A viral post by the X account All Things XRP has sparked debate with a bold theory: former President Donald Trump’s proposed 2025 tax plan could be the catalyst for the next major crypto bull run—particularly benefiting XRP.
The post presents a hypothetical scenario: the elimination of federal income tax for Americans earning under $200,000 per year. With nearly 90% of the U.S. workforce falling into this income bracket, the theory argues that such a policy would unleash a wave of disposable income.
The big question: Where would this money go?
Crypto as the Destination?
The post suggests that with more cash on hand, many Americans might turn to crypto—especially those who prefer saving and investing over spending. Despite crypto ownership currently sitting at just 28% in the U.S., the author speculates that this number could rise dramatically if disposable income increases.
Why XRP Could Lead the Rally
While Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate the market, the post argues that XRP could be the primary beneficiary. XRP’s low transaction costs and fast speeds make it more accessible than Bitcoin’s slower network or Ethereum’s high gas fees.
Moreover, with Ripple’s legal victory over the SEC and the anticipated launch of an XRP Spot ETF, the XRP ecosystem is gaining momentum within the U.S. financial landscape.
Beyond Transactions: XRP as a Store of Value?
XRP, currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of over $130 billion, is widely used for payments and money transfers. However, the post forecasts a future where XRP could also serve as a store of value—potentially positioning it alongside Bitcoin, which is often viewed as “digital gold.”
The 1000% Price Surge Theory
The most explosive claim? If Trump’s tax cuts align with increased crypto adoption and regulatory clarity, XRP could surge by more than 1000%. Still, the author makes it clear: this prediction hinges entirely on the tax cut scenario, which remains speculative.
XRP’s recent performance lends some optimism to the outlook. Over the past year, XRP has climbed 343.4%, with a 7.7% increase in the last two weeks and 8.7% in the past month.
