XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) could benefit from a broader shift toward blockchain-based finance if mounting U.S. debt costs eventually force the Federal Reserve to ease policy, according to macro strategist Rebecca Walser.
Money Printing To Help XRP?
In a Paul Barron podcast on Sunday, Walser cautioned that higher bond yields and economic uncertainty could pressure risk assets before that transition gathers momentum.
Walser argued that the U.S. financial system has become dependent on central bank liquidity since the 2008 financial crisis.
She believes a future crisis of confidence in the U.S. dollar could push investors and institutions toward more transparent financial infrastructure.
“The blockchain itself is the change,” she said, arguing that blockchain networks could reduce reliance on opaque monetary and banking systems.
That thesis could support XRP if financial institutions increasingly use blockchain technology for payments, settlement and cross-border transfers.
Gold, silver, stablecoins and other blockchain-based assets are likely to attract demand if confidence in fiat currencies weakens.
Ripple’s Strategic Investments
Ripple on Monday announced strategic investments in ZILO and Licuido, expanding its institutional tokenization infrastructure on the XRP Ledger as it looks to bring regulated transfer agency, issuance and collateral mobility capabilities to digital capital markets.
ZILO provides digital transfer agency and fund administration technology, while Licuido operates an FCA-regulated tokenization platform focused on digital asset issuance, distribution and collateral mobility.
Ripple said the additions complement its broader institutional offering using its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD.
