Over the past 10 days, Ripple whales have amassed over 470 million XRP tokens, signaling confidence in the token’s future.

This comes on the heels of a major announcement from Mastercard’s CEO, who revealed that Ripple’s XRP is positioned to replace Swift in global transactions.

Discussions are already underway to utilize the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for these processes, indicating a major shift in financial infrastructure.

In addition, Ripple is preparing to introduce significant upgrades to the XRP Ledger, which are expected to boost liquidity and appeal to institutional investors.

These improvements could channel hundreds of millions into XRPL-based tokens, especially within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.

Ripple has positioned the XRP Ledger as the future hub for institutional flows and liquidity, suggesting a substantial influx of capital into the ecosystem.

XRP’s CTF Gains Recognition As Top Defi Asset

One of the standout tokens on the XRP Ledger is CTF, which is gaining recognition as the leading DeFi asset on the platform. With the smallest circulating supply of any DeFi token, CTF is poised for massive growth. If CTF captures even 25% of XRP’s market capitalization, its value could skyrocket from the current $0.68 to an astounding $374.25 per token.

Adding to the growing optimism, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently acknowledged that his prediction of a $5 trillion total crypto market cap by year’s end may have been conservative. With the rapid adoption of XRPL and the strong performance of XRP, the future for Ripple and its ecosystem looks brighter than ever, especially as institutional interest continues to grow.
