Ripple's former insider William Sculley believes that the next wave of institutional cryptocurrency investment will target yield rather than price, employing delta-neutral strategies commonly used by large hedge funds. He points out that in a cryptocurrency market worth $2 trillion, less than 5% of funds are deployed in pursuit of yield, presenting a massive investment opportunity. Sculley proposes a "financial-grade DeFi" framework aimed at bringing institutional-grade yield strategies on-chain, and positioning XRP as a core collateral for products such as basis trading, which could potentially drive large-scale capital deployment regardless of market direction.
