Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, recently revisited the valuation of XRP, arguing that its true role in the global financial system is only beginning to be understood. In a detailed YouTube video , he explained that XRP was not designed for retail speculation but rather as the backbone of the infrastructure for a tokenized global economy. He noted that the “circulating supply of XRP is actually far smaller than most people think once you remove escrow and institutional holdings,” stressing that once tokenized debt, gold, and stablecoins require liquidity, available supply could collapse overnight. Aljarrah emphasized that XRP was created to solve the inefficiencies of traditional finance, which is burdened by insolvencies, outdated settlement systems, and rising global debt. He described XRP as “the plumbing of the new financial system,” highlighting that it was designed for scalability and to handle institutional-level settlement demands. According to him, this is what sets it apart from other digital assets that serve smaller or more niche functions. The circulating supply of XRP is actually far smaller than most people think once you remove escrow and institutional holdings. Once demand from tokenized debt, gold, and stablecoins hits XRP, circulating supply could collapse overnight. https://t.co/f5Kzuh8IGl — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) September 14, 2025 The Push Toward Tokenization Aljarrah focused on Ripple’s ongoing work to establish RippleNet as the backbone for institutional connectivity. He noted that XRP is the asset providing settlement and liquidity within that system, giving it direct utility in cross-border payments and interoperability between digital and traditional assets. He argued that XRP is not only a tool for moving value but also a foundation for bridging financial systems worldwide, including economies moving toward real-world asset (RWA) tokenization . This role extends to central banks, where Aljarrah linked the Bank for International Settlements’ Basel III framework with the rise of digital assets. While Basel III emphasizes gold reserves, he said the future rests with tokenized assets. In his view, XRP is positioned to serve as the liquidity layer that supports tokenized gold, bonds, and debt, offering central banks a practical way to stabilize and restructure their economies.

With each transaction burning a fraction of the asset, he argued that scarcity will intensify over time, making higher valuations necessary once institutional adoption expands. He pointed to past estimates projecting XRP at $10,000 or more, stressing that such figures stem from its intended utility, not speculation. Aljarrah further noted that XRP is already positioning itself as a “digital reserve currency and settlement mechanism.” He said its role complements XLM in a dual system serving institutions and private use, with Ripple’s growing partnerships reinforcing XRP’s central place in the financial transition.
