Vincent Scott, a well-known voice in the XRP community, urged patience while restating a big claim: he called XRP and the XRP Ledger humanity’s “best chance” to change how money moves around the globe.
His message, shared on X, mixed optimism about Ripple’s corporate moves with a warning that legal clarity must come first.
According to Scott, Ripple’s licensing work, recent acquisitions and new partnerships show the company is lining up for much bigger demand for XRP.
He argued the token’s real value is practical — it can act as gas for transactions or as a bridge currency to move value between different systems.
XRP/XRPL is the best chance we got
We see Ripple the company making all the moves to drive demand and solidify themselves with licensing, acquisitions, and relationships
We know the laws are the goalpost
We understand the concept of it: that XRP is backed by its use to…

Scott believes these changes could cut fraud, increase competition among banks and other payment providers, and speed up settlements.
He also suggested that if countries needed smaller foreign reserves because payments were easier and cheaper, that would shift long-held financial balances.
That kind of shift could face strong pushback. Scott noted a decentralized payment and reserve setup “ruins the existing power structure,” meaning political resistance is likely.
The post prompted a range of reactions from within the XRP crowd. Nenad Stojkovic said Ripple stands out because of its infrastructure and regulatory steps, calling it a rare “serious financial company” in crypto — a view Scott agreed with.
One user, SonOfRichard, argued Ripple’s new product Ripple Prime might lift XRP even without new laws, since it’s already compliant with some rules.
Scott pushed back, replying that real progress still needs clear laws. Other voices were critical; Tommy Raz questioned the company’s top leaders.
He spoke in their favor, saying their actions match the stated mission and that some online comments, especially from Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz, get misunderstood.
I find the #XRP vs ETH debate, and who will outperform fascinating. Certainly Ethereum will fairly soon explode, however, I am coming back to this XRP/ETH chart. Take a look where the bounce occurred and what happened when XRP bounced from that support (twice) in 2017. Also, the… pic.twitter.com/8MlLWi2cjy

Meanwhile, a separate market watcher, CryptoBull, said Ethereum is set to surge soon but predicted XRP would outperform ETH in the near term.
Based on market moves, ETH recovered 9% to over $4,200 on Oct. 27 while XRP climbed 10% to $2.68 in the same stretch. Both later fell from those highs.
ETH remains only up 1.4% from its Oct. 22 lows. XRP, by contrast, has kept a 6% gain and sits above the key $2.5 mark.
According to Scott, no major shift will happen until regulators and lawmakers finish their work. He pointed to comments from Rep. French Hill, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, who said Congress could pass the CLARITY Act by the end of the year if the Senate moves.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
