Long-term strategy behind XRP: From speculative asset to settlement infrastructure

YieldWhisperer · 2026-01-06T17:20:10+00:00

Industry insiders point out that the price performance logic of XRP lies in major institutions viewing it as a fundamental tool for global capital flow rather than short-term speculation. These institutions are working to improve the settlement network, while external litigation disputes may be delaying project progress, reflecting that institutions are more focused on its long-term functionality.

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】Some industry insiders have mentioned that XRP’s price performance is not without logic. Looking behind the scenes, some leading institutions seem to be quietly positioning themselves—they treat XRP as a foundational tool for global capital flow rather than a short-term trading chip. This operational approach has been in progress for some time. The litigation disputes seen externally are actually aligning with this rhythm, delaying some public progress of the project. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the daily trillion-dollar settlement network is continuously being refined and improved. From a different perspective, XRP’s subdued performance may precisely indicate that institutions are playing a long-term game—they are more concerned with whether this system can truly become the infrastructure for cross-border fund transfers rather than price fluctuations.

Ha, I've heard this explanation many times, but who knows if it's true or not. The long-term institutional strategy sounds good, but using lawsuits as a shield... that's a bit too conspiracy theory. XRP hasn't had any surprises in recent years; either it's truly in silent accumulation, or no one is willing to buy in. Cross-border settlement infrastructure sounds great, but with CBDCs coming soon, how long can XRP survive? But on the other hand, if it's really institutions playing chess, how can retail investors bottom fish? That's the real question. Delays in lawsuit progress? I think it's more like just giving the project team more time. Wait, a trillion-dollar settlement network? How many people are actually using XRP?

Haha, institutions go long-term, and I go long-term kneeling, right? It's the same old story. Every time XRP doesn't rise, you start telling stories. Lawsuits are just cooperation, and indifference is also part of the strategy. So let me ask—where's my principal? Alright, I believe it. The reverse indicator is activated. Time to quickly buy the dip.

🤔 Hmm... Litigation is also part of the script? The logic is a bit extreme, but upon reflection, it’s not entirely unreasonable. If big institutions really want to play this game, they wouldn’t care about short-term price fluctuations; in fact, the more indifferent they are, the better for building positions. --- Honestly, this kind of explanation sounds like a story told to retail investors for comfort, but the trillion-level settlement network is indeed a real demand. The question is... who is actually footing the bill? --- Wait, according to this logic, isn’t it too early? Should I be worried or not? --- Long-term planning is long-term planning. I just want to know when this "refinement and perfection" will actually come to fruition... --- Alright, I’ve already been caught in a bad position, so I might as well believe in this behind-the-scenes story. It’s much more comfortable 😅 --- If it’s truly infrastructure-level stuff, the regulators wouldn’t keep blocking lawsuits forever, right? I have a feeling there are other interested parties pulling strings behind the scenes.

Are lawsuits just a show? Just hear this kind of statement and don't really believe it.

The claim that litigation delays are progressing sounds a bit far-fetched; it feels like armchair quarterbacking after the fact.

Oh dear, it's the same old story... Litigation disputes and coordinated timing? You're overthinking it a bit. If institutions are really planning to make long-term moves, why wait until now to take action?

The bear market has been going on for so long, and finally someone has spoken out: institutions don't really care about short-term fluctuations. Wait, is litigation also part of the rhythm? I need to think about this logic again. The bottom range should be like this—only when it's cold enough can it be the real opportunity. Honestly, those who can hold on until now are believers; value reversion is only a matter of time. Falling for so long has actually made me more certain—rebirth must go through darkness. Institutions are really playing the long game; retail investors can only wait patiently. Not getting liquidated this time is a small victory in crossing the cycle.
