7th November 2025 > > Predictions and XRP.

tl;dr

Three commentators weigh in with their own predictions, as do the techies. The stablecoin revolution of TradFi payments is likely very positive for XRP.

Market Wrap

Spot BTC and spot ETH ETF flows both turned positive yesterday for the first time in a while, which is an encouraging sign though the panic sellers are unlikely to change their minds anytime soon.

Curious Cryptos’ meme corner – You know it is true

This never happens to unleveraged investors who buy quality cryptos as a long-term investment.

Curious Cryptos’ quote of the week

Samson Mow, the founder of Bitcoin technology infrastructure company Jan3, sounds like me:

“People are fearful because they created their own theory that OGs are selling above $0.1M, and they may sell more. It’s incredible how people are capable of self-owning themselves with fear. Focus on the big picture. Bitcoin is going to add a zero, it’s just a question of when.”

Curious Cryptos’ Commentary – Jim Cramer

Never knowingly right about any of his market predictions, Jim has opened the path to new ATHs any day now:

“(BTC) is now in a bear market.”

Oh, yes, thank you Jim.

Curious Cryptos’ Commentary – Mike McGlone

In the interests of fairness, Bloomberg Analyst Mike McGlone, has a rather different outlook:

BTC at $56k? That really would be a bargain.

Curious Cryptos’ Commentary – Techies

At times of volatility the techies come out in force, furiously making nonsensical scribbles on a graph all of which means precisely nothing. This is a classic of the genre published on Wednesday:

Honestly, these people could be doing something far more productive than encouraging the gullible into losing hard-earned cash.

Curious Cryptos’ Commentary – Ripple and Mastercard

Ripple has announced a collaboration with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini to use RLUSD (Ripple’s own stablecoin) for the settlement of transactions made using a TradFi credit or debit card. Sherri Haymond, Global Head of Digital Commercialization at Mastercard, explains:

“Through our partnerships with Ripple, Gemini, and WebBank, we’re using our global payments network to bring regulated, open-loop stablecoin payments into the financial mainstream.”

The advantages of using crypto stablecoins are obvious – instantaneous settlement at near zero cost. Within a few short years, the whole TradFi world will be using stablecoins to move money around the world. Jason Lloyd, President and CEO of WebBank, knows this to be true:

“Our collaboration with Mastercard, Gemini, and Ripple, allows us to explore how stablecoins like RLUSD can make institutional payments faster and more efficient while maintaining the security and dependability customers expect from banks.”

It is hard to imagine a world in which Ripple Labs Inc. and its coin XRP do no play a leading role in this impending revolution of the payment rails used by TradFi.
