Crypto pundit Cryptoinsight has commented on what Ripple haters get wrong about how the company handles its XRP holdings. The pundit also explained why the altcoin is set to explode this year, even as it eyes new all-time highs (ATHs) . What Ripple Haters Get Wrong About XRP In an X post , Cryptoinsight stated that people who hate XRP are so close to being right, but that they miss one key step in their equation. The pundit noted that these haters accuse Ripple of selling their XRP , so they can buy real-world companies and assets, because that is how they make money. However, Cryptoinsight believes these Ripple haters are wrong. He opined that they misunderstand entirely the business model and, more importantly, the direction of causality. The pundit admitted that Ripple may monetize some of their XRP holdings , but that the goal isn’t to replace XRP with traditional assets. Instead, Cryptoinsight declared that Ripple monetizes their XRP holdings to build a financial ecosystem that makes XRP more valuable over time. He further remarked that this distinction matters, as if a company holds roughly 40% of an asset that, at scale, could be worth more than their entire balance sheet, they don’t treat it like operating cash. The pundit further stated that such a company doesn’t just consider selling the most asymmetric asset they own just to stack normal companies. Instead, he believes that they would do the opposite, which he believes Ripple is currently doing. Cryptoinsight explained that Ripple’s model is to leverage traditional assets, infrastructure, licences, liquidity venues, and institutions to increase XRP’s value and necessity . How Ripple’s Acquisitions Will Make XRP Explode Cryptoinsight claimed that Ripple’s acquisitions of firms like Hidden Road, Rail, and GTreasury are not the end goal but instead multipliers. He noted that these firms will help expand institutional liquidity, improve trust and compliance, increase transaction throughput, and create real-world settlement demand. The pundit added that most importantly, it will make XRP’s status as a neutral bridge asset viable at a global scale. Cryptoinsight asserted that these companies are not replacing XRP but rather building the infrastructure that requires the altcoin to function efficiently. He then highlighted a flywheel, which he claimed most people miss. The pundit stated that it all starts with XRP sitting on Ripple’s balance sheet as the strategic core, and that the crypto firm then builds payments , liquidity, custody, stablecoins, and treasury access. Furthermore, institutions then come to Ripple because the payment stack, which involves XRP, is complete. The next part of the flywheel is that XRP becomes the most efficient neutral settlement layer, with demand compounding over time. Cryptoinsight stated that long-term price appreciation outweighs short-term sales. He then described Ripple’s XRP sales as capital deployment rather than dilution. Cryptoinsight stated that if Ripple’s goal were to simply become a profitable TradFi-style company, none of this would make sense. He claimed that the company wouldn’t obsess over a neutral settlement, keep XRP architecturally central, or push for XRP onto regulated institutional rails if that were the case. In line with this, the pundit declared that the endgame is not to sell XRP to buy assets but to use assets to make XRP unavoidable. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.84, down almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
