An expert claims that the chances to buy XRP will disappear when Ripple reveals what they are hiding about XRP.
Edoardo Farina, an XRP advocate and founder of Alpha Lions Academy, issued a stark warning to the crypto community regarding XRP.
In a recent post, Farina stated that once Ripple finally reveals what it has been hiding about the XRP in custody, that moment will mark the deadline. According to him, once this information becomes public, the opportunity to buy XRP at current levels will disappear forever.
This statement suggests that investors are facing their last chance to buy XRP "cheaply," in the $2 range. In a hypothetical scenario where Ripple reveals a new plan for the tokens in custody, it could trigger a wave of FOMO (fear of missing out), driving up the price of XRP.
Farina's warning adds to his ongoing campaign that Ripple is preparing to reveal a groundbreaking truth about the massive amount of XRP it holds in custody. He believes this revelation will mark the beginning of a new era of institutional dominance.
Ripple currently holds over 37 billion XRP in custody, governed by a pre-programmed monthly release schedule integrated into the XRP Ledger. This mechanism ensures transparency and prevents market saturation.
However, Farina has long argued that the public only knows part of the story. He believes that the true nature of the custodial agreements is obscured by confidentiality agreements and strategic financial positioning. In particular, he has speculated about the involvement of institutions like the U.S. Treasury and the IMF.
Farina's theories suggest that Ripple may have already signed private agreements to transfer or cede rights over portions of the XRP in custody to government or international financial institutions.
While on-chain data confirms Ripple's formal control over the custodial deposit, Farina argues that blockchain transparency does not account for legal or contractual agreements made off-chain. He contends that something significant is being deliberately hidden. And once Ripple reveals it, it will be too late for retail investors to act, he claims.
Despite the lack of verifiable evidence, the theory has gained traction as Ripple seeks greater integration into the U.S. financial system.
Farina's warning comes after Ripple's confirmed efforts to obtain a national bank charter in the United States and access a master account with the Federal Reserve. XRP advocates see these measures as signs that the company is aligning itself with traditional financial institutions and central authorities.
For believers like Farina, these advancements suggest that Ripple is preparing to repurpose the deposited XRP as collateral for monetary infrastructure, such as backing for stablecoins, liquidity reserves, or even as a component of national cryptocurrency reserves. Still, this remains speculative.
Farina insists that once Ripple reveals the full story behind the custodial deposit, the opportunity to buy XRP at current levels will vanish. In his view, any announcement confirming institutional or sovereign involvement in XRP will provoke a drastic change in its valuation.
Critics remain skeptical, citing the speculative nature of the claims and the lack of concrete evidence. Nevertheless, the moment Ripple has taken regulatory measures continues to fuel the debate in the crypto community.
