Reports from a recent episode of Good Evening Crypto have shifted attention toward rising interest in XRP among the wealthiest families in the United States. The discussion featured Digital Ascension Group CEO Jake Claver, who described a pattern he believes is unfolding quietly in elite financial circles. According to Claver, multiple family offices with substantial multi-generational wealth are now building meaningful positions in XRP, a trend he argues has been largely overlooked. Claver referenced an account relayed to him by a friend, involving a prominent family connected to a major U.S. food brand that was overheard during a private ride in Orlando discussing the size of their XRP holdings. While the anecdote was secondary in nature, he said it aligns closely with conversations he has held recently with several major family offices that are allocating capital to XRP at a faster pace than the general market realizes. Claver emphasized the contrast between the small size of most existing XRP wallets and the volume of assets controlled by these large private investors. He pointed out that although XRP has roughly 7 million wallets globally, a significant portion of them hold under 100 XRP. He argued that this level of concentration, combined with growing institutional participation , could create conditions for stronger price performance if broader adoption accelerates. Why Billionaires Are Looking at XRP In explaining the motivation behind these secretive allocations, Claver stated that extremely wealthy families are approaching crypto not as short-term speculation. He stressed that these groups have already accumulated their wealth and are focused on safeguarding it. Their interest, he said, is driven by strategies focused on preservation rather than aggressive risk-taking. He reiterated that these investors “aren’t rolling the dice”; instead, they are using digital assets as long-term hedges. Claver also highlighted that only about 38% of global family offices are even considering digital asset exposure at this stage. He believes the remainder are beginning to examine assets such as XRP in response to concerns arising from macroeconomic developments, including the reverse carry trade. As traditional financial institutions increasingly validate the digital asset sector, Claver maintains that large investors will eventually maintain at least some exposure, and he described the current moment as the early stage of that transition.

The funds have seen inflows exceeding $887 million, with total assets reaching more than $906 million as of Wednesday. Despite this rapid accumulation, XRP’s market price has continued to struggle below what many investors describe as a firm resistance level near $2. Nonetheless, analysts appearing on the program suggested that ongoing institutional accumulation could eventually trigger a market separation from broader price trends if demand from ETFs continues to build. Ripple’s Global Positioning Strengthens the Thesis Host Abs expanded on why affluent families may be turning their attention to XRP at this moment. He pointed to Ripple’s established relationships with governments, central banks, and major institutions, describing XRP as one of the few digital assets positioned for large-scale financial integration. Claver added that XRP’s enterprise-grade functionality sets it apart in an evolving global financial system. The host also suggested that the confirmation of interest from major American family lineages signals a possible shift toward early-stage mainstream recognition. In closing, Claver restated a principle he believes applies in the current environment: “You should only have to get rich once.” He argued that many of these families view XRP as one of the strategic components that can support long-term stability.
