- 0:07Speaker 1: Some huge news out there within the XRP community. I
- 0:10Speaker 1: think you guys want to stick around for this one.
- 0:12Speaker 1: It is going to surprise you what XRP and Ripple
- 0:15Speaker 1: are doing. My name is Paul Berreon, Welcome back in
- 0:17Speaker 1: the tech path. Let's dive in deep and let's start
- 0:20Speaker 1: with our sponsor, and that is Uphold. This is a
- 0:22Speaker 1: great place for you guys to get started. And remember
- 0:25Speaker 1: that Uphold was one of the few places where you
- 0:27Speaker 1: could actually hold your XRP and I think the XRP
- 0:31Speaker 1: holders continued to reward Uphold for doing that. But you
- 0:34Speaker 1: go over to uphold dot com use our link down below,
- 0:37Speaker 1: you get some special offers, but discover crypto better. The
- 0:40Speaker 1: cool thing I like about Uphold is access to certain tokens,
- 0:43Speaker 1: but they also do some things around advising you of
- 0:47Speaker 1: new projects coming on the platform, which is kind of rare.
- 0:50Speaker 1: We haven't seen many places out there. Remember Uphold not
- 0:54Speaker 1: in exchange. What they do is go out and get
- 0:55Speaker 1: the best price for you. So it's a great place
- 0:57Speaker 1: to get started if you're brand new. Use our LinkedIn below.
- 1:00Speaker 2: And get started. All right, Let's go over to a couple.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Of points here that have happened Obviously, CPI came in
- 1:06Speaker 1: as expected, which was good when you think about it,
- 1:09Speaker 1: but the inflation unexpectedly now falling down to three point
- 1:13Speaker 1: two percent, A lot of people thought we might get
- 1:14Speaker 1: a little bit heated here.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Very interesting point. I think chair Palace slept a little
- 1:19Speaker 2: bit better.
- 1:19Speaker 1: But the S and P Future serched eighty five points
- 1:22Speaker 1: on this and the five hundred is set to add
- 1:25Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty billion in market cap. Anytime we
- 1:29Speaker 1: see those kind of indicators in the economic position, this
- 1:33Speaker 1: changes everything. And of course Bitcoin charging up to one
- 1:36Speaker 1: hundred k again as we're hovering around ninety nine as
- 1:40Speaker 1: we record this.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Other things that are happening right now.
- 1:43Speaker 1: XRP hits three dollars for the first time since twenty eighteen.
- 1:48Speaker 1: And listen, guys, this is huge because we are looking
- 1:51Speaker 1: at the perfect storm starting to happen, and that is
- 1:55Speaker 1: a new administration coming in. What we could see is
- 1:58Speaker 1: a us token really starting to play out, URLUSD playing
- 2:02Speaker 1: into a bigger narrative that we'll go into stable coins.
- 2:05Speaker 1: I'll talk about that in a second. Currently setting in
- 2:07Speaker 1: at around two fifty six against Ethereum stern an eighty
- 2:10Speaker 1: three billion, so there is a possibility where XRP could
- 2:14Speaker 1: become the number two token if we see an acceleration.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Remember there's just several things that could play into this one.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I think that will make its biggest impact on XRP
- 2:25Speaker 1: as a whole. It's going to be the ETF and
- 2:26Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in a second.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Look at this right here. If you look at where
- 2:31Speaker 2: XRP was.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Right back here on the end of twenty seventeen, all
- 2:37Speaker 1: time high three dollars and eighty four cents. Remember that day,
- 2:41Speaker 1: because this is where we are starting to move to
- 2:45Speaker 1: right now. Once we achieve that, I think XRP is
- 2:49Speaker 1: set for open waters, and that means anything is possible,
- 2:53Speaker 1: especially when you look at all the narrative that is
- 2:56Speaker 1: painting out right now. In twenty twenty five. Xrp's value
- 3:01Speaker 1: has now flipped Blackrock, Palanteer, At, and T and we're
- 3:05Speaker 1: soon to see others like Verizon possibly in the crosshairs.
- 3:09Speaker 1: A lot playing out here in the valuation of where
- 3:12Speaker 1: XRP is going. One other thing to consider when you
- 3:15Speaker 1: look at the alternative what XRP represents. Remember this top
- 3:18Speaker 1: three token out there. Many people would be looking at
- 3:21Speaker 1: this because of its caps supply, and if you consider
- 3:24Speaker 1: this against eth eth right here, ultrasound money, the climbing
- 3:28Speaker 1: supply right there, when you look at ETH overall being
- 3:32Speaker 1: the number two token versus XRP, XRP could be the
- 3:35Speaker 1: reason why we start to see it versus bitcoins. So
- 3:38Speaker 1: a lot of people kind of leaning into that, and
- 3:41Speaker 1: I think that's a factor that's also playing out within
- 3:44Speaker 1: the narrative of XRP. Eleanor Tarat hits on this. It's
- 3:47Speaker 1: opening brief day for the SEC and their appeal against Ripple.
- 3:51Speaker 1: The agency must file it before midnight tonight. This is
- 3:54Speaker 1: gonna happen, guys, And I think this is only further
- 3:57Speaker 1: catalyst for XRP to hit its all time heights. Going
- 4:00Speaker 1: to happen, and it may happen this week. Stuart Alderadi
- 4:02Speaker 1: hits on a couple points right here, January twentieth, Gendler's
- 4:05Speaker 1: war on crypto.
- 4:06Speaker 2: Ends at the SEC.
- 4:08Speaker 1: We asked the SEC to and agree and postpone the
- 4:10Speaker 1: filing of their opening brief in their.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Appeal of our victory.
- 4:15Speaker 1: That's the current deadline, January fifteenth, that's what's coming up.
- 4:18Speaker 2: And they refuse.
- 4:19Speaker 1: What a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. Nevertheless, we're
- 4:22Speaker 1: confident in our position on the appeal and look forward
- 4:25Speaker 1: to working.
- 4:26Speaker 2: With the new SEC.
- 4:27Speaker 1: So this was a bad move for the existing SEC,
- 4:31Speaker 1: and politically, I think overall the political capital that it
- 4:36Speaker 1: expended for this effort was absolutely horrendous. In fact, it
- 4:41Speaker 1: might have been a position where it started to flip Congress.
- 4:44Speaker 1: And I think that's why we've seen such a bipartisan
- 4:47Speaker 1: position in DC that has been pro crypto. And this
- 4:50Speaker 1: may play out even more so in the coming just
- 4:53Speaker 1: in the coming the next few months, just in Donald Trump.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Of course, his new SEC to begin overhauling the agency's
- 4:58Speaker 1: crypto policies.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Is early is next week.
- 5:01Speaker 1: This is gonna move quickly, guys. We are talking about
- 5:05Speaker 1: immediate action. Remember, from a policy standpoint, Trump is in
- 5:10Speaker 1: a position where he has seen what DC is like.
- 5:13Speaker 1: He's going to had a chance to set out for
- 5:15Speaker 1: four years and understand how to build a team that
- 5:19Speaker 1: can truly go in and reformat how DC has done.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I think he's more more prepared this time than ever before,
- 5:28Speaker 1: and because of that, I think we're going to see
- 5:29Speaker 1: a lot of activity in growing the potential future of
- 5:34Speaker 1: crypto blockchain here in the United States. Now, who's going
- 5:36Speaker 1: to win because of that. The immediate thing that we
- 5:39Speaker 1: think is going to happen is all these lawsuits, Wells notices, etc.
- 5:43Speaker 2: That have been issued.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I think they get dropped, maybe get dropped in the
- 5:47Speaker 1: first week, absolutely just pulled away from the SEC and
- 5:51Speaker 1: all of their efforts. If you think about Immutable, which
- 5:54Speaker 1: is the one that got dished to Wells notice not
- 5:55Speaker 1: too long ago, they could be in a position where Immutable,
- 6:00Speaker 1: along with many others, that could be the recipient of
- 6:03Speaker 1: an immediate benefactor of where this is going. Ripple, of
- 6:08Speaker 1: course right now, is about to go big under Trump.
- 6:11Speaker 2: There's a lot of reasons.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Why we've talked about many of this that could a
- 6:15Speaker 1: Trump term be the beginning of a parabolic move an XRP.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Many people are pointing to that ten dollars margin. TRUMPUS
- 6:21Speaker 1: also already said he wants to make taxes on profits
- 6:25Speaker 1: in holding.
- 6:25Speaker 2: US based cryptos tax free.
- 6:27Speaker 1: If that happens, that will be an immediate boom to
- 6:30Speaker 1: both XRP. There'll be others out there, things like algorand
- 6:33Speaker 1: even Cardonal would be in that group. So there's a
- 6:35Speaker 1: few that could really play into that further into the article.
- 6:38Speaker 1: Coinbase is one of the axes of American crypto companies.
- 6:41Speaker 1: We already know that with standard crypto. The other big
- 6:44Speaker 1: ones that should benefit from this, of course are Hadera, Cardono, Algrind, Ripple,
- 6:48Speaker 1: which is the ones we just mentioned. SBI Holdings is
- 6:51Speaker 1: another factor that plays into this is Japan's biggest financial
- 6:54Speaker 1: services company. Remember they currently own eight percent of Ripple Labs,
- 6:59Speaker 1: and Ripple been on a buying spree in terms of
- 7:01Speaker 1: acquiring new companies. They are getting ready for growth and
- 7:04Speaker 1: they're hiring people here in the United States right now.
- 7:07Speaker 1: So value right now of one point six trillion in
- 7:10Speaker 1: yen or about ten billion dollars, So that's thirty percent
- 7:13Speaker 1: of the entire market value of SBI. Can you imagine that,
- 7:17Speaker 1: because that would be similar to almost micro strategy and
- 7:20Speaker 1: how they've been able to go about that, but doing
- 7:22Speaker 1: it in the XRP camp. Other things that kind of
- 7:25Speaker 1: play into this. SBI is going to buy more XRP
- 7:27Speaker 1: in the market, maybe even issue bonds around this, you know,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and this is exactly my point, just what they've been
- 7:33Speaker 1: doing with micro strategy and over with mister Michael Saylor.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Let me go to a clip here, because this is
- 7:39Speaker 1: Larry Fink talking about what is going to be the
- 7:41Speaker 1: next phase of growth, especially around the financial markets.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Take a look.
- 7:48Speaker 3: We're kind for democratic economies to continue to grow, and
- 7:52Speaker 3: Western economies to continue to.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Grow, We're going to have to rely more on the privatetector.
- 7:56Speaker 3: And the brilliance of the United States economy is based
- 7:59Speaker 3: on the capital market. We underestimate the power of our
- 8:02Speaker 3: global capital markets, and mostly the US capital markets. It
- 8:06Speaker 3: is my belief that capital markets are going to become
- 8:08Speaker 3: a larger and larger economic engine here in the United
- 8:11Speaker 3: States and all throughout the world. And I do believe
- 8:13Speaker 3: we're going to have to rely more on the private
- 8:15Speaker 3: capital private sector. That's what President Trump's talking about in
- 8:19Speaker 3: some of the new policies, and we'll see how.
- 8:21Speaker 2: That rolls out.
- 8:23Speaker 3: So if I had a crystal ball, I would tell
- 8:26Speaker 3: you right now that the sectors that are going to
- 8:28Speaker 3: grow the most in the capital markets, in the private
- 8:32Speaker 3: space will be infrastructure.
- 8:34Speaker 1: All right, So key words he said there the sectors
- 8:37Speaker 1: that are going to grow the most in the capital
- 8:40Speaker 1: markets infrastructure. You look at infrastructure and what that might be,
- 8:46Speaker 1: whether it's real world asset tokenization, the potential of moving
- 8:49Speaker 1: capital around, which obviously hits on what Ripple is doing
- 8:53Speaker 1: in its alternative to swift. Then you look at the
- 8:56Speaker 1: opportunity of stable coins. Stable coins is another major factor
- 9:00Speaker 1: that will hit infrastructure immediately. It could be one of
- 9:03Speaker 1: the biggest impacts on the finance system maybe in the
- 9:07Speaker 1: history of money. This is where we are truly starting
- 9:10Speaker 1: to transition to digital function of being able to move
- 9:15Speaker 1: dollar value around. And I think that's a thing that
- 9:17Speaker 1: you have to take a look at. If you look
- 9:18Speaker 1: at the top stable coins, this is my market cap
- 9:21Speaker 1: right now, Tether leading the way, USDC right there behind it.
- 9:25Speaker 1: One thing that I want you guys to pay attention to.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Let me kind of zoom in on this. Look at
- 9:30Speaker 1: this right here for a ripple, there's RLUSD and if
- 9:35Speaker 1: you look at that currently holding now, granted this is
- 9:38Speaker 1: the twenty four hour volume versus the market cap, it's
- 9:42Speaker 1: been grayed out. Why are they not tracking the market
- 9:46Speaker 1: cap more accurately here? Not from a ripple standpoint, but
- 9:50Speaker 1: from a lot of the scenarios of exchanges out there.
- 9:54Speaker 2: What is going on there? Something happening there?
- 9:57Speaker 1: Could this be that they're trying to suppress our LUSD,
- 10:00Speaker 1: when in fact our LUSD might end up being a
- 10:04Speaker 1: challenger to something like as big as Circle. So a
- 10:07Speaker 1: lot happening within the XRP ecosystem. On another note, right
- 10:11Speaker 1: here you look at DeFi Lama, this is just kind
- 10:13Speaker 1: of giving a framework around XRPL and we've had the
- 10:17Speaker 1: team on before.
- 10:18Speaker 2: This is just getting started.
- 10:19Speaker 1: You can kind of see this massive lock in here.
- 10:22Speaker 1: This is where I think we're going to start to
- 10:24Speaker 1: see more and more projects moving out. And I'm talking
- 10:27Speaker 1: about projects like even in the DeFi area. This of
- 10:30Speaker 1: course is XRP five coming in. This is Doppler finance.
- 10:34Speaker 1: This could be another area where we could see major
- 10:36Speaker 1: growth within the XRP ecosystem. A lot happening around all
- 10:40Speaker 1: of this when you look at the framework and XRP
- 10:44Speaker 1: is a much more finance oriented blockchain, and I think
- 10:47Speaker 1: that's the thing that everybody forgets is just how far
- 10:51Speaker 1: into the ecosystem of finance that XRP and Ripple are there.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Of course, is Doppler finance yield platform similarity to other
- 11:01Speaker 1: yield platforms that are out there in other chains.
- 11:03Speaker 2: So I think this could be one to keep.
- 11:05Speaker 1: A very close eye on other things that you look
- 11:09Speaker 1: at right here, and that is the market cap right here.
- 11:12Speaker 2: This of course is over on XP market.
- 11:14Speaker 1: If you guys are not aware, you can go out
- 11:16Speaker 1: and trade tokens within XP market. There's a lot of tokens,
- 11:20Speaker 1: whether you get into memes, which I think we're going
- 11:22Speaker 1: to see more and more start.
- 11:24Speaker 2: To show up right here.
- 11:25Speaker 1: But even with that marketcap of XP market holding at
- 11:28Speaker 1: a three hundred and fifty eight million, so this is
- 11:29Speaker 1: continuing to grow, and I think this again, this is
- 11:33Speaker 1: just getting started for all of that. So look at
- 11:36Speaker 1: what you can do out there within XP market. We've
- 11:38Speaker 1: done quite a few videos on this one, so search
- 11:40Speaker 1: back through our videos on XP market learn a little
- 11:43Speaker 1: bit more about that. I think it's worth your time
- 11:45Speaker 1: to spend a little bit of understanding, especially if you're
- 11:48Speaker 1: brand new to XRP and this ecosystem price all time
- 11:52Speaker 1: high soon. JP Morgan predicts an eight billion dollar jump
- 11:55Speaker 1: for XRP ETFs and I would agree this is where
- 11:58Speaker 1: we start to get into some pretty un unintended things.
- 12:03Speaker 2: And what I mean by that.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Is an area that we don't know where x RP
- 12:07Speaker 1: could truly go, especially if we start to see activity
- 12:11Speaker 1: that could circle around what we've seen already in a
- 12:13Speaker 1: Bitcoin ETF. So Eric Balshuna says that this has agreed
- 12:18Speaker 1: with JP Morgan's calling an estimate a pretty reasonable guess,
- 12:22Speaker 1: and that is huge. So if we get a XRP
- 12:26Speaker 1: ETF first, which I think is going to be the
- 12:28Speaker 1: case right behind it, I think it'll be Solana. The
- 12:31Speaker 1: real question is does XRP take a little bit of
- 12:34Speaker 1: wind out of Solana sale in terms of an ETF
- 12:37Speaker 1: or do we get the benefit of all of those
- 12:39Speaker 1: just because of what we've seen in a restructure at
- 12:41Speaker 1: the SEC and the Trump administration.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Too many good things. The other thing that you.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Have to look at is the ecosystem, and this is
- 12:49Speaker 1: one that we've talked about before.
- 12:51Speaker 2: New integrations.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Remember Axelar, this is the platform out there that kind
- 12:55Speaker 1: of makes it capable of being able to utilize a
- 12:58Speaker 1: lot of these integrations across a variety of chains. And
- 13:02Speaker 1: of course this is one that we actually had the
- 13:05Speaker 1: actual our team on not too long. But integration's incoming
- 13:07Speaker 1: right there. You can kind of see it, Sweeze, Stellar, Solana,
- 13:11Speaker 1: flow Hadera, all of these potentially moving within the ecosystem.
- 13:16Speaker 1: So all good stuff here overall, last up. Just good
- 13:20Speaker 1: news I think in general, and that is that the
- 13:24Speaker 1: Crypto Tower of Businesses will now make its debut in Dubai.
- 13:29Speaker 1: This is going to be crazy. Can you imagine a
- 13:33Speaker 1: business center in one of the biggest capitals especial financial
- 13:37Speaker 1: market capitalists. Imagine if you had something like that in
- 13:40Speaker 1: New York on in Wall Street.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Imagine that.
- 13:44Speaker 1: That's the kind of the level of I think success
- 13:47Speaker 1: we'll see in twenty twenty five. And Dubai Courses is
- 13:51Speaker 1: vying for the mecca for crypto and blockchain, so we'll see.
- 13:55Speaker 2: How it goes out there.
- 13:56Speaker 1: But the good thing is bullish into the market right
- 13:58Speaker 1: now as we move into tru inauguration here coming on Monday,
- 14:02Speaker 1: Bitcoin starting to press one hundred k again. Market has
- 14:05Speaker 1: been significantly up after our video yesterday where we're looking
- 14:09Speaker 1: how are we back? I think this is maybe a
- 14:11Speaker 1: very intriguing time. Now. Could we see a little dip, sure,
- 14:15Speaker 1: there's always that possibility, but I think long term, as
- 14:18Speaker 1: we start to see all these benefits, huge opportunities in
- 14:21Speaker 1: the market.
- 14:22Speaker 2: For sure.
