]]> A prediction is circulating on X that Ethereum will fall to $1,260 before surging to $10,000. The call comes from a trader known as Ryker, who built a reputation after buying ETH at $190 and selling at $4,000 in a previous cycle.

JackTheRippler (@RippleXrpie) posted the prediction alongside a video clip of Binance co-founder CZ stating that he cannot predict the future.

Ryker’s Track Record

Ryker’s previous ETH trade produced significant returns. JackTheRippler also credited him with accurate calls on $GOLD and $ZEC ahead of their respective crashes. The post notes that Ryker is the only crypto trader followed by CZ on X, and while CZ says he cannot predict the future, his backing of Ryker has given the trader a high level of credibility.

Ethereum (ETH) at a Critical Level

ETH currently trades at $1,580. The $1,260 target represents a further decline of roughly 20% from current levels. Several analysts and community members are closely watching that price point. If it holds as a floor, Ryker’s projected rally to $10,000 would represent a gain of over 690% from that low level.

The XRP Rivalry

ETH spent much of 2025 under pressure. It lost ground to XRP across five consecutive months, a stretch that fueled speculation about a long-term shift in market rankings. ETH remains the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, but XRP has closed the gap. ETH is also trading well below its all-time high. The distance from its peak has kept sentiment cautious.

While some experts believe XRP will overtake ETH, a move to $10,000 would significantly complicate XRP’s path to overtaking it. Predictions like Ryker’s are renewing interest in a potential recovery, and market participants are eager to see where the asset goes next.

Opinions on ETH’s Future

Responses to the post varied across the board. One trader said he would buy if ETH dips to $1,260, treating that level as a clear entry point. Another predicted ETH would reach as low as $1,000 before recovering, citing weekly chart structure as the basis for an aggressive long position in the $450,000 to $550,000 range.

Despite some turmoil in the ecosystem, many market participants are still bullish on Ethereum. Another commenter revealed that he would also accumulate ETH at $1,260, showing faith in Ryker’s analysis. However, he noted that it would be a “wild ride.”

]]> Capital moves before conversation catches up, and that capital is moving within the XRP Ledger. The ledger now holds $801.8 million in RLUSD circulating supply. Ethereum holds $795.6 million.

That gap may seem small, but it is significant. For the first time, XRPL has overtaken Ethereum as the largest host of Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD.

CoinDesk confirmed the figures, and SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG), an XRP-focused researcher, reported it.

The Numbers Behind the Shift

RLUSD is Ripple’s stablecoin. It operates across both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. Until now, Ethereum has held the larger share. XRPL has now pulled ahead by roughly $6.2 million, a margin that reflects real capital movement rather than a statistical anomaly.

SMQKE described the development as “liquidity rotation from ETH to XRP via RLUSD,” signaling that institutional or large-scale capital is actively repositioning across networks.

Why XRPL Is Attracting the Flow

Ripple Bull Winkle (@RipBullWinkle), a well-known figure in the community, commented on what this movement represents. Liquidity is rotating from ETH into XRP through RLUSD. Ripple’s stablecoin is becoming the bridge that moves capital across networks.

RLUSD does not exist in isolation. It functions as a settlement layer, connecting liquidity pools and enabling transfers between assets. When RLUSD supply concentrates on XRPL, it suggests the ledger is processing more of that activity. One community member raised the most immediate explanation: XRP operates faster and at lower cost than Ethereum.

XRP settles transactions in under five seconds and at fractions of a cent. Those two factors drive adoption in stablecoin markets, where speed and fees determine where capital lives.

The Community Reads the Signal

Responses to the news reflected measured confidence. One observer noted that XRP’s moment is approaching, reading the supply shift as an early indicator of network momentum. The prevailing read-across responses were consistent. RLUSD supply on XRPL is not a coincidence. It reflects deliberate routing of capital through a network that can handle it efficiently.

RLUSD as Infrastructure

The supply figures matter beyond their face value. RLUSD represents Ripple’s push into regulated stablecoin infrastructure. Its presence on XRPL reinforces the ledger’s utility as a financial settlement network. The more RLUSD flows through XRPL, the more demand for XRP rises. In this system, the ledger functions as active financial infrastructure rather than a speculative network.

Capital follows efficiency, and the XRPL is demonstrating that it can compete for that capital directly against Ethereum. The ledger has seen a rise in RLUSD activity recently, and with more institutions showing faith in its capabilities, it could widen the gap further.

]]> Crypto analyst Celal Kucuker (@CelalKucuker) believes XRP still has a realistic path toward a $10 price target within the next 11 months.

In a recent post, he asked, “Does it seem impossible to you that XRP could reach $10 within the next 11 months?” He followed that with another bold prediction, stating that XRP “will outperform ETH by a wide margin.”

His accompanying chart outlines a technical setup suggesting XRP may be nearing the end of a lengthy consolidation phase while preparing for a significant advance.

XRP Tests Major Support Zone

The weekly chart places XRP around $1.13, a level that aligns with a long-standing support region highlighted by horizontal lines near $1.10 to $1.13. It has gradually declined from the $3.40 resistance zone after a peak of $3.65 earlier in the cycle.

At the same time, the chart shows a descending trendline that has guided XRP lower for several months. The descending triangle now intersects with a rising support line, forming a tightening structure near current price levels. XRP has experienced an extended losing streak, but the asset now sits at the apex of that consolidation triangle.

This area appears to be the key battlefield for bulls. XRP continues to trade above the major support region while compression increases. Traders often watch these conditions closely because they can precede a large directional move.

A Potential Return to Previous Highs

Kucuker’s analysis highlights a potential recovery from current levels back toward the $3.40 region. The chart marks this move as a gain of roughly 201%. The projection also includes a rounded recovery path that carries XRP from its current support area toward the previous cycle high.

A successful return to that level would place XRP back at one of the most important resistance zones. XRP spent considerable time trading below $3.40 after failing to sustain its earlier rally. As a result, that area remains at a significant level that traders will likely monitor closely if momentum begins to strengthen.

The $10 Target

Beyond the move back to $3.40, the chart includes a second projection. That extension targets approximately $10.36, representing another 201% advance from the prior resistance level.

He believes XRP will outperform ETH in this cycle and views the current consolidation as part of a larger continuation pattern rather than the end of XRP’s cycle. If buyers maintain support near current levels and price reclaims higher resistance zones, the chart indicates a route toward double-digit territory.

]]> Crypto enthusiast Amelie has highlighted growing optimism around XRP after sharing a video of a banker who predicted the digital asset could soon overtake Ethereum.

The X post combined the bullish outlook with updates on expanding activity across the XRP Ledger. According to the post, momentum continues to build for the XRP Ledger as its use cases extend beyond payments and banking.

Banker Forecasts XRP Could Become the Second-Largest Crypto Asset

The video attached to the post featured a banker making a series of optimistic predictions about XRP’s market performance relative to Ethereum and Bitcoin.

During the clip, the speaker stated that XRP is “going to take over Ethereum” and estimated that the asset could become the second-largest cryptocurrency within the next 30 to 45 days. He also claimed that current performance data show XRP is only 2% behind Bitcoin, while Ethereum trails by roughly 51%.

The banker suggested that these figures indicate Ethereum could lose its position if XRP maintains its current pace. However, the comments represented personal opinions and projections rather than confirmed market forecasts.

Community Reactions Remain Mixed

Responses to the post reflected differing opinions about XRP’s prospects. However, the user questioned whether XRP could realistically surpass Ethereum, noting Ethereum’s established ecosystem, protocols, and developer community.

Another commenter, PX_Aino, expressed a more optimistic view, stating that Ethereum is primarily focused on blockchain networking while XRP is also making progress in those areas and could eventually move ahead.

The post Banks Are Officially Buying Into XRP. Here’s the Latest appeared first on Times Tabloid.

]]> Crypto investor Cheeky Crypto, in a recent tweet, presented a narrative suggesting a shift in how institutional players may be interacting with digital assets.

The commentary centered on what was described as a significant trading volume milestone of approximately $89,640,000 attributed to a single asset outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum in a specific trading environment.

According to the statement, this activity was observed primarily within South Korean markets, including major exchanges such as Bithumb, which the commentator described as highly influential in setting short-term liquidity trends.

Cheeky Crypto suggested that the observed volume concentration indicates more than retail-driven speculation, instead framing it as evidence of deeper structural participation from larger financial entities and enterprise-focused actors.

The video further emphasized that conventional market tracking of Bitcoin and Ethereum does not capture what was described as an “underlying current” of capital movement across digital asset infrastructure.

Claims Regarding Institutional Interest and XRP Utility

A significant portion of the commentary focused on XRP and its perceived role within institutional financial systems. Cheeky Crypto stated that billion-dollar banking institutions and enterprise software organizations are increasingly evaluating blockchain systems based on functional architecture rather than speculative price behavior.

The narrative presented in the video claimed that XRP’s activity in high-volume environments reflects a preference for assets to facilitate rapid cross-border value transfer.

It was suggested that this aligns with the concept of on-demand liquidity, in which digital assets are used as intermediary settlement mechanisms to reduce reliance on pre-funded accounts and traditional correspondent banking systems.

The commentary contrasted this with Bitcoin’s role, which was described as primarily a store-of-value asset, while Ethereum was referenced in relation to smart contract execution and scalability constraints under high network demand. Within this framing, XRP was positioned as an operational liquidity layer intended for efficient settlement flows.

Cheeky Crypto also cited South Korean exchange activity as a signal of what he described as “structural preference,” in which trading behavior allegedly reflects institutional testing of blockchain networks under high throughput conditions.

Outlook on Legacy Finance and Digital Infrastructure Transition

The broader argument presented in the video focused on the inefficiencies of the existing global financial system. Cheeky Crypto described legacy banking infrastructure as dependent on correspondent banking relationships, manual reconciliation processes, and delayed settlement cycles, which can result in capital being locked in pre-funded accounts.

Within this context, the commentary suggested that digital asset networks are being assessed as potential upgrades to existing financial rails rather than replacements for traditional banking systems. It was argued that institutions are seeking predictable, high-throughput networks capable of supporting cross-border transactions at scale.

The video further noted that regulatory uncertainty, competition from central bank digital currencies, and evolving technological standards may influence how blockchain-based settlement systems integrate into global finance.

The post Banking Expert Says XRP Will Easily Surpass Ethereum If This Happens appeared first on Times Tabloid.

]]> A recent tweet by computer engineer CharuSan XRP outlined a strong view on how XRP could be valued in a future financial system driven by real-world utility rather than market sentiment.

The post, titled “Utility Based Pricing ‘XRP The KING’,” stated that if XRP were ever to reach the $150 to $300 range, such movement would not be the result of general crypto market trends such as correlation with Bitcoin, speculative demand, or typical buying and selling pressure.

Instead, the post emphasized that valuation would shift toward what it described as utility-based pricing. In this model, XRP’s price would be determined by the velocity and volume of daily global financial flows. The author suggested that once the asset is integrated into global financial infrastructure, price formation would depend less on exchange activity and more on transactional demand across payment systems.

Claims on Market Decoupling and ETH Comparison

The post further stated that XRP could eventually surpass Ethereum in market positioning due to this transition toward utility-driven valuation. It argued that once global financial systems begin operating on XRPL-based infrastructure, XRP would decouple from the broader cryptocurrency market, including movements in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The author described this as a structural shift where XRP would no longer respond primarily to retail trading activity. Instead, it would operate within a financial environment driven by settlement flows. The post also suggested that at higher price levels, Ethereum could face increased competition within the smart contract sector from alternative networks such as Solana and Sui, potentially influencing its relative positioning.

The message added that under a utility-based pricing environment, assets integrated into multi-chain financial systems could gain substantial value. However, it also noted that many digital assets may fail to survive in such a transition due to shifting infrastructure requirements and market consolidation.

Community Reactions on X

Responses under the post reflected both agreement and skepticism. One user, Fatma Otts, responded that while utility-driven pricing is logically consistent in theory, the claim that XRP would “easily surpass ETH” appears to be a significant assumption. This response highlighted caution regarding the scale and speed of the projected valuation shift.

Another user, unknowDLT, expressed a more supportive view, stating that central bank adoption could play a major role in XRP’s future usage. The comment suggested that entities such as European and G7 financial institutions could use XRP for settlement, framing accessibility to the asset as strategically important rather than purely speculative.

Implications Raised by the Post

The post from CharuSan XRP ultimately frames XRP’s long-term valuation as dependent on integration into high-volume financial systems rather than exchange-based trading dynamics. It presents a scenario in which global payment infrastructure could redefine how the asset is priced, shifting emphasis from speculative cycles to transactional utility.

While the views expressed remain speculative and forward-looking, the discussion reflects ongoing debates within the digital asset space regarding how real-world adoption and financial infrastructure integration could influence long-term valuation models.

]]> The race to dominate the tokenized real-world asset sector is becoming increasingly competitive, with blockchain networks seeking a larger share of institutional financial products moving on-chain.

Crypto pundit Xaif Crypto recently announced that the XRP Ledger has achieved a significant milestone by emerging as the leading blockchain for Ondo’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, ahead of both Ethereum and Solana in on-chain value.

In the X post, Xaif Crypto stated, “XRP Ledger is the #1 blockchain for Ondo’s tokenized US Treasury fund, surpassing Ethereum and Solana with $274M in total value held on-chain.”

The post included a video that pointed to blockchain data tracking tokenized U.S. Treasury assets and highlighted the XRP Ledger’s reported position at the top of the rankings.

Video Points to XRP Ledger’s On-Chain Treasury Holdings

During the attached video, the presenter referenced the RWA.xyz website, a platform that tracks real-world assets tokenized on public blockchains. The video directed viewers to the section covering tokenized U.S. Treasury bills and highlighted a chart comparing blockchain networks that host these assets.

According to the video, the XRP Ledger holds approximately $274 million worth of Ondo’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund on-chain. The presenter emphasized that this figure places the XRP Ledger ahead of Ethereum and Solana, making it the largest blockchain by value for that particular fund.

The speaker also noted that the fund is associated with major financial firms, including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton, pointing to their significant presence in the traditional asset management industry.

The video further noted that despite the XRP Ledger recording approximately $274 million in tokenized Treasury assets, only a limited number of wallets currently hold the tokens.

Community Reacts to the Development

The post generated reactions from members of the XRP community, with many viewing the reported figures as evidence of increasing institutional use of the XRP Ledger for tokenized financial products.

One commenter, GigaChadRizzGod, contrasted the XRP Ledger’s reported achievement with activity on Ethereum and Solana, writing that while users focused on meme coins and transaction fees on other networks, the XRP Ledger quietly secured the top position for Ondo’s tokenized Treasury holdings.

The commenter described the development as representing “real yield,” “real institutions,” and “real speed,” while predicting that the momentum could continue throughout 2026.

The post reflects ongoing interest in the expanding tokenized asset market, where blockchain networks compete to host financial products backed by traditional assets.

Xaif Crypto’s update has added to that conversation by highlighting the XRP Ledger’s reported leadership position in Ondo’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund based on the latest on-chain figures presented in the accompanying video.

]]> SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG), a prominent researcher in the crypto space, recently shared a page from an Asian Development Bank (ADB) publication on cryptoassets and their relationship to formal payment systems.

The document draws a clear distinction between those that operate outside the financial system and those that function within it. XRP lands firmly in the second category.

Details of the Document

The ADB publication addresses how regulators classify cryptoassets in relation to formal payment systems. It states that “payment system” is a broader concept than currency alone, encompassing rules, participants, and infrastructure. Cryptoassets, the document notes, do form payment systems, but in most cases these are alternative payment systems that sit outside the formal structure.

The document then makes a direct distinction: “Bitcoin and Ether often fall outside, while Ripple and XRP often fall within the system.” The reason is structural. Formal payment systems are generally closed-loop systems. Cryptocurrencies that integrate into that structure can serve as settlement vehicles rather than as mediums of exchange.

Importance of this Distinction

Bitcoin was designed as a disruptive alternative to sovereign currency arrangements. It operates independently of any government or existing financial institution. Ethereum shares a similar foundation. Both assets exist as alternatives to the system, not components of it.

XRP occupies a different position. Ripple built XRP to address inefficiencies inside the existing financial system, particularly in cross-border settlement. That design choice determines how regulators classify it. Jurisdictions that recognize cryptoassets within formal payment systems open a path for settlement use, and XRP fits that definition.

The Regulatory Lens

The document draws on standards from the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). These are the standards central banks use when evaluating whether a cryptoasset belongs in the regulated payment infrastructure. XRP’s classification under this lens gives it a regulatory profile that Bitcoin and Ethereum do not currently share.

SMQKE’s post highlights this as a structural advantage. “XRP, on the other hand, was designed to solve some of the financial system’s biggest inefficiencies,” the researcher wrote. The ADB document supports that characterization by placing XRP within the formal system rather than outside it.

What This Means Going Forward

The classification in an ADB publication signals that XRP’s design aligns with how international financial regulators view payment infrastructure. As more jurisdictions develop legal frameworks for cryptoassets, assets that already fit within formal payment system definitions start at an advantage.

The distinction the ADB draws is not speculative. It is documented, institutional, and based on the functional design of each asset. It supports SMQKE’s view that XRP is an irreplaceable part of the future global financial system.

]]> Recent exchange-traded fund (ETF) flow data has become a focal point for market participants assessing institutional sentiment across the cryptocurrency sector.

Crypto commentator X Finance Bull drew attention to the latest figures. He said that capital is beginning to rotate toward XRP while funds tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum are experiencing net outflows.

In the tweet, X Finance Bull highlighted what he described as a developing shift in investor behavior. According to the figures shared in the post, Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $483 million, while Ethereum ETFs saw $44 million leave the market. In contrast, XRP ETFs attracted $4.13 million in inflows during the same period.

Based on these numbers, the commentator suggested that capital movement is already underway. He stated that the “rotation to XRP is happening right in front of your eyes,” emphasizing the contrast between money leaving Bitcoin and Ethereum products and money entering XRP-related investment vehicles.

Institutions Buying Despite Market Weakness

A central theme of the tweet was the difference between institutional and retail behavior during periods of price weakness. X Finance Bull argued that some investors may be focusing too heavily on short-term price declines while larger market participants continue getting positions.

Addressing concerns about XRP’s recent price performance, he wrote, “You’re scared of the price dip? Institutions are buying through it.” The statement reflects a broader belief among many XRP supporters that professional investors often take advantage of market pullbacks to build positions before gains.

The commentator concluded the post with the message, “You’ll see soon enough. IYKYK,” indicating his confidence that the significance of the ETF flow data will become more apparent over time.

Community Reactions Show Mixed Views

The post generated a range of responses from members of the crypto community, with some agreeing with the assessment and others urging caution.

One user, 8lends, supported the argument by suggesting that institutional investors tend to remain patient during periods of uncertainty. The commenter wrote that institutions are patient while retail investors panic, adding that the shift toward XRP is only beginning.

Others questioned whether the available data is sufficient to support the conclusion of a broader market rotation. User itsmeverin acknowledged that the inflow and outflow figures were noteworthy but argued that describing the trend as a full rotation may be premature. The commenter noted that a few million dollars entering one ETF while hundreds of millions leave another does not necessarily confirm a large-scale shift in capital allocation.

The discussion also attracted criticism from some participants who strongly rejected bullish XRP projections and challenged claims regarding the asset’s long-term valuation potential. These responses highlighted the continuing divide within the cryptocurrency community over XRP’s market outlook, utility, and relationship to Ripple.

While opinions remain divided, X Finance Bull’s post has renewed attention to ETF flow data as investors monitor whether XRP can continue attracting institutional capital in the months ahead.

]]> Top XRP Ledger validator Vet (@Vet_X0) recently hinted at what is currently happening within the Ethereum community.

He wrote, “The Ethereum community is in turmoil right now.” The message drew significant attention from the crypto community, and the full story is intriguing as Ethereum is facing a significant change.

Vet followed up with some detail, revealing that “few big names sold their ETH holdings and very senior people left the Ethereum Foundation.” The departures created a wave of commentary across the community about the state of Ethereum.

The Exodus That Started It All

The Ethereum Foundation has lost at least eight senior staff members in 2026. Tim Beiko, Barnabé Monnot, Carl Beek, Julian Ma, Trent Van Epps, and Alex Stokes all departed within months of each other. Former co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak resigned in February after less than a year in the role. Josh Stark left in March after seven years.

The Foundation has offered no public explanation for the exits. Despite some bullish expectations from analysts, the silence is fueling negative speculation across the community about leadership direction and internal culture.

XRP Community Voices React

The replies to Vet’s post hit across the community. Prominent crypto journalist Laura Shin weighed in, arguing that Ethereum’s problems stem from neglecting tokenomics in its development decisions since the Dencun upgrade in 2024.

While Dencun benefited from Layer 2 activity, it also reduced fee revenue flowing back to ETH holders. Ethereum prioritized scaling over building a strong economic model for ETH itself, and things have spiraled since. Another commenter pointed to statements Vitalik Buterin made years ago about Ethereum’s scaling approach, arguing the current situation was visible long before it arrived.

XRP Moves Into Position

Not everyone in the replies focused on what Ethereum loses. One commenter pointed directly at the competitive picture, stating, “No, they’re just setting up for XRP to flip them in the next month or two.”

That comment reflects a growing sentiment in the XRP community. Ethereum’s leadership instability arrives at a time when XRP is gaining institutional traction. The XRPL is expanding into tokenized assets and stablecoins. A sustained loss of confidence in Ethereum’s direction could accelerate capital rotation toward competing networks.

Experts have predicted for years that XRP will flip Ethereum. The turmoil at the Ethereum Foundation presents a major opportunity for XRP to regain its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency.
