Financial educator and wellness mentor Linda Jones suggests that a significantly higher XRP price will help protect global financial stability in the future.
Jones shared this perspective in the latest version of her wealthy and smart podcast. explained Acquisition of Ripple, a securities company Hidden Road, as a “game changer” in global finance.
High XRP values can provide “deep pockets” in future crises
Speaking about the $1.25 billion deal, Jones said that if XRP prices rise significantly, it could provide a “very deep pocket” in the event of systemic financial problems. She noted that these challenges currently lie on the shoulders of taxpayers.
In other words, a higher XRP rating can equip Ripple with financial strength to act as a stabilizing force during the financial crisis. This could reduce the need for government relief.
In particular, Ripple is the largest owner of XRP, with a reserve of 41.64 billion tokens. XRP currently costs $2 per coin, with Ripple holding XRP assets of over $83 billion.
In the hypothetical scenario where XRP rises to $100 per coin, Ripple holdings are worth more than $4.1 trillion, as some communities predict.
Essentially, as Jones suggests, this breast of financial war can help Ripple mitigate the financial crisis without burdening US taxpayers.
This bold proposal comes from the systematic vulnerability of the financial sector, particularly the financial sector, which was exposed by the collapse of Archegos Capital Management in 2021.
Why Hidden Road Acquisitions are Important
During the podcast, Jones explained that the acquisition of hidden roads was more than just a major development in the crypto scene. According to her, it indicates a structural change.
In particular, Ripple’s transition to Prime Brokerage Services will allow the company to offer tokenized securities solutions outside the traditional banking system.
“This will provide prime broker services outside of the banking system.” She said. “It eliminates the bank as a major broker.”
According to Jones, the integration of Hidden Road’s infrastructure with the XRP ledger will allow for an almost trade settlement that has been sucked into end-to-end. In particular, current systems often include delays of several days.
She further emphasized that the new payment system with XRPL could significantly reduce the chances of exploiting fraud and abuse, as seen in the Archegos scandal.
Lessons from Archegos
Referring to the Archegos collapse, Jones reconsidered how transparency, excessive leverage, and lack of adjustments in key brokers led to more than $10 billion in losses across major banks.
She cited Grok’s AI summary. This summed up the event. It highlighted key issues such as delayed margin calls, weak monitoring, and fragmented risk management. For beginners, Archegos defaulted on multiple margin calls from the bank due to lack of liquidity, leading to collapse amid massive losses and excessive leverage positions.
Jones believes Ripple’s acquisition of hidden roads will directly address many of these systematic flaws by introducing a more transparent, blockchain-verified financial infrastructure.
Finally, Jones compared the current financial system to what caused the 2008 financial crisis, claiming that Ripple’s model could provide a more sustainable alternative.
“There’s a better way, and this acquisition paves the way for that.” She said.
