A 2021 Citibank document that used the phrase “Regulated Internet of Value” 
sits at the center of a new XRP debate, after researcher Jesse of Apex Crypto 
Insights argued the wording was later shifted to “Regulated Liability Network” 
because the link to Ripple was too obvious. Related Reading: Security 
Milestone: XRP Lending Protocol Completes Military-Grade Assessment He says 
that paper trail, along with years of weak price action, points to a token 
that may be held down for reasons that are bigger than ordinary market 
trading. A Price That Would Not Move XRP’s chart is the first thing Jesse 
points to. The token reached $3.84 during the 2018 bull run and later touched 
$3.60 earlier in this cycle, yet it has spent much of the past decade moving 
sideways while Bitcoin climbed far higher. Jesse called that mismatch hard to 
explain under a normal market setup and said, in his view, suppression is one 
possible answer. The claim is not presented as proof. Jesse frames it as his 
opinion, but he ties it to a wider argument about how the financial system may 
change if XRP ends up in a deeper role than simple payments. The Internet Of 
Value Thesis Jesse says XRP should be viewed as part of an “internet of value” 
rather than just another crypto asset. He links that idea to Ripple’s 
Interledger Protocol, which he says is meant to move value in the same way the 
internet moves information. From there, he says the trail runs through several 
institutional documents and speeches. According to Jesse, Citibank’s Tony 
McLaughlin has described the Regulated Liability Network and the shared ledger 
idea as the same concept, and he says the Bank for International Settlements 
has also talked about a unified ledger that could replace correspondent 
banking and even Swift. The researcher’s case is built on that chain of 
references. He argues that if major banks are preparing a new settlement 
system, an asset tied to that system may not be allowed to swing wildly in 
price, since volatility would be a problem for anything meant to function as a 
reserve or settlement layer. Related Reading: SpaceX Exposure Comes To Bybit 
Through New Tokenized Product – Details What The Theory Still Lacks Jesse does 
not present hard evidence of manipulation. His argument is based on 
interpretation rather than any public proof of coordinated price control, and 
it ultimately leaves the question unresolved, with no definitive conclusion 
drawn on market behavior. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
