Most XRP holders are focused on price targets. Crypto expert Jake Claver is focused on something else.

In a recent post, he asked a question that cuts through the noise of moon talk and milestone chasing. Are holders actually prepared for a major price appreciation, or will they be forced to react when it arrives?

Claver’s post centers on readiness, not speculation. He argues that fixating on a number, whether it’s $5, $10, or $50, misses the real challenge. Having a plan before the move happens is what separates disciplined investors from those who panic-sell or freeze up entirely.

Most XRP holders aren't ready for a major price appreciation. Will you have a blueprint in place, or be forced to react too late?

Everyone talks about when XRP hits $______ like that number is going to change everything. But let's be real, price targets don't mean much on

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) September 10, 2026

Claver’s Position

Claver’s message is that rice targets alone don’t produce outcomes. Investors require a blueprint. Claver points out that most holders have never defined what they’ll actually do when XRP reaches a significant valuation. At what price do they take profits? How much do they hold? What percentage do they sell and when?

These are the questions he wants the community thinking about. While he has previously set high targets for XRP, his post doesn’t focus on a price or a timeline. It challenges holders to treat their XRP position like a real financial decision with a structured exit or management strategy attached.

XRP Army Reactions

The post drew a range of responses from XRP holders. BankXRP, a prominent figure in the community, admitted plans to sell 2% if XRP ever hit a certain target he can say out loud without laughing, calling it a sticky note and nothing more. Another acknowledged having personal goals and numbers in mind but said the price needs to actually move before any of it feels real enough to act on.

One user pointed out that the same conversation repeats every cycle. He noted XRP was above $3 in 2018 and has yet to match that level, with some holders still waiting on a recovery that hasn’t arrived. Another kept it simple, saying he holds and hopes.

Why Preparation Matters

Claver’s post tackles a straightforward concern. Volatility rewards those who have already decided what they’ll do. Holders who wait until a price target is reached to start thinking through a plan often act on emotion rather than strategy.

Recent data showed Coinbase whales with sell orders at $33, suggesting whales are ready for XRP to hit that level. Whether holders are actually prepared for a significant price move is a different question entirely, and one Claver thinks deserves a real answer before the moment arrives.

The post Jake Claver Says Most XRP Holders Aren’t Ready for Major Price Rally. Here’s why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Finance expert Jake Claver recently took to X to tell Matthew Mellon’s story. This story makes a point that most crypto holders overlook. Mellon died holding roughly $500 million in XRP. The keys to that fortune sat on devices registered under other people’s names.

His will never mentioned cryptocurrency. It took three years to recover the assets. Claver’s takeaway was direct: a will is only a map to assets the estate can actually reach.

The Gap Between Wealth and Access

Crypto assets exist outside the traditional financial infrastructure that estate law was built around. A brokerage account has a custodian, and bank accounts have a named beneficiary process. A hardware wallet sitting under an alias has neither.

If an estate cannot prove ownership, locate the device, or access the keys, the assets are effectively gone regardless of their value. This is not a hypothetical risk. It already happened to one of the most prominent XRP holders in history.

Matthew Mellon died holding ~$500M in XRP. The keys sat on devices under other people's names, and his will never mentioned crypto. Recovery took three years.

A will is only a map to assets the estate can actually reach.

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) September 6, 2026

What Traders Can Do

Claver is addressing people who hold significant crypto positions and have not built legal infrastructure around them. The Mellon case points toward practical steps serious holders need to take.

Estate documents must explicitly reference digital assets. A will that does not acknowledge cryptocurrency cannot direct an executor to it. Legal counsel familiar with digital asset law is necessary to draft these documents correctly.

Private key access must be structured for recovery. Whether through a trusted custodian, a multi-signature setup, or a sealed instruction set held by an attorney, access needs to survive the holder’s death.

XRP Army Responds

Several community members responded to the post. One asked if a Trust was a better solution. A living trust adds a layer of control that a will alone cannot provide. Trusts can hold digital assets directly and transfer them without going through probate, which is the process most likely to fail when assets are unregistered or held under pseudonyms.

Another said he already has a Wyoming LLC in place but still needs a formal business plan and a will to protect his children’s inheritance. A third said his group is actively moving their Wyoming LLC onto a professional platform and setting up a living trust as a starting point.

The Cost of Waiting

Most crypto holders treat estate planning as something to handle later. The Mellon case shows what later looks like in practice. The time to build legal infrastructure around a crypto position is while the holder is alive, in control, and able to make those decisions. Once that window closes, no amount of wealth changes what the estate can actually reach.

The post Matthew Mellon Died Holding $500M In XRP. Here’s What You Need to Know appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Web3 investor Jake Claver outlined what XRP needs before banks can rely on it for large settlements. He gave the example of a $50 million transaction between two banks.

That transaction requires enough liquidity in the pool to absorb the volume “without moving the price,” Claver said.

He tied that requirement directly to Ripple’s business model. “Ripple doesn’t just want XRP to be valuable, they need it to be,” he wrote. Claver explained that institutional adoption helps the network scale. He said the trend isn’t just good news for token holders.

For XRP to work as a bridge currency between two banks settling a $50 million transaction, it needs enough liquidity in the pool to handle that transaction without moving the price

Ripple doesn't just want XRP to be valuable, they need it to be

Institutional adoption isn't just…

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) August 10, 2026

Replies Challenge The Bridge Asset Model

An X user, Nomad, rejected the idea that banks would hold XRP at all. He said the asset gets “traded back and forth with no fee” between institutions, with “no one actually holding” it.

Another X user, hullbail, focused on utility rather than price. He said XRP isn’t built around simple dollar math. He wrote that the token “can’t be cheap” because heavy use would deplete available supply quickly. He described the calculation behind XRP’s utility limit as more difficult to work out than understanding the universe.

RLUSD Comparison Surfaces In Replies

Commenter SkySoldier1021 questioned why banks would use XRP over Ripple’s stablecoin. He asked why institutions “won’t just use RLUSD instead of XRP,” arguing that XRP isn’t settling transactions today.

Commenter corthessler raised a separate concern about timing. He said the requirement Claver described exists, but nobody can attach a date to it. “It needs to happen,” he wrote, adding that the uncertainty over timing leaves the community waiting.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Claver’s original post ties XRP’s usefulness as a bridge currency to a specific liquidity threshold, not to speculative demand. The comments on his post show a divide among community members. Some, like hullbail, accept the premise that heavy institutional use limits supply and pushes value up.

Others, like Nomad, argue the bridge currency model prevents banks from holding XRP long enough to affect price. SkySoldier1021’s comment adds a competing question about which Ripple product banks would choose for settlement. RLUSD, as a stablecoin, functions differently than XRP in a settlement pool.

Claver has not published a date for when banks might begin using XRP at the scale his post describes. His $50 million example sets a benchmark for what that liquidity requirement would look like in practice, without specifying when banks might reach it.

The post Jake Claver: What Must Happen to Price If XRP Will Work As a Bridge Currency Between Banks appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Jake Claver, financial strategist and Chairman of Digital Ascension Group, says the mood across the XRP community tells him something significant.

“Everyone is beat up,” he wrote on X. He says he has spoken to many people who are at a moment of despair. His read on that sentiment is not bearish. It is the opposite.

“This is what sentiment at the bottom of all the cycles feels like,” Claver wrote. He added that widespread belief that XRP is heading lower has him “feeling like the bull market is starting.”

Everyone is beat up.

I've talked to so many people that are at the moment of despair in the last couple days.

This is what sentiment at the bottom of all the cycles feels like.

It has me feeling like the bull market is starting, because everyone thinks it's going lower.

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) August 7, 2026

Anticipating the Next Bull Run

Several community members agreed with Claver. One said he is feeling the shift and hopes Claver’s analysis of the market is right. One response stood out. ChartNerd (@ChartNerdTA), a well-known crypto analyst, pointed out that many followers had assumed the bull run was beginning in 2025, when Claver predicted that XRP would hit $1,000.

Claver was criticized for this prediction at the time, and XRP spent the second half of 2025 in an extended decline. XRP moved steadily toward $1, and ChartNerd acknowledged the missed target. However, he still sees the current environment as a major opportunity, noting that bear markets are where wealth is built.

Another community member attributed the exhaustion to broader economic conditions, citing six years of rising prices across essentials including gas, food, and insurance. He described the fatigue as real but said he is ready for a change.

Context Behind the Exhaustion

The XRP community has genuine reasons for frustration. The CLARITY Act, a major crypto market structure bill that XRP holders have closely followed, missed its Senate vote before the August recess. The Senate had 51 confirmed votes but fell short of the 60 needed as negotiations over key provisions remain unresolved.

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Despite all of this, XRP has held above $1 for over 600 consecutive days. That is the longest stretch in the asset’s history. The price has not collapsed, and Claver believes a reversal is imminent.

What Comes Next?

Claver’s post arrives at a moment when the XRP community is tired but not broken. Legislative progress is slow, and sentiment is low, but XRP is still standing. Those conditions are exactly what Claver says precede a bull market. His message to holders is to read the room carefully. The despair is the signal.

The post Jake Claver to XRP Holders: The Bull Market Is Starting. Here’s the Signal appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Jake Claver has drawn significant attention across the XRP community with another post. The Digital Ascension Group CEO and crypto commentator wrote that “major institutions are accumulating XRP without saying much about it publicly.” He added that if XRP becomes “core infrastructure for international finance, the current price won’t look like much in hindsight.”

A Record That Invites Scrutiny

Claver’s credibility on XRP is contested. Throughout 2025, he predicted XRP would reach $100 by year-end. XRP closed 2025 at approximately $1.87, making his target roughly 98% off.

Despite missing that call, Claver defended his position. He argued that timelines always get extended and pointed to Ripple’s long history as evidence that large financial systems take time to build.

He did not retract his thesis.  Instead, he doubled down. In 2026, Claver issued a $750 price target for XRP, citing comments from Ripple President Monica Long about full-scale institutional adoption arriving this year. He has also projected XRP to reach $1,500 to $2,000 by the end of 2026, and stated a long-term target of $1 million per token contingent on global financial transformation.

Major institutions are accumulating XRP without saying much about it publicly. If XRP becomes core infrastructure for international finance, the current price won't look like much in hindsight in my opinion

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) August 5, 2026

The Community Responds

Reaction to his August 5 post was divided. One commenter was direct in his dissatisfaction, stating, “Your opinion has been wrong repeatedly so it doesn’t mean much.”

Another commenter shared a deeply personal response. She described over nine years of sacrifice based on XRP’s potential, including moving out of New York and encouraging loved ones to invest. She expressed exhaustion with the ongoing wait.

Another community member shared a screenshot of XRP’s current price of $1.075 and responded with visible frustration. One user pointed back to Claver’s failed 2025 prediction, reminding him of his $1,000 target for December of that year.

We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

However, some remained bullish. One commenter suggested Claver should have used “when” rather than “if” when referring to XRP becoming core infrastructure. Others expressed growing concern about that same conditional language.

The Case for Something Larger

Claver’s core argument has remained consistent. He believes institutions are building positions before any public confirmation arrives. Ripple’s reported 1,700 non-disclosure agreements with banks, governments, and Fortune 500 companies support the possibility that significant activity is happening out of public view.

If even a portion of those agreements translate into active XRP usage, the demand picture shifts considerably. The price has not reflected that yet. Claver believes it will.

The post Jake Claver Makes Fresh XRP Price Statement That Triggers Reactions appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Jake Claver is not subtle about his conviction on XRP. The financial commentator has built a following around his bullish stance on the asset, and on July 30, he shared another notable post with his community.

Claver stated that owning XRP means a holder “looked at the settlement problem before it was obvious, and sat with a position a lot of people still don’t understand.” He congratulated XRP holders for “being ahead of the curve.”

Owning XRP means you looked at the settlement problem before it was obvious, & sat with a position a lot of people still don't understand.

Congratulations on being ahead of the curve

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) July 30, 2026

Long-Term Holders Respond

Several replies came from people who said they had held XRP for years. One person said he had been holding the digital asset since 2017. Another said he had been buying since 2019, adding that he would need a job if the investment failed to pay off.

Others were more measured. One commenter said the moment did not feel like a win yet. XRP experienced a notable decline in June, and while analysts had high expectations for July, the asset has failed to meet them. XRP currently trades at $1.07, close to its price at the start of the month.

Another commenter said holding the position had required patience while being questioned by people who did not understand it. However, he remains confident, emphasizing that the digital asset will require more time and patience.

Skeptics Push Back

Not everyone in the replies shared Claver’s optimism. One commenter said he did not see institutions moving in the direction Claver described, beyond a few voices continuing to push the narrative.

Another said Claver’s investors were “down millions of dollars.” Some experts have predicted that XRP could create new millionaires in a few months, but critics are pushing back due to the asset’s underperformance.

A third skeptic acknowledged the long timeline directly. He said Claver had “doubled down and doubled down and doubled down,” and that it had taken years to reach this point. He said he was holding out hope that Claver was right.

What’s Next for XRP?

Claver’s conviction has not always translated to accurate forecasts. His 2025 prediction that XRP would reach $100 by year-end missed by approximately 98% as XRP closed 2025 near $1.87. Claver acknowledged the miss.

He argued that delays are normal when working with regulators and large institutions, and that major projects almost always take longer than planned. In 2026, he has predicted that XRP could hit $750 by the end of the year. However, the community sentiment remains split.

The post Jake Claver States What It Means to Be An XRP Holder appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto expert Jake Claver recently shared an exchange he had with Ripple. His firm wanted to custody client XRP with the company that issued it. This way, they would earn a return and keep custody under one roof. Ripple’s response stopped the conversation. “We have 4.8 billion XRP. Why do we need yours?”

That answer revealed something about Ripple’s institutional posture that Claver says he now fully understands.

I asked Ripple to custody our clients' XRP. Their answer: 'We hold 4.8 billion XRP. Why would we need yours?' That one line tells you their whole strategy. They're infrastructure, not a retail bank. Stop waiting for them to be your custodian. pic.twitter.com/FQa0CR1n08

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) July 12, 2026

Ripple Operates as Infrastructure, Not a Custodian

Ripple does not position itself as a retail or wealth management custodian. Claver’s account confirms this directly. At the time of the conversation, his firm was Ripple’s only wealth management client. The rejection was not hostile. Ripple holds enough XRP to operate at institutional scale without sourcing assets from outside clients. Its priorities sit elsewhere.

Claver’s firm later moved its XRP custody to Anchorage in 2024. Before that, the firm held roughly 30 million XRP with Standard Custody. When Ripple acquired Standard Custody, that relationship changed. Ripple’s acquisition of a custody platform did not translate into Ripple offering custody services to Claver’s clients.

The Escrow Question

Ripple’s response carries more weight once escrow enters the picture. Ripple holds a large portion of XRP in escrow, releasing it on a scheduled basis. One commenter on Claver’s post raised a distinction worth noting. Ripple may hold XRP without owning it. If that reading is accurate, other institutions could already have deals tied to that escrow supply.

We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1

— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025

Rumors about a 5 billion XRP escrow deal with Amazon have circulated for years. Nothing has been confirmed. The rumor persists partly because the escrow structure allows for exactly this kind of arrangement. A company could secure access to XRP through escrow without Ripple taking on a traditional custodial role. Additionally, Ripple currently holds well over 30 billion XRP in escrow.

A Strategic Position, Not a Gap

Claver’s experience is worth reading carefully. Ripple did not turn away a client because of capacity or compliance concerns. It turned away a client because the request did not fit the business model.

Ripple builds payment infrastructure and settlement rails. It does not compete with custodians like Anchorage. Firms that want to hold XRP on behalf of clients need to go elsewhere.

The post Jake Claver: I Asked Ripple to Custody Our Clients’ XRP. Here’s Their Answer appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Jake Claver, a crypto commentator and well-known XRP advocate, has captured the XRP army’s attention with a new post. He argued that XRP doesn’t need universal love. All the digital asset needs is the legacy financial system to keep moving at its current pace.

Speed as the Core Argument

The comment lands at a moment when XRP’s core pitch remains unchanged. Where traditional cross-border transactions can take days to clear, transactions on the XRP Ledger settle in seconds. That gap has become the foundation of nearly every argument made in XRP’s favor.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has made this comparison directly. He has called SWIFT outdated, arguing that XRP offers a faster, cheaper alternative for cross-border transactions. Settlement in seconds beats settlement in days, especially for institutions paying for delays they no longer need.

XRP does not need everyone to love it
It just needs the old system to keep looking slow

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) July 7, 2026

Supporters Back the Utility Case

Reactions to Claver’s post split in two directions. Some doubled down on the utility argument. One reply pointed to the simplest possible marketing pitch, noting that the length of a traditional wire transfer does the job for XRP all on its own.

Another made a similar point, arguing that the old system doesn’t need to lose. It just needs to keep taking three days to do what the XRP Ledger does in seconds. A third commenter stated that XRP’s value lies in utility, not hype, and predicted people will eventually understand that.

Skeptics Weigh In

Others pushed back. One reply called the speed argument weak, insisting slowness has never mattered to anyone influential, which is why the current system persists. Another expressed frustration that XRP keeps waiting on catalysts that never fully materialize. A third commenter claimed no one genuinely likes XRP, arguing people just want to get rich off it.

Why the Comparison Still Matters

XRP’s position depends less on winning converts and more on outlasting an inefficient system. Every day that SWIFT and traditional banking rails take to settle payments is another day XRP’s core selling point stays relevant. That’s the logic driving Claver’s post and the debate it triggered.

Whether XRP fulfills its long-term promise remains an open question. Institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and real-world settlement volume will determine that outcome. However, the argument itself is straightforward. Speed matters in finance, and until legacy systems close that gap, XRP’s advocates will keep pointing to it as their strongest case.

The post Expert Says XRP Does Not Need Everyone to Love It. Here’s why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Jake Claver, Chairman at Digital Ascension Group, who watched XRP for years, recently said he’s never felt this confident about the digital asset. He told his followers that he is now more bullish on XRP than he’s ever been.

The crypto investor highlighted multiple reasons for his bullish stance. The catalysts he mentioned can rapidly boost XRP’s adoption and aid its price growth.

I'm more bullish on XRP than I've ever been. New projects keep launching on the XRPL, and Ripple's payments software is expanding, the more it gets used, the more useful it becomes, and the gravity keeps building.

— Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) June 20, 2026

The Core Argument

Claver’s reasoning rests on three points. New projects keep launching on the XRP Ledger. Ripple’s payments software keeps expanding. Usage and utility feed each other in a loop he describes as “the gravity keeps building.” He treats adoption as self-reinforcing. More use creates more usefulness, and more usefulness creates more use.

This isn’t a random burst of optimism. The past year has given Ripple plenty of material. The XRP Ledger now hosts an AI Starter Kit for agentic payments, letting AI agents transact directly using XRP and RLUSD. Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini also ran a pilot on the ledger to settle credit card transactions.

Ripple also joined Mastercard’s AI payments network as a launch partner. On the funding side, Ripple shifted toward a distributed model in 2026, moving away from centralized grants and toward regional hubs and independent organizations.

Engagement Tells Its Own Story

The replies split sharply between believers and skeptics. XRP Healthcare, one of the major projects on the XRP Ledger, called its growth proof that the network effect is “only getting started.” It pointed to AI, healthcare, and tokenization as new pillars beyond payments. Another reply argued that utility and demand build value together, calling the network effect hard to ignore.

Not everyone agreed. Several replies referenced Claver’s past predictions that didn’t pan out, including a call for $1,000 XRP in 2025. One person pointed out XRP couldn’t reach $4 in 2025 despite years of bullish calls dating back to 2018. Another flagged the price sitting at $1.14 and dropping, adding that XRP falls further with every prediction Claver makes.

One commenter asked what would happen if XRP were still under $2 in a year. Another asked what projects Claver was bullish about. Claver received significant backlash from the community. However, this has not shaken his bullish stance. He has backed XRP for years, and is currently more excited than he’s ever been for the asset’s future.

The post Jake Claver Says “I’m More Bullish on XRP Than I’ve Ever Been”, XRP Army Reacts appeared first on Times Tabloid.

On a recent episode of the Dropping Bombs podcast, host Brad Lea asked crypto strategist Jake Claver a simple question about where the market would be in six months.

Claver’s answer was anything but simple. He named three macro events, set a $100 XRP price target, and gave himself a six-month window to be right. LordXRP (@Bitforcoinz) shared the moment with followers on X.

A VERY BULLISH CONTENT

JAKE CLAVER THINKS #XRP COULD HIT $100 IN LESS THEN 6 MONTHS.

IMO WITH TRUMPS HELP – BECAUSE THERE IS A BIGGER PLAN – ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. WHATS YOUR OPINION? pic.twitter.com/jzZrHjpqE2

— Lord XRP (@Bitforcoinz) June 16, 2026

Jake Claver’s Prediction

The prediction was specific. Jake Claver told Lea that XRP will be “north of $100 in the next six months.” He tied the forecast to three distinct developments he expects to materialize.

Claver said he believes the reverse carry trade will unwind, that Satoshi Nakamoto will move his Bitcoin, and that BlackRock will launch an XRP ETF. He sees these three events as arriving together within the same window.

The Reverse Carry Trade

The reverse carry trade is a macro-level shift. Whenever investors borrow in low-interest currencies to buy higher-yielding assets, that trade eventually reverses. Capital moves fast once it does.

Historically, that kind of liquidity movement reaches risk assets like cryptocurrencies. If Claver’s timing holds, XRP could benefit from a wave of incoming capital as that trade unwinds.

Satoshi’s Bitcoin

The mention of Satoshi moving Bitcoin is significant. The original Bitcoin wallet, attributed to the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, holds roughly 1.1 million BTC and has never moved. Any movement from those wallets would be a seismic event for the entire crypto market.

Claver includes this in his six-month outlook as a macro trigger that would demand the attention of every major market participant.

A BlackRock XRP ETF

This may be the most consequential piece of Claver’s prediction for XRP directly. BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF reshaped institutional access to crypto when it launched. Rumors have circulated for years that the asset manager has similar plans for XRP.

A BlackRock XRP ETF would open the asset to a large class of investors and add positive buying pressure to the market. Regulatory clarity in the U.S. has improved significantly in the last few years, and other firms have launched spot XRP ETFs. All eyes are now on BlackRock.

XRP’s Next Move

XRP has spent years navigating legal and regulatory uncertainty. That chapter is largely behind it. With a clear legal standing, growing institutional interest, and the prospect of ETF access, XRP enters this period with more structural support than at any previous cycle peak. If Jake Claver’s prediction holds, we might see XRP at $100 before 2026 ends.
