The crypto industry is entering a new phase. Regulation is reshaping the landscape, and the networks positioned to lead in the long term are becoming clearer. XRP is at the center of that conversation.
Skipper (@skipper_xrp), a prominent voice in the XRP community, posted a video laying out his conviction on where crypto is heading. He believes the post-regulation era will produce a dominant group of networks that includes XRP.
Skipper Names XRP Alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum
Skipper has held this position since 2020. In the video, he stated, “The big three, just like the auto boom, just like the dot com boom, there’s going to be the big three after the crypto boom, XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.”
He went further, saying the rest of the market will be focused on surviving regulation. The big three, in his view, will not face that same struggle but will lead the market.
Analysts believe the post-regulation crypto era will be led by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP — the networks most likely to survive and dominate long term.
At the same time, the #XRP-Ledger is evolving into next-generation Web3 infrastructure.

Regulation Becomes a Catalyst, Not a Threat
His video suggests that XRP could rise above $10,000 this year. While many have criticized similar predictions, he identified Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP as the networks most likely to emerge from the regulatory period in a position of strength. Where regulation creates uncertainty, these three networks are positioned to benefit.
According to Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, XRP is at the center of this regulatory shift. Regulatory clarity has been a long-running focus for the asset. The post points to XRP as a network where security and utility converge, making it a strong candidate for real-world Web3 adoption at scale.
The XRP Ledger Expands Its Capabilities
While the macro argument for XRP strengthens, the XRP Ledger itself is evolving. The post highlights a project building directly on XRPL. It gives AI-powered tools, decentralized social features, and quantum-resistant privacy to the network.
Quantum-resistant privacy addresses a genuine future risk in digital infrastructure. A recent Google research paper confirmed that XRP is ahead of Bitcoin in Quantum-resistant design.

AI integration increases utility, and decentralized social features expand the user base and use cases available on XRPL. The post describes XRPL as a next-generation Web3 infrastructure. The development activity on the network supports that characterization.
What This Means for XRP’s Price Outlook
Skipper’s long-held conviction, paired with growing analyst consensus, adds weight to the case for XRP. XRP already has regulatory clarity, and progress with legislation like the CLARITY Act will reinforce its status.
Regulatory clarity reduces risk, and infrastructure development increases utility. Both factors support price growth over time, and XRP is well-positioned to capitalize.
