XRP Price Has Been Set: What Global Institutions Know

In the traditional financial market, when a company is preparing to list, there is a process called the pre-IPO stage. This is the stage before the company's shares are offered to the public. The process works as follows: Large investment organizations such as hedge funds, venture capitalists, and banks will negotiate the stock price of the company before the public can access them. These organizations work with the company to establish the initial stock price, based on detailed financial analysis, projected growth, and utility. The price is not dependent on luck or market forces; the price is agreed upon behind the scenes. This process ensures that when the stock is finally offered to the public, the price will satisfy both the company and the stakeholders ( large financial organizations ), who want to ensure they achieve a profit when the stock hits the market. The price negotiation before this IPO is essential in establishing the foundation for the company's future market value. Do not let the market open decide; the foundation is set through internal agreements and financial models. XRP: A similar process, but on a much larger scale. Now, let's talk about XRP. What I pointed out in 2022 is that XRP is undergoing a similar process—but on a much larger scale. In the case of XRP, the stakeholders are not just retail investors; we are talking about central banks, large financial institutions, and global regulatory bodies like JP Morgan, BlackRock, BIS (Bank for International Settlements) and IMF. Ripple's technology has been integrated into the financial systems of central banks around the world, even in smaller economies like Barbados and some Caribbean nations. This integration means that these financial giants and central banks have committed to using XRP — before its public price was discovered. Essentially, these organizations have negotiated the price for XRP to be used as an intermediary currency in cross-border payments, stablecoin payments, and to allow interaction between blockchains. In this case, the "pre-IPO" phase for XRP has taken place. XRP is being adopted by the largest financial companies in the world behind closed doors, and they have agreed on a price for using this technology in their financial systems. Stakeholder Capitalism and Global Governance This process aligns with what the World Economic Forum (WEF) calls stakeholder capitalism. Within this framework, instead of individual shareholders owning a portion of the company, the largest global financial institutions and central banks act as stakeholders, effectively controlling the direction of the global economy. These stakeholders —central banks and large financial institutions— are driving the value of XRP as they see it as an essential part of the financial system of the future. XRP is strategically positioned as a bridge asset for global liquidity and financial transactions. Its role in connecting various financial ecosystems, stablecoins, and smart contracts makes it essential for cross-border payments and monetary policy management. Before XRP was widely used in the public domain, these global financial institutions had locked in its utility price. This price is not determined by the open market but by agreements made behind the scenes — similar to pre-IPO pricing. So has the price of XRP been set? Yes, as I mentioned in 2022, the price of XRP has been determined. But how can that happen if we still see prices fluctuating in the open market? This is the difference: The price of XRP for use in institutional purposes and financial payments has been established through private negotiations between these major stakeholders. These organizations know exactly how much they are willing to pay for XRP to facilitate cross-border transactions, stablecoin payments, and blockchain interoperability. This price will far exceed what we see in the retail market. On the other hand, the retail price of XRP still depends on the erratic changes of speculation, liquidity constraints, and market manipulation. Although the publicly traded price may sometimes be low, it does not accurately reflect the utility price that these large institutions are willing to pay. What is the price? Although the exact price has not been publicly announced, we can infer that it will be significantly higher than the current market value of XRP. For XRP to serve as a global bridge currency and facilitate financial transactions worth trillions of dollars, its price must be high enough to ensure stability throughout the system. Central banks and major financial institutions will not trade XRP at a price of 50 cents. They need stability and trust in the price when using XRP for large-scale payment transactions. Financial models and market forecasts suggest that the price could reach three to four digits, but this remains purely speculative based on the actual utility and demand for XRP in the global financial system in the future. In summary: Retail price action is not important The important point to note here is that the retail price action is not related to the larger games being played. The value of XRP is determined by global financial institutions that have committed to using it as a bridge currency. By the time the public fully recognizes the important role of XRP in the global financial system, the transition process will have gone smoothly, and the price of XRP will reflect its true utility and demand in these systems, far exceeding the speculation currently dominating the market.
