A Bold XRP Theory from AI Expert Vincent Van Code Suggests the U.S. Government Might Negotiate to Acquire XRP at a Fixed Price of $10,000 per Token

This bold theory from AI expert Vincent Van Code suggests that the U.S. government might negotiate to acquire XRP at a fixed price of $10,000 per token using Treasury Bills.

On 4th March 2025, A.J. Van Belle's article on Blockchained discussed a theory by AI expert Vincent Van Code about a surprising move by the U.S. government. According to the theory, the government could be planning to acquire the cryptocurrency XRP at a fixed price of $10,000 per token using Treasury Bills.

This theory stems from a comment made by Van Code on a post discussing a theory about the U.S. government engaging in a large-scale purchase of Bitcoin. While the theory was met with skepticism due to the price of BTC at the time, which stood at $28,000, and the difficulties the government faced in liquidating such a large sum.

However, Van Code pointed out that the theory was interesting and that it made one wonder what the government would do if it had to acquire a cryptocurrency at a fixed price from an organisation like Ripple. He further suggested that the government could issue Treasury Bills to Ripple in exchange for its escrowed XRP, which would then be used to fund the integration of XRP into the global financial system.

This theory suggests that the U.S. government might be planning to buy 6.3 billion units of XRP from Ripple at a fixed price of $10,000 per token using Treasury Bills. The theory is based on several observations and speculations. Firstly, it is known that Ripple has 15 billion XRP units locked in escrow on the XRP Ledger, and they are being released in a controlled manner.

Moreover, if the U.S. government is planning to establish a new global financial standard, they would need the cooperation of major financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and Federal Reserve.

In addition, the theory suggests that the U.S. government might be forced to take drastic measures to counter financial manipulation tactics employed by China, which could include levying heavy taxes on U.S. citizens.

This theory also considers the possibility of faster transactions facilitated by XRP’s smart contracts and instant global settlements. It suggests that the theory could be realised if there is strong backing from the IMF and the Federal Reserve, and nations that resist adopting XRP will face significant economic consequences.

If XRP were to reach the $10,000 mark, early investors who purchased the token at lower prices would reap substantial gains. For instance, those who invested $1,000 in XRP when it was trading at $0.87 would see their investment increase to $1,150,000.

However, market dynamics could shift dramatically, as evidenced by recent trading activity. A tweet claiming that XRP would soon reclaim its position as the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalisation sparked significant interest, causing its price to rise from $0.87 to $0.92 in just 30 minutes, accompanied by a notable increase in trading volume.
