The world is drowning in debt, and traditional systems seem unable to handle the weight. With governments and institutions borrowing more than ever, experts are starting to look at new ways to manage the crisis.
Black Swan Capitalist founder Versan Aljarrah believes the answer lies in restructuring, with XRP playing a key role in creating the neutral liquidity needed to reset the system.
Debt Problem Too Big to Ignore
As of September 2025, global sovereign debt has soared above $315 trillion, with the U.S. accounting for a record $36.2 trillion,over 122% of its GDP. Meanwhile, the U.S. alone is adding $1 trillion in fresh debt every three months.
These numbers show just how unsustainable the situation has become. Paying down this debt under the current system looks almost impossible.
Tokenization as a Way Out
Aljarrah believes the “real play” is not about repayment but about transforming it into tokenized liquidity. This means turning trillions of dollars of debt into blockchain-based assets.
Although, the idea is gaining momentum. By 2025, tokenized assets reached $15.2 billion, up 85% year-on-year. Experts like the World Economic Forum and Boston Consulting Group project the market could grow to $10–16 trillion by 2030.
In his view, neutral assets like XRP, tokenized gold, and regulated stablecoins could anchor this new system, offering stability and efficiency that traditional finance is struggling to provide.
“Only XRP can unlock the liquidity trapped inside,” suggesting that the token’s speed and neutrality could make it the best tool for moving such massive sums across borders.
But, Why XRP Only?
While many tokens compete in the blockchain space, XRP has long been promoted as a bridge currency for fast and low-cost settlement. Aljarrah believes this makes it uniquely suited to manage the liquidity challenges tied to global debt.
His bullish outlook also echoes past comments, where he hinted at XRP being “hidden in plain sight,” waiting for the right moment to shine.
As of now, XRP price is trading around $2.82 reflecting a drop of 2% seen in the last 24 hours. However, XRP price is nearly 20% down from its all-time high price $3.68.
