Quick overview

  • Sal Gilbertie, CEO of Teucrium ETF, believes XRP's fortunes may change with rising institutional investment and the launch of the Canary XRP ETF on November 13th.
  • He predicts a decade-long transformation in traditional finance, driven by the convergence of regulation, technology, and product innovation.
  • Citibank forecasts that $5 trillion in assets will be tokenized within five years, indicating a significant shift towards mainstream blockchain adoption.
  • The Ripple Swell 2025 conference highlighted the growing credibility of blockchain in finance, with key figures emphasizing the importance of XRP in cross-border payments.

Late November might be the moment when XRP’s fortunes change direction, according to Teucrium ETF’s CEO Sal Gilbertie, who is betting big on rising institutional investment and renewed interest in Ripple’s rapidly expanding ecosystem. Speaking to Ray Fuentes at the 2025 Ripple Swell conference, Gilbertie reckons we’re at the start of a decade-long shift in how traditional finance operates, saying, “This is the start of a decade-defining transformation.”

Interestingly, he’s saying this just before the Canary XRP ETF launches on November 13th, which is expected to draw significant institutional capital and make XRP more mainstream. Gilbertie points out that, with regulation, technology, and product innovation coming together at the same time, it’s setting the stage for solid, long-term adoption of blockchain.

It’s also worth noting that Citibank has predicted that $5 trillion in assets will be tokenised within five years, which is a big deal because it would finally bring blockchain technology into the mainstream of the financial world. Gilbertie says this is a very rare occasion when “infrastructure and opportunity are finally in alignment.”

Ripple Swell 2025 Marks a Turning Point

The Ripple Swell 2025 conference really showed how far blockchain has come in gaining credibility in the global financial system. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, made it clear that XRP is a key part of cross-border payments.

At the same time, the company’s president, Monica Long, said, “Digital finance is moving faster than any prior financial innovation has ever done.”

One notable example was when Nasdaq’s Adena Friedman discussed how blockchain is increasingly integrated into capital markets and that traditional exchanges will work more closely with the crypto sector. Gilbertie told XRP holders to be patient, saying, “Volatility always fades as more and more large-scale investors get in.”

Policy and Innovation Start to Latch On

Regulation is also becoming more friendly to blockchain. We saw for ourselves at Ripple Swell with Patrick Witt, the US digital asset advisor, talking to Garlinghouse, and later at SmartCon with Sergey Nazarov from Chainlink, where he said there is genuine co-operation between governments and the industry. Witt said the policy outlook for blockchain is “looking pretty good” and that there is a real effort to get blockchain and financial modernisation working together.

Now, as November ticks on, the launch of the Canary XRP ETF, the growing number of big money investors getting in, and the strengthening of ties between governments and industry could all combine to shape XRP’s next major upswing – one that might determine which direction it heads in 2026.
