<a href="https://captainaltcoin.com/why-ripple-xrp-price-hitting-1000-is-not-as-unrealistic-as-it-sounds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">A fresh discussion in the XRP community is stirring debate.</a> In a podcast highlighted by TheCryptoBasic, Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, said he thinks an XRP supply shock is only a matter of time.&nbsp;
He urged everyday investors not to sell too soon, suggesting that some of the biggest financial firms might already be building quiet positions.
Aljarrah believes that major players like JPMorgan and BlackRock could be accumulating <a href="https://captainaltcoin.com/ripple-xrp-price-prediction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> while retail traders get shaken out. He admitted there’s no hard proof, but says speculation is part of staying ahead in crypto.
His co-host David added an interesting detail. He pointed to Robert Mitchnick, now head of BlackRock’s blockchain department, who previously worked at Ripple.&nbsp;
For them, that connection hints at deeper plans. They even think the spotlight on Bitcoin and Ethereum might be a way to keep attention off XRP until the time is right.

David also brought up JPMorgan’s history with market manipulation, noting that the bank paid a $920 million fine in 2020 for misconduct in the precious metals market.&nbsp;
He suggested <a href="https://captainaltcoin.com/will-xrp-price-repeat-history-why-a-decade-old-pattern-signals-a-22-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">similar tactics might be used in crypto to keep XRP’s price low so big investors </a>can buy more.
He explained that market sentiment can easily be shaped, which can confuse retail traders. His advice to XRP holders is simple: focus on fundamentals and truly “know what you hold” instead of reacting to short-term swings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="xrp-quiet-moves-and-long-term-plans">XRP Quiet Moves and Long-Term Plans</h2>
Aljarrah shared a chat with a JPMorgan branch manager who said the bank plans to allow borrowing and lending with digital assets as collateral.&nbsp;
The report mentioned Bitcoin and Ethereum but left out XRP. To Aljarrah, that silence means something, suggesting bigger plans might be unfolding out of sight.
He also pointed to Ripple’s partnership with Japan’s SBI and reports that SBI could use Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin in 2026. For him, this shows XRP’s role in global payments keeps growing.
While these claims remain speculative,<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> both Aljarrah and David believe XRP could become a </a>backbone of the new digital economy. They warn that by the time mainstream headlines confirm institutional involvement, it may be too late for late buyers to catch up.
