XRP advocate and Black Swan Capitalist co-founder Versan Aljarrah has reiterated his view on XRP’s long-term significance.
In his post, Aljarrah asserted that owning XRP should not be about short-term profits. Instead, the focus should be on positioning oneself for the emerging global financial order.
XRP as the Foundation of a New Era
Aljarrah has long maintained that XRP will play a central role in the upcoming transformation of global finance. He believes Ripple’s technology and XRP’s function as a bridge asset will underpin tokenized money flows, cross-border settlements, and institutional-grade liquidity systems.
This conviction echoes his earlier statements that a “supply shock is inevitable,” as major institutions quietly accumulate XRP while retail holders miss out on the market.
In his view, firms like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and SBI Holdings are strategically positioning themselves ahead of a new era in digital asset finance. Aljarrah argues that while these institutions build quietly behind the scenes, retail investors are distracted by short-term volatility and speculative narratives.
“By the time mainstream headlines confirm institutional involvement, it will be too late,” he previously warned.
Institutional Accumulation and Market Silence
In recent interviews, Aljarrah suggested that XRP’s lack of mainstream attention is intentional. He pointed out that major banks, such as JPMorgan, have discussed integrating digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum into their operations, yet they frequently omit XRP by name.
To him, this omission “speaks volumes”. Specifically, it signals that major players may be quietly accumulating or preparing to integrate XRP infrastructure in ways not yet visible to the public. However, these remain merely speculative at press time.
Meanwhile, Ripple’s expanding network of partnerships supports this theory. The company’s $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury opened the door to the $120 trillion corporate treasury market. It embeds XRP deeper into the financial infrastructure that supports global liquidity management.
“The Price Must Reflect Utility”
Aljarrah also believes that XRP’s current price does not reflect the scale of its intended role in tokenized finance. In a recent commentary, he argued that a $3 XRP cannot support a system processing trillions in tokenized assets and cross-border settlements.
He maintains that as global institutions begin using XRP to move trillions in daily value, the token’s price must rise significantly to provide sufficient liquidity.
Ripple’s Expanding Financial Footprint
Ultimately, Ripple’s rapid expansion, through acquisitions such as GTreasury, Hidden Road, and Standard Custody, has strengthened its infrastructure for institutional finance. These developments align with Aljarrah’s belief that XRP is a foundational layer of the next-generation financial system.
The integration of XRP into corporate treasury management and tokenized asset transactions positions it as a utility token central to the future of finance.
Holding for History, Not Hype
Aljarrah’s latest statement reinforces a sentiment shared by many long-time XRP supporters: holding XRP is not about chasing quick gains but being part of a financial transition decades in the making.
You don’t sell XRP to make money. You hold it to be on the right side of the new financial system.
