Crypto commentator Xaif shared a video this week that cuts against the prevailing market mood around XRP. The digital asset has struggled to rise despite a series of positive developments tied to Ripple’s business, and as institutional interest continues to build in the background.
This disconnect between infrastructure growth and market valuation has frustrated many market participants. However, Xaif believes they should not pay attention to daily volatility. He thinks this weakness is temporary.

Ripple’s Expanding Business Footprint
The video featured German analysts discussing recent events surrounding XRP. They emphasized Ripple’s operational progress rather than XRP’s recent performance. They pointed to acquisitions, regulatory positioning, and product expansion as signs of a company preparing for long-term relevance.
Ripple recently received conditional approval from the OCC to launch the Ripple National Trust Bank (RNTB). The company has also made multiple notable acquisitions in 2025, expanding its footprint in the financial landscape and broadening its services.
The analysts argued that Ripple’s ecosystem now resembles a full-scale platform rather than a single-product company, calling it the Amazon of the crypto world. They described an organization building rails for payments, liquidity, and settlement at an institutional scale.
In their view, this type of operating growth does not always move in sync with token prices, especially during extended consolidation phases. Xaif echoed that assessment, stating that what Ripple is building for crypto could become as essential as Amazon is for traditional tech.

ETF Inflows Add Weight to Institutional Demand Narrative
A key part of the analysis centered on XRP spot ETFs. The analysts referenced sustained inflows as evidence of steady institutional participation. According to the discussion, these products have recorded positive inflows for 26 consecutive days, with total allocations reaching about $1.25 billion. XRP has since surpassed that milestone, recording over 30 days of net inflows.
This data challenges the idea that institutions have lost interest. It shows that demand exists even if price action does not yet reflect it. The analysts questioned why consistent ETF inflows have not translated into stronger upward movement.
Xaif stated that the market may be underestimating what is coming. While he does not predict an immediate reversal, he used the analysts’ remarks to reinforce his own view that XRP’s price does not yet reflect Ripple’s business scale, regulatory positioning, or institutional traction.
