Financial analyst Levi Rietveld recently sent out a stark warning to XRP holders in a video titled “It’s Over: XRP Holders, You Must Prepare.”


Rietveld argued that the global economy is under severe strain because of the U.S. government’s uncontrolled spending and surging national debt. He described America’s financial management as “reckless” and claimed that fiat currencies are being weakened by endless money printing. According to him, this process eats away at personal savings and wealth, leaving anyone holding U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, or similar fiat currencies vulnerable to long-term losses.


✨ Rising U.S. Debt and Deficits

In just the last 48 days, U.S. debt jumped by more than $1 trillion — nearly $21 billion every day. Since mid-August 2025 alone, debt has risen another $200 billion. Rietveld compared this borrowing spree to historical financial crises, noting that federal spending has reached 44% of GDP annually, levels not seen since WWII or 2008. In July 2025, the government reported a $291 billion deficit, the second-highest for that month in history. If this pace continues, the fiscal year could end with over $2 trillion in deficits, the third-largest ever recorded.


✨ Falling Trust in the Federal Reserve

Rietveld also highlighted the public’s declining faith in the Federal Reserve. Only 37% of Americans say they trust Jerome Powell to handle the economy effectively. With pressure mounting on the Fed to cut interest rates, Rietveld warned that such moves would likely worsen debt problems and push inflation even higher unless spending is drastically reduced.


✨ Why XRP Could Play a Key Role

In contrast to fiat money, Rietveld argued that cryptocurrencies like XRP provide a potential solution. Unlike traditional currencies that lose value over time, XRP offers stability and real-world use cases, particularly in cross-border payments. He pointed to rising business adoption and even the launch of products like Gemini’s XRP credit card as signs of growing mainstream integration.


✨ Market Outlook for XRP

From a technical perspective, he noted that XRP recently bounced off a strong support level — a positive sign for potential upward movement. Its stochastic RSI is currently in a healthy zone for accumulation, suggesting that some investors may view this as a buying opportunity.


Although Rietveld was clear that this is not financial advice, he believes XRP offers a smart hedge against inflation and fiat system risks. In his view, the combination of ballooning U.S. debt, shrinking trust in central banks, and the expanding role of blockchain points to a major financial shift on the horizon — and XRP could be at the center of it.
