Financial expert Levi Rietveld has highlighted a significant turning point in global finance. In his latest video, he connected the Federal Reserve’s tightening policies, BlackRock’s expanding focus on tokenization, and upcoming ETF approval timelines, arguing that these developments could collectively set the stage for XRP’s next major market movement.
Liquidity and Market Conditions
Rietveld began by focusing on the decline in the Federal Reserve’s Reverse Repo Facility (RRP) usage, which recently dropped to its lowest level since 2021. He explained that RRP activity measures excess liquidity in the financial system, and its $2.5 trillion decline since December 2022 signals tightening liquidity conditions.
During the last bull market, when liquidity peaked, digital assets, including XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, reached all-time highs. As liquidity contracted, the crypto market sharply corrected—a pattern Rietveld believes may soon reverse.
He stated that despite some easing in global markets, quantitative tightening in the U.S. has technically not ended. However, market liquidity is now near a breaking point where renewed money creation may become unavoidable. According to Rietveld, if the Federal Reserve fails to inject liquidity soon, the risk of bank instability could rise sharply, pushing policymakers toward larger rate cuts and renewed monetary expansion.

Gold and Institutional Positioning
Rietveld also highlighted that gold futures have crossed $4,300 per ounce for the first time, gaining over 60% this year. He described gold as a leading indicator for broader markets, noting that crypto assets often follow after such record highs. At the same time, hedge funds have been selling off U.S. equities, with over $3 billion in sales last week—the fourth consecutive week of outflows.

Drawing comparisons to 2008, Rietveld said similar sell-offs preceded massive liquidity injections and market recoveries. He suggested that current conditions could mark another “generational bottom,” with XRP’s recent drop potentially representing an accumulation zone before the next liquidity wave begins.
BlackRock, Tokenization, and XRP’s Role
In the final segment, Rietveld discussed BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s comments on the tokenization of real-world assets. Fink outlined plans to digitize traditional assets such as real estate, bonds, and equities—a process Rietveld described as transformative. He emphasized that Ripple, Securitize, and BlackRock are already collaborating on tokenization initiatives that could allow investors to buy fractional shares of assets and receive automated returns.
Rietveld called tokenization a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity and noted that XRP’s underlying technology is well-suited for such infrastructure. He concluded by referencing the ETF approval window between October 18 and 25, where XRP-related products are expected to gain clearance. According to him, the combination of renewed Federal Reserve liquidity, ETF approvals, and tokenization initiatives positions XRP for substantial growth in the near term.
