Something has been building in the XRP community for months. Crypto commentator Remi Relief has repeated a specific thesis across dozens of posts. On September 2, he said the moment he had been anticipating had finally arrived.
He wrote on X: “Just as I said a million times… Japan is waiting for Trump to green light the RCT, and they just got it.” He added that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had just told Japan to raise its rates, and concluded with a price target: “Easily a $100-$150 XRP.”
The Rate Argument
Remi’s argument centers on the Reverse Carry Trade, which he called the RCT. The theory holds that a coordinated shift in interest rates between the U.S. and Japan would trigger a large reallocation of capital. He has argued for months that Japan should hold off on raising rates until it receives a signal from the Trump administration.
Bloomberg reported that Bessent met with Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama and Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda. During those discussions, Bessent indicated that Japan’s next step should be to raise interest rates, according to NHK, which cited a U.S. official. Remi cited that report as the confirmation he had been waiting for.

The Broader Context
The images Remi shared alongside his post paint a picture he has been constructing over time. A July 18 post laid out his expectations, including the CLARITY Act being signed, the U.S. lowering rates, and Japan and South Korea raising theirs. He described all three as catalysts that would produce what he called “the biggest bull run in history.”
He also referenced statements from Bessent, who said the U.S. had “entered the Golden Age of Crypto,” and an earlier report in which Bessent told Japanese officials that both countries “will have a Golden Age.” Remi has pointed to these statements as alignment between U.S. policy and what he believes is coming for digital assets.

XRP and the Price Target
Remi has been specific about XRP throughout this thesis. He has consistently told his audience to hold XRP and keep it in cold storage. While some commenters expressed doubt, his new post extended that conviction with a price target of $100 to $150.
Whether the Reverse Carry Trade plays out as Remi has described remains to be seen. But the convergence of Bessent’s comments, the Japan rate discussion, and U.S. crypto policy language has given Remi’s long-standing thesis a notable new data point to build on.
