XRP Supply Shock Ahead: ‘No Longer Speculation,’ Says Crypto Pundit

In a livestream on October 22, 2025, crypto commentator Zach Rector argued that an XRP supply squeeze in 2025 is effectively “baked in,” contending that pending spot exchange-traded funds and a wave of “digital asset treasury” vehicles will lock up meaningful amounts of circulating supply. Why A XRP Supply Shock Could Be Coming “This is no longer speculation,” Rector said at the top of the show. “When these ETFs do go live, we are going to see inflows… With conservative assumptions on the inflows and simple math on the multiplier… we can confirm that XRP is going to a much higher price and that a supply shock will ensue this year unless the government shutdown extends until 2026. ” Rector anchored his thesis to what he described as empirics from last year’s trading source: https://www.newsbtc.com/xrp-news/xrp-supply-shock-ahead-no-longer-speculation/
