š„šØTARIFF THEORY: TRUMPāS HIDDEN CRYPTO MASTERPLAN. What if I told you the tariffs arenāt about jobs⦠Theyāre about crypto dominance. A new financial world order built on the USDādigitized on the XRP Ledger. Letās unpack a theory no oneās ready for. š§µš
1. The Setup: Trumpās Tariff Tsunami. In early 2025, Trump returnsāand heās coming for imports. šØ 10% on all imports š 25% on cars š²š½šØš¦ 50% on Mexico/Canada š 54%+ on China The public story? Saving U.S. jobs. The private strategy? Economic pressure campaign. Because behind closed doors, Trumpās team offers a deal: Drop your tariffsāif you trade in USD.
2. The Real Objective: Lock the World into USD. This isnāt just trade strategyāitās monetary warfare. The real win? Reinforcing the U.S. dollarās role as the global reserve. šŗšø The USD is already 60% of global reserves. Chinaās yuan? Just 4%. Trumpās move could push the USD to 70ā75%. By making USD the default for all trade deals with the U.S., countries become dependentāagain. And hereās where it gets even more interestingā¦
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. Itās not a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Itās private, fast, and regulatory-liteāa modern weapon for USD dominance. And hereās the kicker: Trumpās Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, isnāt just involvedāheās leading the charge. He recently stated: āWe 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.ā This isnāt theory anymore. Itās doctrine. RLUSD becomes the execution vehicleāwrapped in Rippleās tech, powered by XRP. Why RLUSD? š¹ Competes with Chinaās digital yuan š¹ Beats slow, expensive SWIFT š¹ Runs on XRP as the bridge for FX conversions Now trade flows instantlyāCAD 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%? Trumpās offer: Use RLUSD, and we cut your pain. Mexico folds. Canada follows. ASEAN nations get in line. Suddenly, 20ā30% of global trade starts flowing through RLUSD. And XRP? Itās 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. šŗšø Preserve USD dominance šµ Slash debt costs via cheaper borrowing šļø Modernize trade without Fed interference š Boost a homegrown crypto giant (Ripple) Tariff revenue ($200ā300B/year) funds the transition. This isnāt crypto hype. Itās a strategic economic shift, wrapped in tariffs and powered by blockchain.
7. The Risks? Realābut Calculated. Sure, thereās blowback. š¹ Retaliatory tariffs š¹ BRICS pushing yuan š¹ RLUSD adoption hurdles But hereās 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 canāt afford a 20% export drop. Pain = leverage. Tariffs are the pressure point. RLUSD is the off-ramp.
8. Final Thought: This Isnāt a ConspiracyāItās Deal-Making. Trump isnāt hiding a crypto play. Heās weaponizing trade policy to reshape global finance. The RLUSD rollout wonāt be loud. Itāll happen through trade deals, Treasury backchannels, and quiet Ripple partnerships. And if it works? š The USD stays king. š XRP becomes the rails. š The world trades on Americaās termsādigitally.
9. Trumpās Tariff Threat = Crypto Trojan Horse. š„Ā Tariffs create pain š„Ā USD becomes the condition š„Ā RLUSD digitizes the win š„Ā XRP powers it all The wild theory? Itās plausible. Keep your eye on trade deals, Rippleās growth, and a quiet stablecoin that could change everything.
10. One last thing⦠š 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. š
