A new theory, proposed by AI expert Vincent Van Code using ChatGPT, suggests that the US government could buy XRP at a fixed price of $10,000 per token using Treasury Bills. If true, this move could reset the entire financial system as we know it. But how exactly would this work? Could XRP really replace the US dollar? And why would the government make such a bold move?
The idea may sound far-fetched, but history has shown that big financial shifts often start as radical theories.
Let’s break it down.
According to the theory, the US government could negotiate directly with Ripple to purchase XRP held in escrow at a fixed price of $10,000 per token. In return, they would issue Treasury Bills—government-backed IOUs—to Ripple. Ripple could then hold these T-Bills, use them as collateral, or sell them for liquidity.
Ripple has locked up billions of XRP in escrow accounts on the XRP Ledger to control its supply and release into the market. These escrowed funds are gradually unlocked over time, ensuring a controlled distribution of XRP.
If the US were to buy XRP at this fixed price, it could set a new market standard. Other governments and financial institutions might have to follow, especially if major entities like the IMF, BIS, or Federal Reserve back the move.
The theory suggests three key reasons:
However, this would require support from institutions like the IMF and Federal Reserve. Nations that refuse to adopt XRP could face economic instability.
If XRP were suddenly priced at $10,000, current holders would become instant millionaires. However, governments could introduce regulations on private XRP ownership or force conversions into digital currencies. Meanwhile, banks and corporations would likely rush to acquire XRP before it becomes fully controlled.
As of now, XRP is trading at $2.64, with a 329.2% increase over the past year. In just the last 24 hours, XRP surged by 16.3%, reflecting strong market interest.
A $10,000 XRP may sound far-fetched today, but so did Bitcoin at $100,000 not long ago.
