‼️ RIPPLE JUST PARTNERED WITH THE NEXT MAJOR SWITCH FOR THE ENTIRE CRYPTO SPHERE ‼️
Ripple Prime has just integrated with EDX Markets.🤝
This is a major development that all eyes should be on.🔒
Here’s why:
EDX Exchange is backed by Wall Street giants like Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Citadel Securities, Goldman Sachs, and former executives from CME Group.🔑
Together these firms have a combined $11.5 Trillion in assets under management and serve 77 million active broker accounts.💸
EDX is essentially an institutional-grade trading desk designed for Wall Street.💯
And it is now integrated with Ripple Prime.✅
The even more interesting aspect of this partnership is the descriptions used to evaluate the impact EDX will have on digital asset markets.🙇♂️
“When they FLIP THE SWITCH on EDX Clearinghouse, it’ll be like opening a massive 16-lane superhighway for these semi-trucks full of cash.” 💰 📈
“The impact of this event will be FELT across the ENTIRE crypto sphere.” 💥
Not only will the switch flip on EDX be massive, it will be easy. 😏 💨
“The underlying customer still needs to onboard to EDX, join the clearing house and agree to abide by the market’s rule book but Acuña-Rohter said the connection is ‘BASICALLY A FLIP OF A SWITCH.’🎚️🔥
This is all documented below.📝👇
For the past year, I have worked diligently to get the Clarity Act passed, fulfilling President Trump’s vision to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world.
Last week, it was reported that I was set to leave for mandatory training as part of my service in the Georgia Army National Guard, right before Clarity hits the Senate floor.
While I remain committed to fulfilling my service obligation, I am grateful to report that my training has been deferred, and that I will be able to see this effort through to the end.
Thanks to @POTUS and @DavidSacks for the opportunity to continue this important work and to everyone who reached out last week. Let’s finish the job. 🇺🇸
We Should Not Kill…
Ourselves.
Others.
Words.
Definitions.
Reputations.
Freedoms.
Safety.
History.
Culture.
Science.
Reason.
Health.
Logic.
Peace.
Joy.
“The power of life and death is in the tongue.”
Truth honors life.
Lies kill truth.
When truth is killed, knowledge dies.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
Therefore, those who knowingly lie to destroy truth are not merely deceivers.
They assassinate knowledge.
And when knowledge is assassinated, people, families, cultures, and civilizations eventually perish with it.
Every lie is ultimately an attack on life itself.
Choose words that give life.
Choose truth that preserves liberty.
Choose knowledge that cultivates wisdom.
Seek KUWL. Be Truth. Live Free.

IT NEEDS TO BE DONE UNTIL 08/07 BEFORE AUGUST RECESS ⏳
Best XRP “What if?” Question
Ripple captures 14% of global SWIFT-related payment flows.
XRP is widely accepted as a non-sovereign bridge asset for cross-border settlement
Institutions view XRP as having minimal counterparty risk relative to bilateral correspondent-bank exposures
Markets are sufficiently deep to support institutional-scale transactions
Under these assumptions, several dynamics follow
1 Price becomes a liquidity feature rather than an obstacle
The central point in the quote is not “higher prices are always better.” Rather, it is:
A higher-value asset can facilitate large-value transfers if market liquidity scales with that value
Suppose a $500 million payment is settled
At:
$2/XRP → 250M XRP are required
$200/XRP → 2.5M XRP are required
$2,000/XRP → 250K XRP are required
If order books are proportionally deep, fewer units need to be sourced, which can reduce slippage and operational complexity
2 Liquidity depth matters more than nominal price
Institutional participants generally care less about whether one token costs $2 or $2,000 than whether they can reliably transact large amounts with predictable execution
The key variables include:
bid-ask spreads
available depth
execution speed
settlement finality
capital efficiency
regulatory treatment
These factors determine whether an asset is practical for large-scale settlement
3 Scarcity can support capital efficiency
If XRP were broadly adopted as a bridge asset, then each token could potentially facilitate many transfers over time. In your earlier hypothetical you assumed an average of 10× daily utilization, meaning the same XRP could support repeated settlement activity
A higher market value per token would increase the dollar value that each circulating token could intermediate, all else equal
4 Opportunity cost becomes economically important
My earlier model introduced:
treasury reserves
AMM liquidity
collateral haircuts
institutional reserve requirements
If banks, market makers, custodians, and liquidity providers all hold inventories of XRP simultaneously, then some supply is effectively unavailable for immediate trading
In economic terms:
effective circulating liquidity decreases
the value represented by each available unit may increase if demand remains strong
institutions balance the opportunity cost of holding inventory against the need for reliable settlement liquidity
5 Why institutions might not prefer a permanently low price
This Question challenges a common intuition: “Wouldn’t banks want XRP to stay cheap?”
For a bridge asset, a permanently low valuation is NOT advantageous. A higher XRP valuation increases the dollar capacity represented by each token, provided the market remains liquid. What institutions seek is efficient, predictable execution, NOT simply the lowest possible token price
A 14% Hypothesis
If XRP were to intermediate approximately 14% of global cross-border payment value, several conditions would likely need to coexist:
widespread regulatory acceptance
significant participation by financial institutions
deep global liquidity across major currency corridors
resilient market infrastructure,
effective risk management
sufficient available liquidity to support the required payment volumes
Bottom line
The core economic insight in the @Ripple CTO’s reply is that the usefulness of a bridge asset for large-value settlement depends more on LIQUIDITY and MARKET DEPTH than on having a low nominal unit price.
In a system where XRP became a widely used global bridge asset with deep institutional liquidity, a higher market value per token could increase the network’s capacity to facilitate large-value transfers.
Price will be shaped by adoption, supply and demand, competing technologies, regulation, and broader market conditions.

The world won’t wait on America forever. We can either lead the way on digital assets by passing the Clarity Act, or watch as someone else sets the rules of global finance for us.
@SenLummis@POTUS IMO. This lady cannot be trusted with all those promises. So far she failed and said lots of garbage without any good outcome to the American people. Not voting for her definitely 💯. Too many empty promises.
🇺🇸 HUUUGE: FED-CHAIR KEVIN WARSH HAS JUST SAID THAT THE GENIUS ACT WILL BE FULLY ROLLED OUT ACROSS US BANKS IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS:
„WE ARE RACING TO PUT THAT OUT BY THIS DEADLINE THIS SATURDAY!“ ⏰
IT‘S HAPPENING THIS YEAR! 🚀
New Ripple advertisements are now dominating the Union Station in Washington DC.
“It’s happening with Ripple.”✅
“More certainty for crypto.”✅
If you needed a sign, here’s a few.😏💨
👇
BlackRock Can't Talk About XRP.
R3 Can't Talk About XRP.
@elonmusk Can't Talk About XRP.
They can all talk about Bitcoin and Ethereum.
I predict one day they're all talking about XRP. Lock In!
