- Ripple apparently wants to buy back such large quantities of XRP that the global payments market will be reorganized.
- By further integrating XRP into institutional finance, Ripple could make its native token the liquidity center for international payments.
Ripple Labs is reportedly planning a major increase in its native token, XRP. According to a report and discussions on the
Ripple Labs plans to raise $1 billion via a SPAC vehicle to purchase XRP. These XRP are then housed in a special digital asset treasury.
A notable crypto researcher has some key insights into Ripple’s recent corporate maneuvers givenwhich in his opinion are anything but random. As we have previously reported, Ripple has made serious and strategic acquisitions including Metaco, Standard Custody & Trust, Rail Financial and Hidden Road. On October 16, Ripple announced its acquisition of GTreasury for $1 billion. The blockchain company also plans to build its own XRP treasury worth $1 billion.
Recently we’ve witnessed Ripple acquiring several companies that they’re integrating with their product offerings.
Add to this that Ripple is applying for a banking license as well as a FED master account and the picture becomes clear.

Ripple’s acquisitions create a bottleneck for the world’s largest TradFi players and could serve as a basis for integrating blockchain-based treasury operations into the banking system.
Another market analyst claimed that Ripple’s potential purchase of billions worth of XRP on the open market could have long-term implications. The purchase will tighten the circulating supply and thus increase the chances of XRP price stability. This will also help ensure institutions have confidence in XRP as the foundation of their global payments ecosystem.
Ripple Bottleneck Theory.
All these acquisitions are creating a "Bottleneck" to the largest TradFi players in the world.
Together this "Bottleneck" opens up Ripple/RLUSD/XRP/XRPLedger to trillions upon trillions of payments,settlement,clearing,custody & DeFi.

Ripple already has billions of XRP, including about 4.7 billion unlocked tokens and about 35-37 billion locked in escrow.
LongPlaysLP emphasizedthat Ripple is implementing its long-term vision: to establish XRP as a neutral liquidity instrument for global banking and payments. This message is not new from the mouth of Brad Garlinghouse.

During the APEX 2025 event he said:
“Ripple’s strategy is not to imitate SWIFT’s messaging protocols, but to transform the way value moves across borders… by addressing the liquidity problem using blockchain and XRP.”
As financial institutions actively seek efficient on-chain solutions, Ripple’s current strategy is designed to establish itself as the backbone of the future financial infrastructure. If confirmed, this could also increase institutional interest in XRP as a stable bridge currency for cross-border payments.
This approach is more about how values move across boundaries. Through its On-Demand Liquidity Network (ODL), Ripple enables banks and payment providers to process transactions in seconds, using XRP as a bridge.
The On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) transaction rate, which uses XRP as a bridge currency for cross-border payments, is defined by the underlying XRP Ledger (XRPL) metrics:
Transactions are processed in just 3 to 5 seconds with an average transaction cost of just a fraction of a US cent (typically around 0.0002 or 0.00001 XRP), which is significantly faster and cheaper than the 2 to 5 days and $25 to $35 fees associated with traditional SWIFT transfers. In terms of capacity, the XRPL can process up to 1,500 transactions per second (TPS).
