. Let capital move at the speed of the internet.
Skeptics will, rightly, remain cautious. Policy promises don’t always translate into execution. But from a structural standpoint, this is the exact environment XRP was designed to operate in.
Markets cycle. Narratives rotate. But infrastructure-focused assets tend to shine when regulation shifts from suppression to integration. If the U.S. truly follows through on modernizing payments, XRP won’t need to reinvent itself.

$XRP is closing out 2025 in an uncomfortable spot.
📉 Trading around $1.87
⬇️ Nearly 50% down from the $3.66 high earlier this year
😕 Many traders have already shifted focus to 2026
But one voice is shaking the timeline 👇
🧠 Jake Claver says he’s “99.99999% confident” XRP will make an unbelievable move before year-end.
With just days left in 2025, that level of certainty has sparked serious debate across crypto.
📊 Price action tells a painful story
• Multiple failed breakouts
• Short-lived rallies
• Sellers stepping in every time momentum builds
Patience among holders is wearing thin.
💼 Behind the scenes, institutions are still buying
• $1.14B in XRP ETP inflows in ONE month
• Total XRP ETP assets now ~$1.25B
• Firms involved: Grayscale, Bitwise, Franklin, Canary
🏦 That’s nearly 1% of XRP’s total market cap quietly positioning.
🔍 Claver points to:
• Global liquidity shifts 🌍
• U.S. regulatory changes 🇺🇸
• Japan’s evolving financial system 🇯🇵
🔥 He’s even floated triple-digit XRP in the long run — a claim drawing both hype and heavy criticism.
⚖️ Reality check:
Institutional interest is growing… but price remains stuck.
Whether this move happens in days or in 2026, XRP is becoming a test of patience, not hype.
⏳ Big moves rarely arrive when everyone expects them.
Are you watching — or waiting? 👀📈
