Hey everyone, I feel like I owe it to this community to share what I think is coming over the next few months. It’s been a while since the predictions in my pinned post came true, and I’ve been reflecting on what’s next. Here’s what I see happening—I hope it helps you prepare.
1. The Holiday Rally
Every year, around Christmas, the crypto market tends to rally. Why? People get together with family, talk about crypto over eggnog, and suddenly, new money flows in. It’s happened more often than not—about 8 out of 10 times.
2. BlackRock’s Moves
BlackRock is always up to something. Larry Fink and his team are masters at reading the market and positioning themselves for success. Don’t underestimate their ability to shape things to their advantage, even if it means countering whatever plans Elon or Trump might have.
3. Gensler’s Last Hurrah
Gary Gensler probably isn’t done making waves. I think he’ll push an appeal in the Ripple case to create as much chaos as he can on his way out. He’s looking for one last win for his allies (like the Ethereum Foundation) before the door closes on him. But there are strong voices ready to fight back, like Paul Atkins. Still, expect some panic in the market—it’s just how things go.
4. A Pro-Crypto SEC
Change is coming. A new, pro-crypto leader at the SEC could finally resolve the Ripple case and shift the whole regulatory landscape in favor of crypto. This could be a turning point.
5. Utility Takes Over
This is the moment the XRP community has been waiting for. Once utility kicks in, speculative pumps will feel small in comparison. For XRP to move trillions of dollars globally through systems like SWIFT after ISO 20022 fully rolls out, it can’t stay cheap. Real adoption requires a higher price. Next year’s ISO 20022 implementation could be like the internet boom for crypto—a time when the tokens with real value absorb liquidity and the useless ones fade away.
6. Patience Will Be Rewarded
Here’s the truth: XRP won’t see those sky-high prices unless it’s directly used in the global financial system. Tools like RLUSD will help institutions manage volatility and encourage adoption, but real value comes from direct usage. It’s going to take time, but good things usually do.
We’re on the verge of something big. It won’t all happen overnight, and there will be bumps along the way, but the future is bright for those who stick it out. Stay patient, stay focused, and keep the bigger picture in mind.
