All Things XRP

1. The Setup: Trump’s Tariff Tsunami. In early 2025, Trump returns—and he’s coming for imports. 🔨 10% on all imports 🚘 25% on cars 🇲🇽🇨🇦 50% on Mexico/Canada 🐉 54%+ on China The public story? Saving U.S. jobs. The private strategy? Economic pressure campaign. Because behind closed doors, Trump’s team offers a deal: Drop your tariffs—if you trade in USD.

2. The Real Objective: Lock the World into USD. This isn’t just trade strategy—it’s monetary warfare. The real win? Reinforcing the U.S. dollar’s role as the global reserve. 🇺🇸 The USD is already 60% of global reserves. China’s yuan? Just 4%. Trump’s move could push the USD to 70–75%. By making USD the default for all trade deals with the U.S., countries become dependent—again. And here’s where it gets even more interesting…

3. Enter RLUSD: The Digitized Dollar. Late 2024: Ripple, with quiet U.S. blessing, launches RLUSD, a USD-pegged stablecoin built on the XRP Ledger. It’s not a central bank digital currency (CBDC). It’s private, fast, and regulatory-lite—a modern weapon for USD dominance. And here’s the kicker: Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, isn’t just involved—he’s leading the charge. He recently stated: “We are going to put a lot of thought into the stablecoin regime, and as President Trump has directed, we are going to keep the US [dollar] the dominant reserve currency in the world, and we will use stablecoins to do that.” This isn’t theory anymore. It’s doctrine. RLUSD becomes the execution vehicle—wrapped in Ripple’s tech, powered by XRP. Why RLUSD? 🔹 Competes with China’s digital yuan 🔹 Beats slow, expensive SWIFT 🔹 Runs on XRP as the bridge for FX conversions Now trade flows instantly—CAD to USD, pesos to USD, via XRP.

4. How Tariffs Force RLUSD Adoption. Tariffs sting. RLUSD soothes. A Canadian firm needs U.S. parts. Pay a 50% tariff? Or adopt RLUSD and cut it to 5%? Trump’s offer: Use RLUSD, and we cut your pain. Mexico folds. Canada follows. ASEAN nations get in line. Suddenly, 20–30% of global trade starts flowing through RLUSD. And XRP? It’s the invisible engine.

5. XRP: From Utility to Moonshot. With RLUSD flowing, XRP becomes the core infrastructure of global FX. Transaction volumes explode: 2024: $1B/day 2026 projection? $5B/day+ XRP price? If utility drives demand, it may skyrocket. Ripple becomes the U.S.-based financial backbone.

6. Why the U.S. Wins Big. 🇺🇸 Preserve USD dominance 💵 Slash debt costs via cheaper borrowing 🏗️ Modernize trade without Fed interference 📈 Boost a homegrown crypto giant (Ripple) Tariff revenue ($200–300B/year) funds the transition. This isn’t crypto hype. It’s a strategic economic shift, wrapped in tariffs and powered by blockchain.

7. The Risks? Real—but Calculated. Sure, there’s blowback. 🔹 Retaliatory tariffs 🔹 BRICS pushing yuan 🔹 RLUSD adoption hurdles But here’s the kicker: The U.S. market is too big to ignore. Canada sends 90% of its exports to the U.S. Mexico? 80%. Even China can’t afford a 20% export drop. Pain = leverage. Tariffs are the pressure point. RLUSD is the off-ramp.

8. Final Thought: This Isn’t a Conspiracy—It’s Deal-Making. Trump isn’t hiding a crypto play. He’s weaponizing trade policy to reshape global finance. The RLUSD rollout won’t be loud. It’ll happen through trade deals, Treasury backchannels, and quiet Ripple partnerships. And if it works? 👉 The USD stays king. 👉 XRP becomes the rails. 👉 The world trades on America’s terms—digitally.

9. Trump’s Tariff Threat = Crypto Trojan Horse. 💥 Tariffs create pain 💥 USD becomes the condition 💥 RLUSD digitizes the win 💥 XRP powers it all The wild theory? It’s plausible. Keep your eye on trade deals, Ripple’s growth, and a quiet stablecoin that could change everything.

10. One last thing… 👀 If this thread disappears, you know why. Watch Ripple. Watch tariffs. Watch for RLUSD in the next trade agreement leak. Because this might be the biggest financial power play of our generation. Repost if you're watching this unfold in real time. 🔁
