XRP supply was almost broken by a 10-year-old bug that went unnoticed for ten years. WOW.

According to analyst AliCharts, whales have accumulated approximately 15,000 BTC over the past 72 hours, as Bitcoin recently underwent a correction. Large investors also increased their holdings by more than 166,000 ETH and 45 million XRP during the same period, indicating a buy-the-dip strategy.

$XRP is trading near $1.39, but macro analyst Jim Willie believes a coming bond market crisis could turn it into a global settlement asset. His prediction? An eventual price between $5,000 and $12,000, although there's no evidence supporting those targets. Here's what he's betting on: - a crisis in US Treasury markets could push countries to look for alternative ways to settle international trade - XRP could become a bridge asset for global payments, replacing traditional settlement methods - Willie claims major financial institutions already agreed on a $5,000 XRP price, but there's no proof of such an agreement - At $5,000, XRP's circulating market cap would reach roughly $315 trillion, while $BTC and the broader crypto market remain sensitive to macroeconomic conditions So the idea sounds massive, but the numbers raise serious questions. XRP could see greater adoption in global finance, yet a $5,000 target remains highly speculative and unproven.
