- ONDO allegedly urged the SEC to delay Nasdaq’s entry into RWA tokenization, fearing an XRP supply crunch.
- Ripple’s planned XRP buybacks signal potential institutional demand, supply shock, and market bottom.
- Bold predictions (like $1,000 XRP by 2026) and Nasdaq’s involvement at Ripple’s SWELL event underscore rising institutional interest.
The cryptocurrency world is abuzz with claims that major financial institutions are vying for limited access to XRP, the digital asset associated with Ripple, amid a growing push toward real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
According to a viral post from crypto commentator “The Real Remi Relief,” tensions are rising behind the scenes as players like ONDO and Nasdaq angle for strategic positioning.
ONDO Warns SEC to Stall Nasdaq’s Entry
In a surprising development, ONDO, a firm deeply involved in RWA tokenization and reportedly partnered with Ripple, has submitted a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) urging caution in allowing Nasdaq into the tokenization space. The motive? A potential supply crunch of XRP.
“There’s NOT ENOUGH XRP to go around,” Remi Relief warned in his tweet, suggesting ONDO’s letter stems from concerns that Nasdaq’s entry would outstrip the available XRP supply.
ONDO, holding a significant position in RWA infrastructure, is believed to be protecting its first-mover advantage in the tokenized finance sector.

There’s NOT ENOUGH XRP to go around. So much so that ONDO sent a letter to the SEC discouraging them from green lighting Nasdaq from getting in on the tokenization game.

Ripple Buybacks Fuel Supply Shock Speculation
Adding to the intrigue, Ripple is planning to engage in XRP buybacks, a move that some see as preparation for anticipated institutional demand and a signal that a major supply shock could be imminent.
Remi Relief suggests that this move by Ripple indicates several key developments. First, it could imply that previous price manipulation efforts have ended, and major players have now shifted to accumulating XRP rather than suppressing it.
Second, Ripple’s willingness to buy at current price levels might signal that the market has found a bottom, and that significant price movement could be on the horizon. Lastly, this buyback activity points to an accelerated timeline for a supply shock, suggesting that XRP’s scarcity may become a pressing issue faster than previously expected.
“This is just Nasdaq they’re fearing… imagine the 1,700 NDAs and the ETFs,” the commentator noted, alluding to the broader institutional interest yet to be publicly disclosed.
$1,000 XRP by 2026? A Bold Prediction
Remi Relief also reiterated a bold prediction that XRP could reach $1,000 as soon as 2026, a dramatic increase from current levels. He attributes this potential surge to the convergence of institutional demand, limited supply, and Ripple’s proactive steps to stabilize and prepare the ecosystem.
While such projections remain highly speculative, they underscore the growing narrative that XRP may play a pivotal role in the future of tokenized finance.
Further fueling speculation, Adena Friedman, CEO of Nasdaq, is scheduled to appear at Ripple’s annual SWELL conference. The high-profile presence could signify deeper collaboration or competition in the tokenization space, according to Remi Relief.
Final Thoughts
As the battle for blockchain-based financial infrastructure intensifies, XRP’s role as a potential liquidity bridge and RWA settlement layer is once again at the forefront. While much remains unconfirmed and speculative, one thing is clear for Remi Relief: institutional eyes are now watching XRP closely, and possibly fighting over it.
