Markets often move long before the public catches on. Major institutions rarely reveal their plans in advance; instead, they accumulate assets quietly, reshaping supply dynamics while everyday investors focus on short-term price swings. By the time headlines announce “big moves,” the groundwork has already been laid behind the scenes.

This strategy was highlighted in a recent X video shared by Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist. The speaker explained how serious buyers behave when they intend to build significant positions

“When you are very, very serious about accumulating an asset,” he said, “I don’t announce to the world that I am going to buy it. I buy and then announce. And so that’s key. That’s the difference. And a lot of people [are] missing, there is a strong chance that that’s what’s happening here.”

Aljarrah’s remarks point directly to the growing institutional interest in both gold and XRP.

Gold: Central Banks Lead the Quiet March

Global data support this observation. Central banks have been net buyers of gold for several years, and 2025 is on track to be another record period for official purchases. Exchange-traded funds backed by bullion are also experiencing steady inflows, helping push prices to multi-year highs

These moves show that large financial players are gradually increasing their gold holdings as a hedge against currency fluctuations and geopolitical risks—without openly revealing each move.

XRP: Expanding Institutional Footprint

The digital-asset market is showing a similar trend. On-chain analytics reveal concentrated “whale” buying and a rising presence of institutional wallets throughout 2025. Combined with fresh regulatory clarity that has reduced legal uncertainty, these signals point to strategic accumulation by sophisticated investors

While public debates about XRP’s price targets remain noisy, the quiet build-up of large holdings suggests that bigger players are positioning for the long term.

Shared Institutional Logic

Gold and XRP may seem very different, yet both offer qualities institutions prize: liquidity, neutrality, and global accessibility. The speaker captures the patient, stealthy approach behind these moves. “I buy and then announce,” he emphasized, summarizing the mindset of large investors who prefer action over publicity.

For market watchers, the takeaway is clear. The next surge in gold and XRP might not be caused by breaking news but by a gradual tightening of supply already set in motion by institutions operating far from the spotlight.
