However -- most people don't understand that Ripple is positioning $XRP for an entirely new phase. 😱🚫

Having co-authored a protocol with Ripple CTO David Schwartz, here is my perspective on what comes next:💸🚀

The first stage of their strategy focused on offering fast, low-cost payments to acquire a massive base of customers from traditional finance.

Now, having processed over $50 billion in payments Ripple is entering the second stage of their plans for $XRP.

What does this entail ?

Ripple is now planning to leverage all those customer relationships to tokenize the world's traditional financial assets.

This will position the $XRP Ledger as the center of the onchain economy by distributing those assets across all chains.

But why leave the $XRP Ledger?

Expanding these tokenized assets across all chains will enable them to capture DeFi market share across all chains, driving fees from multiple chains back to $XRP.

It is our goal with $OMNI to accelerate this expansion across all other chains.

What scale could this reach?

Fees from DeFi and tokenization could easily exceed transaction fees by 100 to 1,000x.

This is what people are misunderstanding -- this is just the beginning for $XRP.

As Ripple steps into this next stage, what should you be on the lookout for

Tokenization of new assets and the expansion of those assets across other chains will be the key drivers of progress.

Soon, my team at Omni will publicly release a new product related to this.

In the meantime -- follow me to get more of an insider's take on Ripple's strategy.

$RUNE



Sometimes reading a chart is just easy. THORChain here, #RUNEUSDT . Notice the volume on the previous bull-market. Notice the flat period between 2021 and late 2024. The significant increase in trading volume indicates we are now entering a new bull-market phase. A long-term higher low, August 2024 vs June 2023; indicates a long-term higher high. 2025 vs 2021.

RUNEUSDT can reach $34 or beyond $40 late this year. You can do the maths for the potential such a price would entail. Just divide the projected ATH target vs the current price. That's more than 600% if $34. Might go much higher.

If you notice the initial bullish wave in late 2024, it is less steep than in the past. We also know that 2021 was an anomaly due to Covid and extreme monetary expansion. See how steep the rise was back then. This time, there is more support. The rise is healthier, the rise has been steady. This gives strength to the pair (market). This means that the bull-market can definitely be something different to what we experienced in 2021. We cannot compared to 2017 because the conditions were so much different. Cryptocurrency is young. It is very possible that we will have a new map and many projects would produce their own cycles. They will detach from the exchange generated bot trading charts. With real humans buying and selling, we are bound to see new charts and varied dynamics across the market. Instead of everything being the same; everything will be great.

Namaste.

In the ongoing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the potential for a settlement has been a hot topic. Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan recently weighed in on the matter, underscoring the challenges Ripple may face even if a settlement is reached.
Ripple SEC Settlement: Not a “Showdown”
Bill Morgan dismissed the idea of the XRP lawsuit settlement being a "showdown." He also expressed skepticism about the likelihood of a settlement happening soon, which contradicts Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s recent statements. Morgan wrote on X, “This is unlikely to happen but if it does it is a compromise not a big win. It means both parties give up something.”
Morgan’s comments highlight the complexities and misconceptions surrounding the potential resolution of this high-profile case. The SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple, initiated in December 2020, alleged that the company raised over $1.3 billion through sales of its XRP token, which the SEC classified as an unregistered security. However, a 2024 court ruling by Judge Analisa Torres nuanced this interpretation by stating that certain “programmatic sales” of XRP did not constitute securities transactions.
Challenges Post-Settlement
A user on X challenged the idea of a settlement without significant concessions from the SEC, arguing, “I don’t see a point in Ripple settling unless the SEC forever guarantees to appeal nothing after Judge Torres’s final ruling.” Morgan clarified that settlements generally end disputes, including appeal rights in the current proceedings. However, he spotlighted another obstacle: “The more likely difficulty is other Ripple XRP sales since December 2020 and future Ripple sales of XRP.”
Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel echoed Morgan’s skepticism, particularly about the financial demands made by the SEC. Fagel noted, “A settlement would mean neither party can appeal (which is probably why it won’t settle).” He also highlighted the unlikelihood of the SEC receiving the hefty penalty it seeks. “The SEC requested a $1B penalty (plus about $1B in disgorgement + interest). That is the only SEC position before the court. (They won’t get it; but the numbers have not changed.)”
Speculation and Complexity
Fagel dismissed speculation of a Ripple SEC settlement during the closed-door meeting on July 25. He explained, “I’ve tried to patiently explain to people what closed meetings are, how they work, and why a settlement (if it existed) likely wouldn’t even be calendared at one (as presumably the sole person here who used to attend them). Some appreciate the info; most are just into clickbait.”
Legal Nuances and Future Implications
Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty referenced the court’s decision in the Aron Govil case, emphasizing that if a buyer suffers no financial loss, the SEC is not entitled to disgorgement from the seller. Morgan pointed out that this decision could influence the Ripple vs. SEC case: “If institutional investors suffered no pecuniary harm, the fact that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals did not reconsider Govil is a good thing for Ripple.”
In March 2024, the SEC argued that institutional investors suffered $480 million in damages due to Ripple’s alleged discrimination during XRP On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) sales. The agency contended that had Ripple registered the sales of XRP, the company would have been obligated to disclose discounts offered to favored institutional investors. Hence, in case of a settlement, the SEC could limit the future sales of XRP by leveraging this argument.
Regulatory Uncertainties and IPO Plans
Ripple is also considering an IPO in the U.S., but regulatory uncertainties have exacerbated difficulties. As the legal battle continues, the future of Ripple and its XRP token remains uncertain, with both regulatory and market challenges ahead.
This unfolding scenario underscores the intricate dynamics of cryptocurrency regulation and the significant impact it can have on the industry’s key players.
