Pundit: Don’t Wait for This Official Announcement Before Buying XRP
XLM was sitting at $0.146 before DTCC confirmed Stellar as its first public blockchain partner. Within a few days, the price hit nearly $0.30. Investors who waited for confirmation missed the bulk of the move.
Crypto analyst X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) is pointing to XRP as the next asset in that position, and the infrastructure numbers he cites are hard to dismiss.
The Infrastructure Is Already There
The case for XRP does not rest on speculation alone. Ripple is already confirmed for DTCC’s 50-firm working group. Mastercard and JPMorgan have already settled tokenized Treasuries on the XRP Ledger, and a $13 trillion treasury platform is actively processing on the network.
$4 billion in tokenized assets are already deployed on XRPL, and seven ETFs are accumulating a combined $1.41 billion in XRP. That puts the XRP Ledger’s current infrastructure ahead of where Stellar stood before its DTCC announcement moved the price.
🚨Are you really going to wait for the official announcement before buying $XRP?
You saw what happened with $XLM.
DTCC confirmed Stellar as its first public blockchain. The price moved immediately.
No second chances. No dip to buy. The announcement was the catalyst and by…

The Catalyst Has Not Arrived Yet
X Finance Bull identifies three potential triggers. DTCC could confirm XRP Ledger for tokenized securities. The CLARITY Act could get signed into law. Ripple’s Federal Reserve Master Account application could receive approval. Any one of these events could serve as the headline moment that reprices XRP in real time.
His argument is straightforward: markets do not wait. By the time a major institutional announcement is made public, positioned capital has already moved. The XLM move confirmed that, as the price responded the moment the news hit, with no meaningful dip, offering a second entry point.
A New Financial Era, Not a Normal Cycle
X Finance Bull’s broader argument goes beyond XRP’s price. In the video, he states that “we are entering a complete new financial era,” citing AI, automation, digital identity, tokenized assets, and machine-to-machine payments as the forces reshaping global finance.
His position is that legacy banking infrastructure cannot operate at the speed this new system demands, and that XRP was built specifically for that environment. He believes that XRP cannot be stopped from becoming the world’s bridge currency if it does what it’s meant to.
What Comes Next?
No confirmed date exists for any of the three catalysts X Finance Bull identifies. What does exist is a documented trail of institutional activity on the XRP Ledger that continues to grow. Investors watching the XLM move play out now have a direct comparison to weigh.
The infrastructure behind XRP’s potential catalyst is live, but the announcement is not. The gap between the two is where X Finance Bull says the opportunity currently lies.
