In a recent podcast, Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, made a daring assertion about the future of XRP.
Specifically, Aljarrah criticized the belief that XRP doesn’t need a high price to be effective, arguing that “they lied”. He suggested that as adoption scales, liquidity management will require a high-value XRP to move institutional capital and settle cross-border payments on a global scale.
“XRP absorbs liquidity,” he said, “essentially acting like a swimming pool full of money. Holding XRP secures your seat at the table where this is all going.”
“XRP Must Be High Price to Move Quadrillions”
According to Aljarrah, XRP’s rise in price will be a direct result of its expanding role in global finance, where it could support “hundreds of trillions, possibly quadrillions” in financial flows.
To him, the key to XRP’s inevitable price increase lies in its ability to act as essential infrastructure supporting real-time settlement and liquidity on a massive scale.
Notably, Aljarrah is an XRP permabull who maintains that the coin cannot remain below the $3 price given its utility in global payments.
He has continued to reiterate that $3 for XRP is too low to sustain its expected role in a future involving trillions in tokenized assets and stablecoins. In his view, as institutions increasingly use stablecoins for Treasury debt, government spending, and asset settlement, XRP must scale accordingly.
XRP as a Unit of Measurement
Meanwhile, co-host David spoke about how the concept of value is shifting in the digital age. He highlighted a common question he receives from many in the crypto community: “Do you think XRP could hit $1,000?”
While David agreed such a price is possible, he cautioned that XRP’s value should not be measured solely in terms of its dollar price.
“What will $1,000 buy you when XRP hits that price?” the pundit asked. He urged the community to look beyond the legacy financial system, which is “literally dying in front of our faces.”
David pointed out that the real shift in value will come when the question is not whether XRP will hit $1,000 or $10,000, but rather “what 1 XRP can actually do for you.”
“XRP will become the mode of value, the measuring agent,” he said, noting that he already mentally converts prices into XRP rather than traditional currencies when shopping.
“Gold Backs It, XRP Moves It,” The Future of Global Finance
The discussion also highlighted the ongoing transformation of the global financial system. Aljarrah and David noted that institutions like the Federal Reserve, World Bank, and IMF are evolving as the global economy adapts to emerging challenges and technologies.
David framed this within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, predicting the rise of new financial models and infrastructure. He concluded with the bold vision that “Gold backs it, XRP moves it,” positioning XRP as a key utility in the financial systems of the future.
David even suggested this emerging system could align with biblical prophecies. He hinted that today’s developments may be laying the foundation for a global financial framework foretold in ancient texts.
