Put together, Claver describes Ripple as already functioning as a global infrastructure provider for backend payments and settlement. But he argues the endgame is something bigger.
Will $XRP Holders Actually Hold to $10 and Beyond?
Claver was asked directly what percentage of retail $XRP holders would sell before the token reached $10. His estimate was pointed.
“Probably 30 to 50% of people holding a significant amount of $XRP will likely liquidate at least a portion,” he said.
His reasoning reflects the reality of who holds the asset. Globally, approximately 250,000 people hold more than 3,000 $XRP. For many of them, a $10 price would represent a life-changing sum. Taking profits at 5x or 10x is rational behaviour, not weakness.
The holders Claver works with directly understand the longer thesis and are less likely to sell early. He has also built products allowing holders to collateralise their $XRP and generate returns without liquidating, removing the need to choose between holding long-term and accessing liquidity.
Ripple’s trajectory, in Claver’s telling, is not primarily a crypto story. It is an infrastructure story. The company is building the backend that every major financial institution will eventually run on, whether they acknowledge it or not.
The Amazon comparison is not accidental. Amazon built warehouses and logistics before most people understood why. Ripple is building settlement rails, custody infrastructure and liquidity direction before most banks are ready to admit they will need it.
