Grok Estimates How Much Trillions XRP Could Process Yearly If It Handles 14% of SWIFT’s Volume
A recent statement by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has reignited discussions around the potential utility of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in the global payments ecosystem. Speaking at the XRPL Apex event, Garlinghouse offered a forecast that, within the next five years, XRPL could facilitate as much as 14% of the total transaction volume currently processed by SWIFT, the widely used global interbank messaging system. Garlinghouse emphasized that the real challenge in cross-border payments lies in liquidity, not messaging. He pointed out that while SWIFT remains essential for moving information between financial institutions, its primary function is ultimately to support the transfer of actual monetary value. He argued that blockchain platforms like XRPL are better positioned to streamline this function through native liquidity and real-time settlement capabilities. Quantifying the 14% Projection Following the CEO’s statement, a user on X known as “XRPMillionaire” used xAI’s Grok to break down the implications. Based on SWIFT’s estimated $150 trillion in annual transaction volume, 14% would represent $21 trillion processed by XRPL each year. This would amount to roughly $58 billion in daily transactions. If this market share were to be achieved gradually over five years, it would imply a steady increase of 2.8% annually, or approximately $4.2 trillion processed per year. Market Reactions and Price Estimates These projections have led to renewed optimism within the XRP community, especially regarding the potential for long-term value appreciation. Despite XRP trading at around $2.13 and still sitting below its all-time high set several years ago, many investors and analysts now see room for significant price increases if such utility materializes. Several valuation models have emerged in response to this outlook. One analysis projects a potential XRP price of $12 if liquidity demand rises in proportion to transaction volume. This estimate assumes the token would be used and recycled approximately 30 times per year, necessitating a liquidity base of around $700 billion to support the full $21 trillion annual volume. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 Other forecasts, which account for increasing institutional interest and the speculative nature of the crypto market, suggest that XRP could trade between $18 and $24 under favorable market conditions. However, some observers have called for a broader examination of the competitive landscape. If XRP were to capture 14% of SWIFT’s total volume, the question remains: which platforms or technologies will handle the remaining 86%? Projects such as Chainlink have already begun working directly with SWIFT, positioning themselves as potential players in the evolving financial infrastructure. While XRP’s capacity to handle trillions in annual payments remains speculative, Garlinghouse’s remarks and the subsequent analysis have provided concrete figures for what such a scenario might entail. The discussion now turns to whether XRP can effectively scale to meet these expectations and how it will compete in a landscape that is becoming increasingly crowded with blockchain-based solutions.

MetaMask may have a token launch in the future
For ages now, members of the crypto community, especially those who got involved during the earlier days when MetaMask was by far the only viable wallet to access Ethereum services, have been expecting an airdrop from the company. Many have given up and moved on; some have even stopped using MetaMask on account of its many issues. Without any airdrop commitments, there was simply little incentive to keep using the platform. However, there is now a glimmer of hope because Joseph Lubin, the founder of Metamask’s parent company Consensys , has hinted at a possible token launch in the future for its web3 protocols, and many hope its wallet service will be one of them. Lubin’s comments renew community hopes Sharplink Gaming (SBET), famously introduced as the Microstrategy of $ETH, tanked 75% overnight after a few crypto news sites and KOLs shared an SEC filing and claimed the whole cap table sold 100% of their shares. This had investors spooked and resulted in the stock falling by about 75% in after-hours trading. Apparently, these people did not really dump their shares as the sites suggested, and Lubin was one of those who clarified the situation. Lubin also engaged a thread from another user breaking down how users could take advantage of the fall. That was when someone charged Lubin to tokenize $SBET so it could be available for purchase on-chain. In his response, Lubin sounded positive and hinted at the potential of $SBET and many more protocols getting tokenized. It was under that response that one user took the opportunity to ask about MetaMask getting an airdrop. “You’re probably so tired of this question, but will there every be a meta mask token?” The user asked. “Not a governance token, even a meme token would do. I can understand the difficulty of making it fair. Wallet age and consistency of use would be a great metric for an airdrop.” We have a short and medium term plan/strategy. It involves protocolization of our current products and other initiatives. And Web3 protocols need tokens. First out of the gate will be LINEA. Soon. More to come on this. And they will all be synergistic with one another. — Joseph Lubin (@ethereumJoseph) June 14, 2025 In response, Lubin pointed out that there is a “short and medium term plan/strategy” in place that “involves protocolization of our current products and other initiatives.” “And Web3 protocols need tokens,” he wrote before adding that the “first out of the gate” will be LINEA and that the tokens will all be “synergistic with one another.” Lubin on the next protocol to get a token after LINEA After Lubin revealed LINEA as the first protocol to get a token, some users started speculating on the next protocol to get a similar treatment. One user suggested it would be Infura, but Lubin chipped in to say the answer to the question is most likely the Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN). “DIN will probably be the next one. But don’t hold me to that,” he wrote. DIN will probably be the next one, but don't hold me to that. DIN is the Decentralized Infrastructure Network, an expansion of Infura. DIN is dial tone for the decentralized protocol ecosystem.

DIN will enable this community ownership of the deep infrastructure,” Lubin share d . Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings? Learn how DeFi can help you build steady passive income.

BOJ is considering slowing the pace of cuts in its government bond purchases
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) is considering slowing the pace of cuts in its government bond (JGB) purchases from April 2026. This comes due to the growing concerns over a rise in yields on superlong bonds. Since last summer, the central bank has slowed down the buying of Japanese government bonds by 400 billion yen ($2.8 billion) every three months. This was meant to counteract the effects of quantitative tightening. However, because of the bond market’s volatility, the BOJ’s policy board is planning to discuss slowing down the process by half to 200 billion yen per quarter. The yield on 30-year bonds hit a record high of 3.2% last month. This was due to a buyers’ strike that is still going on among local life insurers. But even though they have since dropped to about 2.9%, many experts still see the BoJ in a tough spot because it has been slowing down its long-term bond-buying program. The board will meet on Monday and Tuesday, and most members are expected to back the tapering slowdown. Meanwhile, the current plan for buying JGB will stay in place until March of next year. The bank is expected to hold the policy rate steady at 0.5%. Tapering of bond purchases by the BOJ increases the yields The BOJ began unprecedented quantitative easing in 2013 to pump money into the economy with massive JGB purchases. In September 2016, it added yield curve control to its tools. By buying bonds, long-term rates were kept low. In March 2024, the bank moved toward adjusting its policy. It stopped buying bonds as a policy tool and started buying less each month in August of that year. In July 2024, the amount paid for things was 5.7 trillion yen monthly. Beginning in August 2024, the BOJ cut back on buying JGB. In January 2026, it will drop to 2.9 trillion yen. If the cut is made to 200 billion yen every three months starting in April 2026, the amount bought will be about 2.1 trillion yen every month from January 2027. However, some investors in the market believe that the tapering of bond purchases by the BOJ is contributing to the yield rise. Tapering bond purchases “is now on autopilot, and if there is any hawkish action going forward it is likely to be in policy rate settings,” said Katsuhiko Aiba, Citi Japan economist. Economists at Bank of America said that one of the most important things to watch for is whether the BoJ makes it clear that it plans to do another interim review in 2026 and whether it expresses its view on the appropriate “terminal” purchase amount of JGBs, or the amount it buys some years in the future. According to Goldman Sachs economists , price cuts will happen more slowly over the next year until they reach 2 trillion yen monthly. The BOJ still wants to keep interest rates from going up and keep the market from going crazy by continuing to sell off government bonds. On the other hand, bonds purchased by the BOJ in the past reaching maturity are helping reduce its debt holdings. The BOJ owned about 560 trillion yen of government bonds at the end of December. This was 52% of the total amount of outstanding government debt. Because tapering is going so slowly, the BOJ has received criticism that its “holdings are still too large.” Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings?

Bitcoin May Hit $78,500 If This Critical Support Fails – Details
Bitcoin (BTC) prices crashed by almost 5% in the past 48 hours, with growing global tensions following an Israeli airstrike on Iran on June 12. As financial markets reacted to this news, Bitcoin prices dipped to below $103,000 before experiencing a modest rebound to climb into the $105,000 price band. Notably, top market analyst Ali Martinez has observed that the premier cryptocurrency must maintain a particular support line to avoid a major correction based on the active trading channel. $100,000 Support Key To Bitcoin Bull Challenge In an X post on June 13, Ali Martinez shared a technical analysis of Bitcoin’s price movement. The expert reveals that BTC has stylishly maintained a range-bound movement since 2024 amidst major price surges and extended market corrections. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drops Below $105K as Binance Net Taker Volume Turns Deep Red Over the last six months, Martinez’s analysis shows that Bitcoin has largely traded between $78,500 and $110,000, establishing multiple vital support and resistance levels within this corridor. During this period, the maiden cryptocurrency has famously retested the upper boundary five times while bouncing off the lower boundary four times. Following Bitcoin’s most recent crash and the propensity for higher market volatility, especially with the potential of a full-scale war in the Middle East, Martinez warns it is critical for Bitcoin bulls to maintain a price point above the $100,000 level, which represents the next major support level in the market. The analyst explains that in line with price behavior within a set trading channel, a decisive close below the $100,000 price point strongly increases the chances for a price return to the lower boundary at $78,500. This situation presents a potential 25% price devaluation for current BTC holdings. On the other hand, maintaining price action above $100,000 keeps bullish momentum intact and raises the probability of a retest of the $110,000 resistance zone, perhaps with the hope of a decisive price breakout beyond the trading channel. However, a breakdown below $100,000 would not necessarily trigger an immediate correction to $78,500. Notably, Martinez’s analysis reveals that support levels at $92,000 and $86,000 could provide Bitcoin bulls with ample opportunity to reassert market control. BTC Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $105,194 following a 1.79% decline in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is up by 37.04%, indicating a boost in market transactions and general trading activity. With a market cap of $2.07 trillion, Bitcoin remains the crypto market leader with an impressive 62.75% dominance. Related Reading: Bitcoin Following ABCD Pattern?

Philippe Laffont said Bitcoin is becoming a core portfolio asset as its volatility drops
Philippe Laffont, founder of Coatue Management, told attendees at Coinbase’s State of Crypto Summit in New York City on Thursday that Bitcoin is becoming a serious part of traditional portfolios as its once-wild volatility continues to drop. The hedge fund boss said he believes the asset is moving from speculative territory into something more foundational, with price behavior starting to look closer to legacy markets. Laffont explained that Coatue had initially avoided bitcoin because of how unstable it used to be. But now, the math is changing. “It’s intriguing to me that maybe … the cost of getting into bitcoin is shrinking,” he said. “If the beta shrinks, that would be very interesting.” The term beta is used to compare an asset’s volatility to the broader market. Institutions buy in as behavior of holders changes Laffont pointed out that Bitcoin has climbed almost 13% so far in 2025. That’s not what stood out to him, though. What mattered more was how price movements now feel more controlled than in previous years. In 2022, bitcoin lost more than 60% of its value while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 33%. It was one of those years that kept Coatue on the sidelines. Fast forward to April 2025, after President Donald Trump announced new tariffs, and the picture looked very different. From April 2 to April 10, bitcoin dropped about 5%, while the Nasdaq fell over 6%. That’s the kind of performance that signals a maturing asset. He said this improvement in behavior wasn’t just about price. It’s about the people holding it. Laffont noted that there’s been a sharp decline in the number of bitcoin wallets that sell their entire holdings after just one month. “That’s come down a lot,” he said . Instead of trading in and out, more holders are staying in for the long run. That’s a critical change in market dynamics, especially when it comes to institutional comfort. Another sign of that change? Big names are getting involved. Laffont mentioned BlackRock, saying the firm played a leading role in bringing bitcoin ETFs to the market. That kind of participation wasn’t possible until recently. Now that the biggest asset managers are getting behind it, more institutions are following. Laffont believes this is pushing bitcoin toward becoming a necessary part of portfolios. He said the asset only represents about $2 trillion out of the world’s $500 trillion in total wealth. That’s still a tiny share. But if people keep valuing it, he argued, it “has to become more central.” The growth potential, by his measure, is still huge. Laffont admits missing the early wave and tells others not to overdo it Coatue hasn’t stayed completely out of crypto. Laffont said the firm has investments in both private and public companies in the space, including Dune Analytics, Hut 8, and CoreWeave. CoreWeave, an AI infrastructure firm, works with bitcoin miner Core Scientific. Still, Laffont made it clear he regrets not going deeper into bitcoin itself. “Every night, I wake up at about three in the morning and I go, ‘What an idiot. Why didn’t I invest more in bitcoin?’” he said. He blamed his delay on overthinking. Laffont said he used to focus too much on complex theories and debates about use cases. But the core truth was simple: value grows when people believe in it. “As long as other people think it’s valuable, it gets more valuable over time – and that’s what we missed,” he said. Now, he said he tells investors to consider putting “one or two or 3% or 4%” of their assets into bitcoin as a way to protect themselves from inflation. He also described how his clients fall into three groups. There are the ones who trust him and don’t ask questions. Then there are the ones who confront him with “Why did you miss one of the biggest trends in the world?” And finally, there are the cautious ones who are still uncomfortable with anything crypto-related. “That,” Laffont said, “is the dying population.” He said those people are getting fewer every year. Even as Laffont has warmed up to bitcoin , he still warned people not to make it the center of their portfolios. “For those of you that think bitcoin is going to be important, my recommendation is never make it such a big portion of your portfolio that it becomes the driving factor of the portfolio,” he said. His advice is to keep it small and steady. “You’re going to make way more money by having a smaller position that you can keep for 10 years than the big one that worries you all the time.” Cryptopolitan Academy: Want to grow your money in 2025?
