John Squire of Crypto Media Personality boldly insisted that XRP is not dead despite the recent lack of price movement.
Instead, in his view, the XRP could prepare for a historic gathering. In detail threadSquire outlined why he believes XRP is the most undervalued and misunderstood asset on the market. He says 99% of investors are not ready for what comes.
First, he highlighted that unlike the new hype-driven tokens, XRP has been building global payment infrastructure over the past decade.
Squire claimed that Ripple payments using XRP are active in over 55 countries and work with over 350 financial institutions. Notable names include SBI and Tranglo in Japan.
He emphasizes that this is not about “possibility.” In his view, the foundation has already been set up and the rails are live.
“The facility’s lock will open soon.”
Squire also highlighted that XRP is the only top 10 crypto assets to survive in the face of a multi-year legal battle with the US SEC. The lawsuit began in December 2020 and brought a partial legal victory in July 2023. Meanwhile, the final settlement announcement is scheduled for soon.
Squire believes that full resolution could cause the “sluice gate” of XRP’s institutional adoption, and prices could rise. He says institutional interest is already warming.
Systemic money is warming up
Specifically, Squire argued that XRP is more consistent with traditional funding. He cited the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Upcoming releases of XRP Futures in May 2025.
In particular, similar products from Coinbase It was live last month. CME’s entry into the space confirms institutional grade interest in XRP.
Squire reinforced this point by referring to rumors about a potential XRP trust from BlackRock. He suggests this is not a retail-driven hype, but rather an early sign of Wall Street’s quiet placement.
Tap the 150 trillion dollar market
While many crypto projects are chasing the hype cycle, XRP targets global cross-border payment markets worth more than $150 trillion a year. Ripples project The market could grow to $300 trillion by the end of the decade.
The company’s payment rails operate in countries such as Japan, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. Squire emphasized that this level of adoption represents a real-world use case that is already moving.
He also speculates that major institutions such as Bank of America, American Express and Standard Chartered are already part of Ripple’s network, not just bystanders.
“Price action is intentionally boring.”
Despite widespread criticism, XRP continues to hold more than $2. According to Squire, the XRP’s overwhelming price performance may be intentional. He cited on-chain metrics showing rising volume and cooling RSI. Squire claims that smart money moves quietly and buys when attention is elsewhere.
I hate it as fuel for the next meeting
Squire therefore suggested that hatred could fuel the next gathering. He said widespread termination of XRP could be one of its most powerful indicators.
Market commentators concluded that XRP is combat-tested, institutionally aligned, legally resilient and globally deployed. According to him, the XRP shows all the traits of the sleeping giant.
In summary
The XRP is as follows:
✔§Battle Test
Incandescent and institutionally adjusted
✔️Legally resilient

This is an asymmetric risk with real traction.– John Squire (@thecryptosquire) May 1, 2025
Essentially, in his view, the market is chasing a short-term narrative, but XRP is waiting for the moment and may be quietly loaded in the background. And when it wakes up, as Squire says, “the whole game changes.”
