His comments also pointed to broader XRPL adoption and institutional discussion around digital asset infrastructure as factors supporting <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s outlook.<\/p>\n<p>The comments came during a June 15 <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Rachelwolf00\/status\/2066583326417150347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interview<\/a> with Deep Dive Podcast host Rachel Wolfson. Claver also founded Digital Wealth Partners, manages Syndicately\u2019s SPV investment platform, and works with high and ultra-high net worth families navigating digital asset investments.<\/p>\n<p>Emphasizing his bullishness on <span>XRP<\/span>, he predicted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI think that we could see a Blackrock ETF.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The ETF remark was only one part of his broader <span>XRP<\/span> thesis. Claver tied that view to XRPL adoption, tokenization, and institutional settlement infrastructure. His comments framed <span>XRP<\/span> as a candidate for deeper use in financial markets, not only as an asset that could benefit from a new investment product.<\/p>\n<p>Settlement infrastructure added urgency to the forecast. Claver said the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) and the Depository Trust &amp; Clearing Corporation (DTCC) were preparing initiatives related to real-time settlement for June 28.<\/p>\n<p>The executive argued that wider institutional use of <span>XRP<\/span> could require a significantly higher price before the asset is used in that capacity.<\/p>\n<h2>Prior Blackrock <span>XRP<\/span> ETF Speculation Provides Background for Claver\u2019s Comments<\/h2>\n<p>The remarks follow earlier market discussion involving Blackrock and a potential <span>XRP<\/span> ETF. Nate Geraci, president of Novadius Wealth Management and co-founder of The ETF Institute, previously said he <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/blackrock-will-file-for-spot-xrp-etf-says-expert-as-finish-line-approaches\/\">expected<\/a> Blackrock to file for a spot <span>XRP<\/span> ETF, arguing that the asset manager would eventually expand beyond <span>bitcoin<\/span> and ether products.<\/p>\n<p>That speculation later met a direct <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/blackrock-clarifies-xrp-etf-stance-as-traders-double-down-on-approval-odds\/\">clarification<\/a>. Blackrock said it had no plans to file for an <span>XRP<\/span> ETF at the time, even as traders continued to monitor approval odds and developments across the broader spot <span>crypto<\/span> ETF market.<\/p>\n<p>Claver asserted that if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> is ultimately used for the type of institutional settlement activity he described, its market value may need to rise substantially first. He concluded on June 15:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWithin the next couple of weeks, I think that we may need to see a significantly higher price for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> in order for them to actually start using it in that capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Blackrock, the world\u2019s largest asset manager, currently offers the Ishares <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bitcoin<\/a> Trust (IBIT) and the Ishares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), giving it exposure to the two largest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cryptocurrencies<\/a> through spot ETF products.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/blackrock-xrp-etf-speculation-grows-as-xrp-price-surge-expectations-build\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Renewed Blackrock ETF speculation has strengthened the bullish narrative surrounding XRP.
