Chris Perkins says: The idea that gas tokens could become strategic commodities is quite important when thinking about XRP. As $160 trillion in financial markets gradually migrate on-chain and operate 24/7, blockchain will evolve from merely a venue for trading crypto assets into the very infrastructure driving finance itself. When that happens, the native tokens used within these systems will no longer be just speculative assets—they’ll become essential resources powering their respective economies. That’s what makes XRP so interesting and significant. It’s not just a gas fee token—it has the potential to serve multiple roles: payments, DEXs, pathfinding, bridge liquidity, and even collateral in the future. That’s why I don’t view XRP merely as a payment token. If the XRPL truly becomes part of the global financial infrastructure, XRP itself is likely to become the native asset that moves value and provides liquidity. Ultimately, what matters most isn’t just XRP’s price—but how much economic activity it will enable and support going forward. #XRP
