Tucker Carlson Interview With Predictive Historian Jiang Xueqin Highlights Economic Risks of Iran War

Crypto analyst X Finance Bull has laid out a detailed theory explaining why 
XRP’s large token supply, often criticized as a weakness, could actually serve 
as a powerful mechanism for institutional adoption. His analysis comes as XRP 
community members continue to burn tokens to help reduce supply. In contrast, 
others demand that Ripple burn its escrowed holdings to drive scarcity and 
trigger a price spike. The XRP Supply Is A “Catalyst”, Not a “Problem” In an X 
post on March 18, X Finance Bull observed that many people tend to look at 
XRP’s substantial supply of 100 billion tokens and, as a result, become 
alarmed, often describing it as a problem. He explained that the main concern 
about XRP’s supply stems from the belief that Ripple still controls a large 
portion of the tokens, estimated at between 39 billion and 44 billion XRP.

To $100 Is Coming However, instead of seeing this as a negative, the analyst 
suggested that XRP’s large supply could actually be a “catalyst.” He argued 
that Ripple’s current concentration of XRP places the company above a key 
threshold discussed in the CLARITY Act, which evaluates whether an affiliated 
group holds 20% or more of a digital asset. X Finance Bull explained that 
Ripple’s large reserve creates a strategic opportunity to distribute between 
20 million and 25 million XRP to institutional partners. Some of these include 
banks, liquidity providers, payment companies, central bank infrastructure 
partners, and tokenization platforms. As these tokens gradually move from 
escrow into operational use, the analyst expects Ripple’s total XRP holdings 
to drop below 20% eventually. Consequently, this shift could strengthen 
decentralization, increase regulatory comfort, and open the door to broader 
institutional participation. Building on this outlook, X Finance Bull outlined 
what XRP’s supply structure could look like after Ripple completes its 
distribution. He projected that the crypto company would hold around 18 
billion XRP after the transfer. At the same time, banks would own 12 billion, 
liquidity providers roughly 10 billion, exchanges around 8 billion, payment 
firms about 6 billion, and public holders retaining approximately 46 billion. 
The analyst further argued that when institutions receive these tokens, they 
would not sell them but would instead use them to power real global settlement 
activities. In a real-world scenario, he said liquidity providers would 
maintain large pools of XRP, while payment companies would operate live 
corridors, all of which would sustain operational demand for XRP. At the same 
time, he expects XRP to function as a bridge asset for cross-border liquidity, 
tightening its circulating supply and supporting its price growth as demand 
expands. The Broader Case For XRP’s Projected Institutional Future Beyond 
supply dynamics, X Finance Bull noted that several real-world developments 
already support the framework he described. He pointed to XRP’s commodity 
classification, which he noted is already active, along with approximately 
$1.4 billion in ETF inflows and around $2.3 billion in tokenized real-world 
assets (RWAs). Related Reading: XRP Negative Funding Continues, Crashes To 
Levels Not Seen Since 2022 The analyst also mentioned the pending national 
bank charter for Ripple and the company’s continued global expansion and 
corporate acquisitions as signs that the institutional layer is actively 
forming around XRP. Furthermore, as the CLARITY Act approaches, the new 
framework could play a significant role in shaping how institutions view XRP 
and other digital assets. Featured image from Freepik, chart from
