Willie Sees XRP as Neutral Bridge Asset for Cross-Border Payments

Macro expert Dr. Jim Willie has put forward an intriguing theory linking XRP to global reserve currency status, big bank adoption, and the IMF's Special Drawing Rights basket.

According to Willie, XRP could eventually join the IMF's SDR basket, which currently consists of the dollar, euro, yen, Swiss franc, pound, and yuan. He claims that XRP 'had its origins under the BlackRock roof,' although he does not provide any documentation for this claim.

Willie also suggests that major banks such as BlackRock, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs are holding large amounts of XRP, estimated to be in the billions. He attributes this speculation to non-disclosure agreements that he expects will soon expire.
