The XRP Ledger enforces rules to prevent an increase in the 100 billion XRP supply set in 2012.
XRPUSD consolidates at 2.10500; a breakout above 2.21450 could trigger a bullish move.
Ripple
David Schwartz, Ripple's chief technology officer, has
dismissed claims that new XRP tokens can be created on the XRP Ledger. His
statement comes after renewed debate over the token supply.
Meanwhile, the XRPUSD H1 chart reveals that the price is
currently hovering around a key support level. A potential strong bullish
reversal pattern could generate momentum and drive the price higher.
XRP Ledger Blocks New Token Creation
The discussion resurfaced when Pierre Rochard, a Bitcoin
advocate, suggested that Ripple could mint additional XRP beyond the fixed 100
billion supply. This led to a heated exchange among community members.
Schwartz responded by stating that no code within the XRP
Ledger allows new XRP creation. He explained that the system enforces strict
rules to prevent such an action. The ledger’s invariant checker continuously
monitors transactions and blocks any attempt to generate new tokens.
An XRPL dUNL validator, known as Vet, supported Schwartz’s
position. He stated that the network’s developers designed the system to
prevent any increase in the original supply created in 2012. He also emphasized
that no exploit could bypass the ledger’s safeguards.
Schwartz Dismisses Concerns over XRP Circulation
Schwartz also addressed concerns about XRP circulation. Some
community members speculated that past changes to the ledger’s structure could
have left certain tokens unaccounted for. However, he stated that there was no
evidence of more than 100 billion XRP existing in the system.
Mayukha Vadari, a senior software engineer at RippleX, added
that the ledger’s design ensures that all account balances are verified. Any
attempt to exceed the recorded amount would be rejected by validators.

XRPUSD Consolidates at Key Support Level
The XRPUSD H1 chart indicates that the price has bounced
several times at 2.10500. As of now, the price remains in consolidation around
this level. A bullish reversal pattern, followed by a breach at 2.21450, could
attract intraday buyers and drive the price higher. The H1 chart also provides
sufficient space for price movement, potentially leading to strong bullish
momentum in the event of a breakout.
Conversely, if the price breaks below 2.10500, sellers may
look to enter short positions upon confirmation of a breakout followed by a
bearish reversal signal.
Ripple’s Strategy for Growth: Legal Disputes,
Institutional Partnerships, and Cross-Border Payments
Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, recently
discussed the inclusion of cryptocurrencies in US strategic reserves. This
followed an executive order by President Donald Trump, listing Bitcoin and
altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. In an interview with Fox
Business, Saylor
addressed regulatory concerns for digital assets and referred to XRP as a token,
suggesting its issuance should occur under a regulatory framework.
Ripple gained attention when CEO Garlinghouse and Chief
Legal Officer Alderoty attended a
private dinner with President-elect Donald Trump on January 6, sparking
speculation about the ongoing legal case with the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The SEC filed a lawsuit in December 2020, alleging Ripple
sold XRP tokens as unregistered securities.
South Korea's institutional crypto storage firm BDACS
will use Ripple Custody to secure XRP and RLUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin
issued by Ripple. This partnership targets institutional clients seeking secure
storage for digital assets.
Investor activity in XRP remains strong, with whales
acquiring 520 million tokens during a recent price dip, showing continued
interest. The SEC’s reassignment of Jorge Tenreiro, who oversaw Ripple’s case,
has raised questions about the agency’s future approach to crypto litigation.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
