Ripple does not want to be a hero; it wants to be a central bank—its hidden ambition of a $1 billion XRP reserve.
When Ripple announced the establishment of a $1 billion XRP reserve fund, my first reaction was not "market protection," but "central bank-level action." Because the essence of this matter is that Ripple is sending a signal to the market: we want to take control of the currency.
In the past, XRP has been awkward - neither like a stablecoin nor like a "hard currency" such as Bitcoin. Ripple's current reserves aim to change this positioning: to make XRP a new type of asset pool with "elastic issuance + liquidity support."
The logic behind this is actually very advanced: ——Bitcoin relies on consensus for stability, ——Ethereum relies on its ecosystem for stability, ——Ripple relies on reserves for stability.
A $1 billion reserve means that Ripple is no longer just a payment settlement company, but is building an XRP liquidity hub system. It can do three things: 1️⃣ Regulate circulation to avoid extreme market volatility; 2️⃣ Act as an ecological fund to inject capital into developers and partners; 3️⃣ Provide "confidence refinancing" for the XRP market in times of crisis.
This wave of Ripple is not about "playing with coins", it's about "playing with monetary policy". While others shout "decentralization", Ripple quietly opened an "on-chain central bank".
