Join Paul Barron and Lewis Jackson for a deep dive into XRP's emerging role as a cornerstone of financial freedom in an increasingly surveilled digital economy.
In this episode, Lewis and Paul explore why XRP ETF approval could be the catalyst that propels the asset to $10 and beyond—if demand materializes. While some debate whether the price is already baked in, the hosts make a compelling case for XRP's potential to outperform once macro pressure aligns with retail and institutional adoption.
But this conversation goes far beyond price speculation. Discover how agentic AI systems are positioning XRP as the settlement layer of choice, and why Ripple's technology offers a genuine alternative to the dystopian programmable CBDCs being rolled out in the UK and beyond. Lewis argues that once people experience true crypto freedom, programmable government money will never gain traction—because capital equals power, and more capital means more freedom.

In this groundbreaking conversation with Eman Mostaque, we explore the inevitable convergence of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence—two revolutionary technologies poised to fundamentally reshape our economic systems. Mostaque makes the provocative case that crypto is essentially "AI money," arguing that within 1000 days, Wall Street as we know it will be replaced by AI-driven financial systems operating on blockchain rails. We dive deep into how AI agents will soon manage our investments with superhuman capabilities, learning our trading habits and executing strategies that outperform human traders. As these autonomous agents emerge, the need for instant, low-cost, cross-border settlement becomes critical—positioning assets like XRP as potential infrastructure for agentic payments. The discussion reveals how attention—not computation—will become the scarcest commodity as AI creation costs approach zero, fundamentally shifting value from production to curation.

In this episode, we dive deep into the recent market turbulence that's shaking up the crypto landscape. Evan Aldo joins us to break down the flash crash that sent shockwaves through the market, the suspicious liquidation events hitting Asian markets hardest, and the major issues plaguing Binance. We explore critical macroeconomic factors including the potential for the longest government shutdown in history and how the Federal Reserve's policies could impact crypto prices moving forward. Plus, we discuss Larry Fink's bold comparison of Bitcoin to gold and whether traditional safe havens like gold and silver can weather a potential 30% correction.

The second half of the episode gets bullish as we analyze XRP's positioning for a potential blow-off top in 2025, with legendary trader Peter Brandt's recent bullish stance adding fuel to the fire.

From the SEC's surprising embrace of crypto innovation to the explosive growth of XRP yields and the emerging Cardano connection, this episode unpacks how traditional finance is rapidly converging with digital assets.

Join Paul Barron in this explosive conversation with Versan & Vandell Aljarrah of Black Swan Capital as they expose what they believe is the largest financial cover-up in history. The brothers make bold claims about Wall Street's alleged manipulation of the crypto market, suggesting that institutions are quietly accumulating while publicly expressing doubts about digital assets. They discuss the suspicious migration of SWIFT executives to Ripple, the correlation between DXY and XRP, and present World Bank documents from 2022 that mention XRP and XLM, suggesting that the "winners" of this cycle may have been predetermined long ago.

Paul Barron sits down with Steven McClurg from Canary Capital to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of cryptocurrency ETFs, with a particular focus on XRP. The conversation opens with questions about market saturation before diving into bullish projections, including McClurg's expectation of $10 billion flowing into an XRP ETF within the first month of launch. The discussion emphasizes how XRP has outperformed Bitcoin futures and explores the significant implications of the SEC and CFTC roundtable—a development McClurg suggests is more consequential than many realize. The pair examines how traditional finance is accelerating its entry into digital assets and why ETF products will need to innovate to remain competitive in this space.

In this explosive episode of XRP Pod, Paul Barron sits down with Zach Rector to discuss the seismic shift happening in cryptocurrency markets as XRP positions itself at the forefront of institutional adoption. The conversation centers on the fast-tracking of XRP ETF approval and its potential to become the "gold standard" of capital markets, with predictions of over 100 crypto ETFs launching by year's end. Rector reveals stunning projections about capital inflows, including XRP becoming the fastest contract to hit $1 billion in open interest and expectations of $10-20 billion flowing into XRP ETFs, with an additional $8-12 trillion potentially unlocking through 401(k) access. 

The second half dives deep into XRP's evolving ecosystem and institutional infrastructure, examining critical partnerships like Swift's collaboration with Linea and the development of XRPL's permissioned DEX. Rector argues that neutral currency settlement is crucial for global markets, positioning RLUSD (Ripple's stablecoin) as a compliance-focused competitor to Tether and USDT, particularly as new platforms from Flare and Axelar introduce DeFi capabilities and yield generation to XRP holders. Rector closes with his 2026 price prediction, painting a picture of an XRP ecosystem transformed by BlackRock's inevitable ETF entry and massive institutional adoption.
