Despite XRP’s ongoing price stagnation, Wall Street insider Jake Claver believes the asset is vastly undervalued, hinting at its potential to transform global finance.
“Major institutions are stacking up XRP behind the scenes while keeping the public in the dark,” Claver, a family office professional, tweeted on Friday. According to him, XRP is set to become the bedrock of international finance, offering a rare combination of regulatory clarity, utility, and explosive potential.
“The current price is merely a shadow of what’s coming. When XRP transforms into the foundation of international finance, today’s hesitation will become tomorrow’s regret,” he added.
Claver further emphasized his confidence in XRP’s prospects, noting that in his opinion, “nothing in crypto space offers this level of certainty and potential for massive returns.”
His statements align with those of crypto analyst Digital G, who also suggested that XRP remains one of the most manipulated assets in terms of price despite institutional adoption. The pundit further predicted that long-term holders will soon see unprecedented wealth, claiming that “$15,000 per token is incoming” based on XRP’s function in facilitating cross-border payments.
Notably, these optimistic price predictions come amid growing evidence of XRP’s increasing adoption by major financial institutions worldwide. XRP’s enterprise adoption has been growing steadily across continents. Ripple’s technology is now being utilized or explored by over 300 financial institutions globally. These include major players such as SBI Holdings in Japan, whose $10 billion investment in Ripple in February surpasses XRP’s market cap, and American Express, Santander, PNC Bank, and Standard Chartered.
Furthermore, the recent acquisition of Hidden Road, a global prime brokerage clearing over $10 billion in daily volume, marks a quiet but transformative moment for Ripple. By integrating XRP into such high-volume financial infrastructure, Ripple positions the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to handle hundreds of millions in daily settlement value potentially. Notably, if even a fraction of Hidden Road’s transactions migrates to XRPL, the demand for XRP could surge exponentially.
Regional adoption is also expanding rapidly. From Japan, where 80% of banks may adopt Ripple’s tech by 2025, to Brazil, South Korea, and the UAE, institutions are aligning with Ripple for faster, more cost-efficient remittances. ETFs tied to XRP are also gaining traction in markets like the U.S. and Brazil, signaling increased interest from regulated, institutional investors.
That said, while the broader crypto market fixates on meme coins and short-term hype cycles, XRP is quietly securing its role as an infrastructural layer of the next-generation financial system. The convergence of institutional accumulation, real-world utility, and regulatory clarity suggests a paradigm shift may be closer than many realize.
At press time, XRP was trading at $2.10, reflecting a 2.48% surge in the past 24 hours.
