Rumors linking Apple to a massive XRP purchase are circulating rapidly through the cryptocurrency community. A post on X claims that Apple is about to announce a billion-dollar buy of the digital asset, and the claim immediately captures attention online. But while some traders show excitement, one well-known XRP supporter pushes back against the story. XRP Influencer Dismisses Apple’s $1.5 Billion Buy Claim The claim about Apple spending billions on XRP gets a sharp response from XRP influencer Cobb, who is very active on X. Quoting the rumor, Cobb writes, “Are the ‘rumors’ in the room with us right now?” His comment mocks the story, comparing it to seeing ghosts, and points out that there is nothing substantial to support the claim. Related Reading: Could A Dogecoin ETF Be Launched This Week? This Expert Thinks So For many years, Apple avoided crypto completely and even placed restrictions on iOS that blocked in-app purchases involving digital tokens. Those limits were only lifted by Apple earlier this year. At the same time, some in the industry saw that as a bullish sign. However, lifting restrictions is very different from making a $1.5 billion buy of a single coin. The influencer’s response also suggests that if Apple were to enter the crypto market, XRP might not be its first choice. Bitcoin, with its trillion-dollar market value, or Ethereum, with its massive role in decentralized applications, would make far more sense for a company like Apple. Both assets are widely used by companies and even governments, unlike XRP, which remains tied more closely to its own community. By dismissing the rumor in such a direct way, Cobb shows how careful even strong supporters of XRP can be when faced with bold but unverified claims. Rumor Of Apple’s XRP Buy Circulates On X The rumor itself begins with a tweet from Dominus XRP Syndicate, an account with more than 45,000 followers. In the post, the user claims, “Strong rumors are circulating that Apple could be announcing a $1.5B $XRP purchase today.” The size of the account’s following helps the message spread quickly, drawing immediate attention in the XRP community. Related Reading: Ethereum Price To Clear $5,000 If This Level Is Broken However, as the conversation progresses, the lack of confirmation becomes apparent. Apple has never shown any public interest in making such a large, speculative buy, and the company has a reputation for being very cautious with big financial moves, showing little sign of embracing digital assets in such a direct way. The idea of one of the world’s most valuable companies holding XRP excites traders, even though nothing official supports the claim. Without a statement from Apple itself, the claim remains nothing more than speculation on social media. Although it has removed past restrictions on crypto, a billion-dollar XRP buy seems highly unlikely without clear evidence. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The Nasdaq has filed a proposed rule change with the SEC to list tokenized stocks, marking a significant integration of blockchain technology into traditional finance (TradFi). Market experts have predicted that XRP is one of the crypto assets that stand to benefit massively from this move. Nasdaq Files To List Tokenized Stocks Nasdaq has filed with the SEC to allow investors to trade tokenized stocks on its platform. The exchange has proposed that these securities could be traded in either their traditional form, without using blockchain technology, or in their tokenized form, utilizing blockchain technology. Furthermore, the platform proposes that shares of these tokenized securities should be traded in the same order book as the traditional ones and with the same execution priority. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The XRP Price If 10% Of Global Assets Are Tokenized Meanwhile, Nasdaq proposes that the market participants who wish to clear and settle their trades will note their preference by selecting a flag that the exchange will designate for this purpose. When the market participant selects the tokenized flag, Nasdaq will then communicate this to The Depository Trust Company, which is in charge of clearing trades. This move means that blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, Solana, and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), could experience increased adoption as companies transition to tokenizing their stocks. Notably, Galaxy Digital, last week, became the first Nasdaq-listed company to tokenize its common stock on Solana. Experts such as Tom Lee have made a case for why Ethereum will be the go-to platform for companies to tokenize their stocks on. Meanwhile, Solana and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) also stand out due to their speed and cost-efficiency. Solana recently passed the Alpenglow upgrade proposal, which will reduce transaction finality. Meanwhile, the XRPL has introduced new compliance amendments, which will incentivize institutions to adopt the network. All Tokenized Assets Will “Route Through XRP” In an X post, Versan Aljarrah, the founder of Black Swan Capitalist, commented on Nasdaq’s filing to list tokenized stocks and declared that all tokenized assets will eventually route and settle through XRP as the bridge currency. He added that this means trillions in value will move on-chain, possibly through the XRP Ledger. Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors Not To Sell Their Tokens In The Next 3 Months Aljarrah reiterated that all value flows through XRP. Notably, crypto analyst Costa recently predicted that the XRP price could reach $473,214 if 10% of global assets get tokenized on the XRPL. This came as Ripple predicted that 10% of global assets will be tokenized by 2030. Ripple has so far made great strides in its tokenization push, although no notable stock has been tokenized on the XRPL as of yet. However, it is worth noting that Ondo Finance’s tokenized U.S. Treasuries fund is integrated on the XRPL. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.95, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
