Something is brewing inside Ripple.
Rumors suggest a growing friction between Ripple’s CEO and co-founder Chris Larsen.
If true, this could be a sign of massive internal power struggles as Ripple gears up for its next phase.
Let’s break down the signals 👇🧵
2/🧵
Chris Larsen vs. the Vision.
Larsen has always been the visionary architect behind Ripple’s early strategy — pushing for XRP’s global dominance.
But whispers say he’s not aligned with certain “corporate pivots” happening at the CEO level.
The old guard vs. the new plan.
3/🧵
Control Over the Keys.
XRP’s escrow, Ripple’s partnerships, and its internal tech stack are worth billions.
Who controls the narrative and future strategy?
Tension could arise if there’s disagreement over Ripple’s next move — especially with tokenization and custody on the horizon.
🚨 Why XRP must hit $10,000 — minimum.
This isn’t hopium. It’s math. It’s liquidity physics.
Let’s decode the numbers they don’t want you to see 👇🧵
2/🧵
The Liquidity Problem.
Every day, over $10+ trillion flows across global payment rails — SWIFT, Fedwire, CHIPS, Euroclear, etc.
Legacy systems require prefunded nostro/vostro accounts, freezing capital.
XRP eliminates this by acting as an on-demand bridge asset, but only if each unit of XRP holds enough value to handle massive flows.
3/🧵
Math Check:
Let’s say XRP handles just 10% of daily cross-border transactions = $1 trillion/day.
With 50 billion XRP max supply, the network must have a high enough price per coin to support liquidity depth for all transactions without slippage.
$1 trillion / 50 billion = $20 per XRP per day just for that fraction and that’s ignoring derivatives, RWA, and CBDCs.
