If I told you that XRP's price has long been decided not by the market, but by 'behind-the-scenes players', would you believe it? What you see is $0.5, but what they see may be $4800.


During XRP's years of price fluctuations and legal battles, a theory that has been ignored by the mainstream is quietly spreading: the market price of XRP may not represent its true value, but rather a suppressed, locked, and 'tacitly accepted' facade.


The viewpoint was proposed by a crypto analyst who calls himself 'the Black Swan Capitalist'—Wassan Aljarrah. His perspective sounds unconventional yet is hard to completely refute.



1. 'Is the price predetermined?' The alternative valuation logic of XRP


According to Aljarrah's long-term research, Ripple (XRP) and major global financial institutions have already reached a tacit agreement on XRP's long-term value, while the current market price is merely a 'public performance' aimed at retail investors.


This is akin to the pricing mechanism before a traditional IPO: the actual trading has determined the valuation and direction before retail investors enter the market.


Aljarrah points out:


  • XRP has been selected as a potential international standard asset for cross-border payments and settlements;


  • Banks and government agencies participating in the Ripple ecosystem have provided valuations far exceeding market prices based on its financial infrastructure value;


  • The current market does not reflect its true value, simply because the 'explosive information' has yet to be released to the public.



His bold claim of XRP's 'potential target price'—ranging from three to four digits, or hundreds to thousands of dollars—has caused a stir in the entire crypto community.



2. It’s not without reason: Ripple is gradually 'taking over the mainstream'


Looking back over the past year, Ripple's achievements far exceed those of most projects:


  • Winning the landmark legal dispute with the SEC of the United States, significantly alleviating regulatory uncertainty;


  • Establishing partnerships with international organizations such as the United Nations to promote global cashless payments;


  • Ripple CEO publicly confirms that an IPO plan is under consideration, and market rumors suggest there may be actions before the end of the year.



This means that Ripple is not just a 'chain project'; it is entering the deepest part of the financial system with an institutional-level identity.


As XRP serves as its settlement token, its market role is also being reshaped: evolving from a currency to a **'digital settlement asset'**.



3. So why is the price still so 'cheap' now?


Aljarrah's response is: the asymmetry of information and the patience of financial giants.


The price retail investors see is the exchange's listed orders; what financial giants grasp is the potential blueprint for the global clearing system over the next decade. The information barrier between the two leads to a 'discrepancy' in price.


This also explains why, amidst the continuous release of significant positive news, XRP has yet to experience explosive price movements—because the real market may never have been intended for retail investors.


This is also one of the issues that Mlion.ai's 'Hidden Value Capture System' aims to address:


  • Identifying 'anomalous trading patterns' and 'asymmetric funding structures' through AI;


  • Deeply mining undervalued data points behind token valuations;


  • Providing a 'value reassessment model' that combines macro policies, industry trends, and on-chain behaviors.



4. Can memes + AI see through XRP? Another dimension provided by $MIND


It is worth noting that a meme coin project named Pepe’s MIND ($MIND) is trying to use AI technology to help retail investors capture hidden clues in the 'black box market'.


Unlike other stagnant meme coins, $MIND focuses on 'AI trading strategies + sentiment radar + on-chain signal analysis tools', aiming to create an intelligent asset portfolio that reveals the paths of major players.


Currently, the project has received $8.2 million in funding, with an annualized staking yield as high as 273%, and the team behind it claims to develop tools to 'validate XRP's potential price hypotheses'.


This means that, against the backdrop of information being blocked by financial giants, retail investors' counterattack may come from the combination of meme coins and AI.



5. Can XRP really rise to $4800?


Let us calmly dissect this issue.


  • Based on current circulation estimates, an XRP price of $4800 implies a market cap of over $250 trillion, far exceeding any single asset globally;


  • This does not mean it cannot happen, but it must rely on a fundamental shift in the global payment structure;


  • If in the future the world uses XRP as a standard for cross-border settlements (similar to today's SWIFT system), this goal is not entirely absurd.


The core issue is not whether 'it can rise', but rather 'who will dominate this price release', and whether we can foresee the direction of the storm before the explosion.



Conclusion: The secret of price may have long been written into the data


Is XRP price locked? We do not know. But we know that before each market cycle, funds on the chain have long been repositioned; behind every surge, the major players have already laid out their strategies; each silent market is actually low-frequency vibrating.


And Mlion.ai is precisely the tool that helps you find those real clues that have long been buried in a market distorted by information.


What you see now is XRP's 'stated price'; dare you to dig into its 'shadow valuation'?
