Absolutely suppressed at its current price. So, because of the dynamics that are available in the market, this is what allows them to do it. They can buy over the OTC desk in the dark pools, and that volume doesn't move across the exchanges and therefore doesn't impact price. And they can sell onto the open market to drive the price down. So, I mean, the whole market cap of crypto is three trillion dollars, less than three trillion dollars. It doesn't take a whole lot of money to move markets in crypto. Large institutions manipulate the market all the time. And for better or for worse, right? I think that you guys will think it's for the better when they manipulate it up, but when they're manipulating it down, they're doing so that they can buy at lower prices. So for the ETFs, great. Yeah, they're accumulating more at lower price points. And the more money that flows into the ETF, though the more XRP they can accumulate before it does appreciate, right? So same thing for the DATs. So that's how it works until the OTC desk and dark pools dry up and there's not enough there for them to purchase where there's more demand than what's available, and that the volume has to move to exchanges. We'll continue to see the price being pushed down. But all that being said, I think that they'll flip around when they need to on XRP. They'll drive demand and they'll push the price substantially higher in a very short period of time. At least that's my thesis.

XRP investors, Jake Claver just dropped a truth bomb that the XRP army needs to hear. And during today's episode, we're going to be breaking down how while everybody complains about the XRP bear market. Institutions are aggressively stacking the XRP token through their dark pools behind the scenes. Now they're able to hide billions of dollars worth of transactions by accumulating quietly, draining the supply, and letting retail sell into this bear market frustration. Well, during today's show, we're going to be showing you a video from Jay Claver where he breaks it down perfectly. This isn't a weakness. This is a setup for something massive. And when regulation hits and real utility explodes, that massive hit in demand will flood into the open market. Almost zero sellers left, and XRP will finally experience the supply shock that we've all been waiting for. Dark pools don't just move the price, they will be the catalyst that changes everything. And as this dam is about to break in the background during today's episode, we highlight how dark pools are something that every XRP investor needs to understand. Hello and welcome back to another episode of Good Evening Crypto, your favorite crypto news related channel.

And we're gonna waste no time diving straight into the content we have prepared for today. But I would encourage all of our listeners to stick around until the end of the show so you can have a full understanding of what XRP dark pools are and why every XRP investor needs to be aware of what's happening in the background. But to kick off today's show, I wanted to give you guys a brief update on what happened with Michael Saylor earlier today, as his company officially announced they've sold over $215 million worth of Bitcoin as their quarterly report was released earlier this morning. Now, last month, Michael Saylor's company Strategy sold 32 Bitcoin at the beginning of the month before buying back 3,600 units of Bitcoin later in June. Now, today, he just announced that they sold basically all the Bitcoin they bought last month, but at a loss. And I think this goes to show the problem with Michael Saylor's business model and needing access to liquidity in order to pay out the dividends to investors. So while Michael Saylor always promised he wasn't going to be selling Bitcoin, this is a clear wrench that's been thrown in the vision for the industry. And while Michael Saylor is selling his Bitcoin and actively shaking the confidence in the entire crypto industry, we just got a massive confirmation out of Charles Hoskinson that XRP once again is the adult in the room when it comes to crypto companies. He's talking about how they're in the process of bringing billions of dollars on chain, and Ripple has positioned itself as the company to bring TradFi into the crypto space. But if you're excited about this announcement, smash that like button and leave some of your thoughts underneath the video. Here's Charles Hoskinson telling the world how Ripple has positioned the XRP ledger for success. Here it is.

SPEAKER_01 3:49

So I think that's the fundamental issue. The other thing is there's a bifurcation in the industry right now. The bifurcation is Web 2.5 versus Web3. So Web 2.5 is you got a regulated business, licenses, and some form of corporation, CEO, federation in the real world. Then Web3, you got a crypto product. You put them together, you got Web 2.5. So Tether is an example of that. Circle is an example of that. OUSD is an example of that. Ripple's an example of that. BND is an example of that. Why does everybody get so tippled about XRP? Well, because they're like, well, Brad and the other gang, they just bought a prime broker and they just did this, and we just did, well, that's a centralized company, right? But they know that that company's gonna use the XRP ledger. And so they're gonna kind of create this virtuous cycle here. So the efforts of one actor is kind of driving the value proposition of the thing.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

And that's Web2.5. And this is what the XRP community figured out years ago is that the company Ripple is gonna be responsible for the majority of success on the XRP ledger. And you can see this now with their acquisitions. As we covered in last night's episode, Ripple Prime, a brand new acquisition that just happened in 2025, is now in the process of working with the DTCC to bring $12.5 trillion worth of transactions on chain. And what Charles Hoskinson is saying is that institutions and very smart investors, they are recognizing the opportunity by investing in the XRP token because that is the downstream investment from the company Ripple. As Ripple continues to expand and bring more traditional companies into the blockchain space, it is the XRP ledger that is positioned to benefit and profit off of these narratives. And to me, this is why I believe the XRP ledger stands alone. And it's why I always believed in their leadership team. But let's finish the clip.

SPEAKER_01 5:27

Well, because they're like, well, Brad and the other gang, they just bought a prime broker and they just did this, and we just did, well, that's a centralized company, right? But they know that that company's gonna use the XRP ledger. And so they're gonna kind of create this virtuous cycle here. So the efforts of one actor is kind of driving the value proposition of the thing, and that's Web 2.5. There's nothing wrong with it. I've been fighting it. I mean, I I've thrown in that towel a long time ago, and that's where all the growth is. If you look at CoinMarketCap, XRP, DNB, Circle, Tether, look at where they sit. It's that's where the growth is right now. So Canton is another example of that. It's a it's a club. Uh, and uh they're building that out. OESD is a club. So that's so they build these clubs, and so that's gonna have a lot of growth in the next uh few years, and they're gonna bring billions of people in, but that growth will leak into the Web3 markets if the bridging is right.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

So you just heard it directly from Charles Hotkinson. The reason that the project XRP is set up for success is because the company rippled. Not only do they have over 40 billion units of XRP on their balance sheet, but they're using that profit to go out and acquire companies to create more demand and more utility for the XRP ledger. And if you've been watching this channel for a long time, we've been highlighting the idea that XRP is massively undervalued in this environment that we're in today because almost zero utility and zero transaction volume from these TradFi companies is happening on these public ledgers. But if we get the Clarity Act across the finish line, this will be the flip-of-the-switch moment that brings TradFi into the crypto space. And you don't have to take my word for it. Just listen to what Charles Hoskinson had to say in that very short clip, where he said Ripple has positioned the XRP ledger to be the downstream investment from all of these TradFi companies coming into the crypto space. He also went as far as to say that these companies like Ripple will be responsible for bringing in the next billion crypto users into many of our favorite crypto projects. But let's take this even one step further before we get into the XRP dark pools. Let's say that the DTCC or a major bank is going to transfer $10 billion worth of funds in a single second. If XRP is $10, then they need $1 billion XRP tokens to be pulled from these pools. However, simultaneously, there are going to be payments running in the background, and you cannot instantly find such a massive amount of XRP in the market for a single order to be fulfilled. But if you try to find it, no XRP will be left in the pool and the liquidity will dry up in real time. You could also have a massive slippage in price occur, locking up the system and working against what this technology has created. In other words, the pipeline cannot carry the load. This is exactly why XRP must be higher in price. And quite frankly, according to Charusan, this is inevitable. And that's exactly why the current XRP price is irrelevant to Charusan. I'm waiting for the flip of the switch moment. And until then, I'm holding as much XRP as I can. And if you guys believe this narrative, smash that like button and leave some of your thoughts underneath the video because we're about to start breaking down the XRP dark pools and how this could change everything for the XRP community. And so with that being said, we're about to break down how the perfect setup is being created for the XRP community as dark pools are actively accumulating the XRP token off exchanges, keeping retail investors in the dark. And while we've been in a deep bear market correction over the past 12 months, that has not stopped institutional capital from allocating into the crypto space. And if you're watching some of these ETF inflows, which do happen on public exchanges, you will see Bitcoin and Ethereum have outflows while XRP and Solana have consistent inflows. And that's exactly what Jake Claver is going to break down in this brand new clip. If you're enjoying this content, smash that like button. We're going to watch this video and break it down.

SPEAKER_02 8:59

Here it is. The rise of dark pools in crypto is a double-edged sword. In the short term, it can hide bullish momentum, suppressing price action, but over the long term, it creates the perfect setup. Invisible accumulation, shrinking supply, and then the damn breaks. And then we have an explosive move to the upside that few people are prepared for. So let's talk about that in today's video and dispel all the myths about dark pools. You might be watching the markets right now thinking, well, why isn't crypto exploding? Even with massive news and adoption, the prices feel stuck. Well, today I'm going to show you why dark pools are the invisible hand suppressing prices right now, and why when it breaks, it's going to trigger one of the biggest explosions we've ever seen. So, what is a dark pool? Imagine you're buying $500 million worth of XRP and you don't want the market to front run you. That's where dark pools come in. Dark pools are private venues where large orders are executed off of a public exchange. It's used by institutions to avoid moving the market and causing FOMO. It's basically invisible buying. Trades are disclosed after they're completed, not during. The smart money doesn't make noise. Okay. They accumulate silently. They talk their book. And right now they're using dark pools to do it. Institutions are entering crypto at scale, but they need the privacy and efficiency of these dark pools to do it the way that they want to. Dark and X, S Fox, and Kraken have all started offering these services to institutional clients. And then we also have some other interesting things like REN protocol, which are providing decentralized versions of these dark pools, which are emerging right now. And these are the players that are coming in. We've got hedge funds, family offices, and even nation states that want to accumulate quietly without moving the price and causing a bunch of people to run in after them. And they want to continue to accumulate at these prices before things actually get kicked off here for utility. Public exchanges aren't going to show you what's going on. In the public market, large buys are visible and they drive the price up substantially. In dark pools, the buying pressure is hit. Prices stay flat, which is what exactly what we're seeing in the market right now. Retail investors don't see the excitement, and there's no FOMO that kicks in, and a bunch of other buying volume come in from other people, retail and institutions included. So XRP could be suppressed significantly right now while they're accumulating heavily on the back end. But the price action looks dead. So retail is going to get upset. There's going to be people that sell. These are the periods in crypto where people, even with high conviction, lose hope and move on to the next thing. But if you can hold on, I think you're going to be surprised by what happens next. There's a lot of stigma and like stuff out there in the market right now where people are upset about dark pools, but I'm going to explain why they're actually going to be really beneficial for the people that can hang out and enjoy the upside.

SPEAKER_00 11:44

Before Jake even explains this, I do want to highlight, guys, we are in the midst of a bear market. Retail sentiment is at an all-time low, but you're looking at the institutional capital behind the scenes and they are actively allocating into the crypto space. Whether that means working with blockchain companies, developing many of their own products, or just actively lobbying for crypto regulation to get passed, this goes to show that the largest companies in America, they are ready to move into crypto. But let's listen to Jake explain why this will have a positive impact on the back end. Here it is.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

So when they flip the switch, it's going to be a vertical liftoff. And those waiting will be priced out almost instantly. Okay. These institutions are silently accumulating. And what that does is it drains liquidity from public exchanges. At some point, demand on the exchanges will exceed the supply and the market will scramble to reprice itself. There'll be a supply shock. It'll be a sudden two, three, five X move to the upside. No sellers means that price will have to gap up dramatically. And dark pool accumulation is a delayed mechanism that will continue to aggregate and purchase supply without affecting the price on the public exchanges. And then when there's no longer available supply through the dark pools, they'll have to move over here. And that's when you'll see the big move. If you're judging crypto's future by what you see on public exchanges today, you're missing the mark. The real buying is happening in these dark pools. Stay patient, stay positioned. And when the dam breaks, make sure you're not trying to scramble to buy it at $10 when you could have bought it at 50 cents.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

And so what Jake is ultimately getting at in this short clip is that although you may not see institutions publicly recording these large buys on public exchanges, they are actively accumulating currencies just like XRP behind the scenes. And dark pools, which are private trading revenues for large institutions, allow for these hedge funds, family offices, and even nation states to buy massive amounts of XRP quietly without affecting the price on public exchanges. This is what creates what many people call the hidden accumulation. And in the short term, the price, nothing happens. It keeps the price charts boring and consistent, and it allows for institutions to buy consistently in these low price ranges. But after a certain amount of time, that buying pressure builds up, the supply runs low, and this sets up a massive potential for a shockwave to happen within the public markets. Big players, they avoid recording buys on public exchanges because they don't want competition copying what they're doing. They also don't want retail investors to jump into trades just because they're witnessing large companies do the exact same thing. But institutions quietly are stockpiling these digital assets. And when the time is ready, this could align with regulatory clarity and real utility, leading to the supply shock moment everyone has been waiting for.
