XRP bull Cameron Scrubs, founder of Tradeship University, has revealed that he sold his McLaren to accumulate more XRP.
He made the revelation in a post on X, noting that he had owned the luxury car for well over a year. He said that now, he would much rather hold the equivalent value in XRP.
Scrubs added that he expects to “print a free McLaren” once XRP reaches new all-time highs. He ended his post by asking followers if they “see the simple math.”
Notably, Scrubs provided no proof of the McLaren sale — he shared no images of the car, receipt of sale, or on-chain record of the new XRP acquisition. This led many to question whether his claim of selling the exotic car for XRP was genuine.
Bold Calls on XRP
Meanwhile, Scrubs’ message follows a string of increasingly dramatic declarations he has made in recent times. Just days earlier, he urged followers to “sell everything” — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin — and move their capital entirely into XRP.
His long-standing prediction is that XRP will overtake both Bitcoin and Ethereum to become the world’s top cryptocurrency within five years.
The McLaren episode is the latest example of Scrubs’ ambitious calls on XRP, reinforcing his message of total conviction in the asset’s long-term value.
Interestingly, Similar ultra-bullish stunts have surfaced across the community.
Sold Lambo to Buy XRP
In 2024, crypto YouTuber Myles G claimed he sold his Lamborghini Huracán Spyder to buy more XRP, though the authenticity of that sale was questioned.
Months later, Myles said his father liquidated an $800,000 home to purchase XRP in full, describing it as the boldest investment decision of his family’s trading career.
The XRP community often celebrates such displays as proof of confidence. However, critics dismiss them as reckless and exaggerated signals within a speculative echo chamber.
Why XRP Bulls Are Doubling Down
Behind the theatrics, analysts point to a series of major developments that have strengthened optimism around Ripple and XRP throughout 2025.
At Ripple Swell 2025, Ripple announced a $500 million funding round backed by heavyweight investors including Galaxy Digital, Fortress, and Pantera Capital.
Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO, said the raise confirms confidence in a business “built on the foundation of XRP,” praising investors for recognizing the asset’s role in the company’s broader infrastructure push.
Ripple also expanded its ecosystem through a partnership with Mastercard, integrating RLUSD for fiat settlement on the XRPL.
These developments have reignited enthusiasm across the XRP community. It has helped fuel extreme displays of personal conviction, like Scrubs’ supercar sacrifice.
