Ripple's XRP Sales Are Not About "Dumping" – But About Building Long-Term Value for the Ecosystem

CryptoinsightUK, a crypto analyst, recently provided a noteworthy counterpoint regarding Ripple—particularly around the long-standing controversy concerning the company’s sale of XRP. According to him, many people only see the surface of the issue and miss the most crucial point in Ripple’s long-term strategy.

Misunderstanding Ripple’s Purpose in Selling XRP The common criticism is that Ripple sells XRP to raise money to acquire traditional companies or real-world assets to generate revenue. CryptoinsightUK believes this view is only partially correct but fundamentally flawed in cause and effect. Ripple does not sell XRP to replace it with traditional assets. Instead, the company uses a portion of XRP as strategic capital to build infrastructure, thereby making XRP increasingly essential and valuable within the global financial system. “If a company holds about 40% of an asset that could potentially be worth more in the future than its entire balance sheet, treating it as cash for regular operations is unreasonable.” – CryptoinsightUK

XRP Is a Core Asset on the Balance Sheet According to this analyst, Ripple does not see XRP as a short-term revenue source that can be arbitrarily sold, but as an asymmetric strategic asset. Selling XRP is not aimed at accumulating stocks or traditional financial assets, but rather reinvesting back into the ecosystem that requires XRP to operate. Ripple’s investments in: Liquidity infrastructureLegal licensesOrganizational relationshipsPayment rails and custodyStablecoins and digital assets … all share a common goal: to increase XRP’s central role.

“Levers” Making XRP Stronger CryptoinsightUK points out that initiatives and partnerships like Hidden Road, stablecoin infrastructure, or bond tokenization solutions are not the end goal but catalysts for XRP. These factors help: Expand liquidity for large organizationsIncrease trust and legal complianceEnhance transaction speed and scaleCreate real-world payment demandStrengthen XRP’s role as a neutral global intermediary asset

In other words, Ripple’s building infrastructure does not replace XRP but makes XRP indispensable. The “XRP Flywheel” Many People Miss CryptoinsightUK describes Ripple’s strategy as a flywheel: XRP always remains at the center, surrounded by layers of payment services, liquidity, custody, stablecoins, and access to treasury. When organizations utilize Ripple’s entire “stack,” XRP becomes the most efficient neutral payment layer. Demand gradually increases over time, and long-term value far exceeds the impact of short-term XRP sales. He emphasizes that this is not dilution but strategic capital allocation to maximize core asset value. Ultimate Goal: Making XRP Unavoidable If Ripple only aimed to be a profitable traditional financial company, this strategy would be unreasonable. But in reality, Ripple is targeting a bigger goal: 👉 Transform XRP into a central payment layer within the global financial infrastructure, with legal recognition and organizational acceptance. According to CryptoinsightUK, this is where most criticisms have misunderstood Ripple. Selling XRP is not “dumping,” but laying the foundation for XRP to become an indispensable asset in the future.
