XRP continues to face questions about its price performance as developments around exchange-traded funds, tokenization, and institutional adoption continue to emerge.
Digital Asset Investor addressed that disconnect in a tweet, asking why XRP can trade lower despite what he considers a steady flow of positive developments.
XRP ETF Inflows Take Center Stage
Digital Asset Investor began by discussing XRP exchange-traded funds and recent flows. He said XRP ETFs recorded $8 million in net inflows on Thursday while Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Zcash ETFs experienced outflows.
He connected those figures to the broader question of why XRP had fallen toward $1.30 before recovering to around $1.38. He also referenced prediction-market expectations that XRP would move above $1.60 in October, saying he expects XRP to make a stronger move.
The discussion then turned to the way crypto media covers major assets. Digital Asset Investor criticized what he described as a Bitcoin-focused media environment that frequently emphasizes Bitcoin while giving less attention to XRP. He also objected to people referring to XRP as “Ripple,” saying the distinction matters.
He suggested that capital allocation could eventually change as investors and wealth managers assess where new money should go, particularly if XRP ETF inflows continue while Bitcoin products experience outflows.
Tokenization Could Change XRP’s Market Role
Digital Asset Investor also discussed tokenization and cited figures attributed to the International Monetary Fund. He noted that tokenized assets have reached roughly $65 billion while traditional capital markets represent approximately $300 trillion.
He presented this gap as evidence of how much room tokenization could have to grow. He also referenced commentary comparing the current crypto market with the early internet era, when investors speculated heavily on technology before widespread adoption arrived.
According to the explanation he cited, today’s crypto market continues to price expectations about future blockchain adoption rather than the full value of everyday utility. Digital Asset Investor agreed with that view and connected the development of tokenized financial markets to future blockchain infrastructure.
He then discussed institutional infrastructure, including prime brokerage and capital efficiency, before turning to XRP’s potential role as financial markets become increasingly tokenized.
Evernorth and the XRP Absorption Thesis
The central part of his video focused on what he called an “XRP absorption vehicle.” Digital Asset Investor referenced commentary about Evernorth’s planned public-market transaction and its large XRP position.
He described the development as a potential mechanism for absorbing XRP supply while bringing the asset into a regulated public-market structure. He also discussed the broader institutional infrastructure being built around digital assets and cited Ripple Prime as part of that development.
Digital Asset Investor connected these developments to his broader view that financial markets are moving toward greater tokenization. He cited comments suggesting that the distinction between crypto companies and traditional financial institutions could continue to disappear as both industries adopt elements of the other.
Regulatory Clarity Remains Part of the Thesis
Digital Asset Investor also addressed the Clarity Act and recent comments about U.S. crypto regulation. He referenced remarks from Andrew Cuomo about the need for clear rules governing digital assets and discussed the possibility of future legislative progress.
He further cited comments from CFTC leadership about creating a federal framework that could allow digital-asset platforms to offer additional regulated activities, including margin trading.
By the end of the video, Digital Asset Investor noted that current price movements do not necessarily reflect long-term developments taking place across tokenization, institutional infrastructure, ETFs, and financial-market adoption.
