Crypto markets rarely move on charts alone. They move on expectations, liquidity, and signals from power centers that shape global finance. When those signals come from a sitting U.S. president, the impact can ripple far beyond traditional markets. That is why a recent statement attributed to Donald Trump has captured the attention of XRP holders worldwide and reignited debate about what the next macro phase could mean for digital assets. In a video clip shared on X, market strategist Levi Rietveld of Crypto Crusaders reacted to a post from Trump suggesting that U.S. interest rates should be reduced to 1% or lower next year. Rietveld described the statement as a potential turning point for crypto, arguing that interest rate policy remains one of the most powerful drivers of capital flows into high-risk assets like XRP.

During that time, central banks flooded markets with liquidity through quantitative easing, dramatically increasing the money supply. With yields on traditional assets suppressed, investors sought higher returns elsewhere, fueling a historic bull run across cryptocurrencies. According to Rietveld, that environment allowed assets like Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP to experience explosive growth. He highlighted Solana’s rise of roughly 100x during that cycle, noting that XRP also benefited from the same liquidity-driven momentum. His argument rests on a well-established macro principle: cheap money tends to flow into speculative and growth-oriented assets.

Since then, XRP’s position in the market has materially changed. Ripple’s legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission concluded in August, removing a major regulatory cloud that had constrained adoption and institutional involvement. Beyond legal clarity, XRP’s ecosystem has expanded. Banks, payment providers, and financial institutions are more actively exploring blockchain-based settlement solutions. Exchange-traded products and broader institutional access to crypto have also reshaped the investment landscape. Rietveld argued that these structural improvements mean XRP could respond more aggressively to favorable macro conditions than in previous cycles. Policy Talk Versus Policy Action Despite the excitement, it is critical to separate commentary from confirmed policy. Trump’s statement reflects a political position, not an enacted decision. Interest rates remain under the authority of the Federal Reserve , and future cuts depend on inflation, employment data, and broader economic stability. Markets, however, often move ahead of policy. Even the possibility of sharply lower rates can influence investor behavior, risk appetite, and long-term positioning. For XRP holders, the discussion alone has reopened expectations around liquidity expansion and renewed capital inflows. What XRP Holders Should Take From This Rietveld’s message was not framed as a guaranteed outcome but as a warning to pay attention. If interest rates do fall toward 1%, the combination of abundant liquidity, regulatory clarity, and growing institutional infrastructure could create a powerful setup for XRP. Whether that scenario materializes or not, the episode highlights how closely XRP’s outlook remains tied to macroeconomic policy. For now, Trump’s comments have injected anticipation into the market. In crypto, anticipation can be almost as influential as action itself. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
