I'm getting a lot of comments about XRP price and why it's not moving so let me explain once more how XRP price is determined for the new people to this space and those that still have trouble understanding🧵
While everyone argues candles, a public XRP treasury company just showed up on Nasdaq.
Evernorth (XRPN) holds about 473 million XRP. Today they announced a committed equity facility with Cantor that could raise up to roughly $80 million gross if fully used — proceeds can go to more XRP, ecosystem product work, and corporate needs. It's optional draw, not free money sitting in the account.
Timelines argue about the candle. Treasuries keep stacking. Something I'm going to keep my eye on.
For anyone saying XRP will never be a high price: you don't understand what it's for.
Retail doesn't matter.
Market cap narratives don't matter.
Charts are nice to look at but they don't tell you how deep an AMM pool has to be to clear trillions without failing.
You can't chart the liquidity that would be needed if even a slice of DTCC-scale flow, plus tokenized funds already landing on the XRPL (Franklin, Aviva), plus corporate treasuries earning on RLUSD 24/7, all needed pathfinding through XRP.
XRP MUST be a high enough price to make that depth work efficiently — fast and cheap at size — or it fails the job it was designed for.
LOCK IN!!!
Here's the number people keep asking about.
DTCC's NSCC processed about $2.219 trillion in average daily transaction value in 2024. On an average day they netted roughly $2.2 trillion of activity down to about $33.5 billion — ~98% netting efficiency. That is the post-trade plumbing of US markets.
Same shop custodies on the order of $100T+ in traditional assets. Ripple Prime is already in DTCC's industry tokenization working group with names like BlackRock, JPMorgan, Goldman, DriveWealth, Franklin. That is a seat where post-trade design happens.
If you want to know what price would be required for enough pool depth to facilitate DTCC-scale daily volume without friction, use the same math.
Assume ~10B active XRP in the pools.
Assume pools need about 2× the daily flow so banks don't eat failed paths.
Full NSCC average ($2.219T/day) → pools need ~$4.44T → ~$444 per XRP
10% of that flow → ~$44 per XRP
Just the netted residual (~$33.5B/day) → ~$6.70 per XRP
That's not a price prediction. That's the liquidity floor under those assumptions. Change the active float or the capture % and the number moves. Same method I used when I walked through the $500 example on bank settlement volume.
I'm getting a lot of comments about XRP price and why it's not moving so let me explain once more how XRP price is determined — updated for DTCC, Evernorth, and what liquidity actually has to look like if settlement of that scale ever hits the ledger 🧵
XRP price comes from value / volume that needs to clear on the XRPL divided by how much XRP is actually active for liquidity.
Just because ~60B+ is "in circulation" does not mean it's all sitting in AMM pools ready to settle. Most of it is in private wallets, whale holdings, ETFs, and exchange cold storage.
What matters is the active float on the ledger.

Businesses operate 24/7. Corporate treasury needs to keep pace.
Today, we're introducing new Ripple Treasury capabilities that connect AI, automation, and digital financial infrastructure to help finance teams manage and move money around the clock.

🚨 BREAKING
🇺🇸 INSIDERS JUST STARTED LIQUIDATING ALL RISK ASSETS AHEAD OF THE U.S. MARKET OPEN TOMORROW!
EVERY SINGLE INSIDER IS NONSTOP DUMPING BILLIONS RIGHT NOW:
0 BUYS. 1,293 SELLS. $23.74 BILLION IN VOLUME.
LOOKS LIKE THE MARKET WILL COLLAPSE ON BLACK MONDAY...
🚨 WARNING: TOMORROW WILL BE THE WORST DAY OF 2026!!
Oil prices just went parabolic.
U.S. inflation is surging.
The Fed will hike interest rates again.
Asian markets are already down 20-30%.
And this is just the beginning.
The biggest bubbles always show the same warning signs before they burst.
Nifty Fifty → 1972 → −52%
Japan Bubble → 1989 → −57%
Dot-com Crash → 2000 → −74%
AI Bubble → 2026 → −82% (?)
Remember:
I’ve spent over 12 years studying markets and calling market tops and bottoms.
My next call will be posted here first.
Follow and turn on notifications before it’s too late.
What most people miss about the Swell speaker list:
Laide Majiyagbe, Global Head of Markets at BNY, sits on the DTCC board. She's on stage at Swell talking markets infrastructure with Tradeweb's Billy Hult — tokenization, money market funds, stablecoins, the next layer of liquidity and settlement.
Same week DTCC is aiming to open its tokenization service more broadly. Same company that custodies something like $114 trillion of traditional assets and plans to start with a smaller basket of equities, ETFs, and Treasuries.
You don't need a rumor that "XRP is the only rail."
You need to notice that the people who run post-trade are showing up in the same week the tokenized twin of those assets is supposed to go wider.
XRP and the XRPL positioned to absorb Massive amounts of Capital
Franklin Templeton added about $150M of tokenized money market fund shares to the XRPL this week. Roughly $200M sitting in one wallet now, second only to RLUSD on that ledger per RWA.xyz.
Same stretch, US spot XRP ETFs have taken in roughly $1.80B over their life while AUM sits closer to $1.48B. That gap is mark-to-market. Inflows kept coming while price bled.
So you have institutions parking yield-bearing fund shares on the ledger, and ETF buyers still allocating into the token even as it sits well below last year's highs.
Charts are nice to look at.
Balance sheets are what actually show up on-chain.
XRPL is changing the game
Let me explain what this week actually is.
Wednesday the Fed decides. Markets lean hold on the 3.75–4.00% range. Thursday we get Q3 GDP and September PCE. That's the price of money for the next few months.
Same window, Ripple runs Swell in NYC, Oct 27–29. Mastercard has already been in the room with XRPL builders this weekend. DriveWealth is on the agenda with Ripple around RLUSD settlement.
Retail will stare at the candle after Powell speaks.
I'm watching whether settlement gets any clearer while everyone else argues about 25 basis points.
DTCC goes live Oct. 28th
XRP is about to show it's True Colors

Are we nearing the end of this journey?
According to loadstar III.
“We are at the forefront of a new age, and when the bear looks up at that beautiful golden sun and blue skies, he thanks God for this opportunity for people worldwide to take advantage of this chance to buy XRP.
Theres no coincidence that “Purple” is in the post below.

A huge catalyst is coming; notes the DTCC, and the BIS is bracing for a Green Swan.
“Indeed we can already see the warning signs of a green swan”

‼️ “A HUGE CATALYST IS COMING WITH THE DTCC’S TOKENIZATION LAUNCH”- SUPERSTATE‼️
This is a direct quote from a fintech panel held by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.🏦
Superstate’s own Alexander Zozos explains why he believes massive changes are coming to the blockchain space after the DTCC’s launch this month.🙇♂️
The Tipping Point is Almost Here.⏲️
Listen closely.👇

WTF?
🚨 Pentagon Just Admitted Bitcoin is a U.S. Military Power-Projection Weapon Against China
In a House Armed Services Committee hearing, Rep. Lance Gooden pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on whether Bitcoin can serve as a strategic tool for national power.
Hegseth’s reply was blunt: “Yes and yes.”
He confirmed Bitcoin provides real strategic leverage over China and other adversaries… and revealed the Pentagon is already running classified initiatives both to enable and to counter the technology.
It lines up with earlier military experiments testing Bitcoin nodes for hardened, censorship-resistant communications and cybersecurity, plus the 2025 executive order that created a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
Interestingly, CIA Casually admitted that Bitcoin Is Used As A Surveillance Tool: “Bitcoin isn’t truly anonymous… it’s a TOOL we use for intel gathering.”
