XRP appears in The World Economic Forum’s CBDC “Policymaker Toolkit” among options for wholesale settlement.
Analyst Edo Farina from The Alpha Lions Academy, known for macro-crypto crossover content, is telling XRP holders this week that Davos 2026 “made it very clear a global financial reset is on the horizon” — and that Ripple’s token is positioned at the center of it.
In a new YouTube video, he frames XRP, and to a lesser extent Stellar’s XLM, as core infrastructure for a post‑Bretton Woods monetary order.
The argument leans heavily on central bank experiments, World Economic Forum (WEF) documents, and the presence of Ripple executives in Davos‑level discussions, while mixing in open skepticism about the WEF’s unelected influence.
XRP Now On Official Tool-kits Inside Davos Meeting Rooms
The video’s most concrete citation is a WEF report, “Central Bank Digital Currency Policymaker Toolkit.” On page 17, the creator notes, XRP is listed among platforms “designed for inter- or intra‑bank payments and settlements,” alongside JPM Coin, under technology options for wholesale CBDCs.
The host also claims “the majority of European central banks have successfully tested on the XRP Ledger” though no specific banks or pilots are named.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s role at the WEF is highlighted repeatedly. The creator describes him as “a member of the board of directors of the World Economic Forum” and points to Davos 2026 coverage stating Ripple joined BlackRock and other institutions in sessions on the integration of crypto with traditional finance.
Ripple, according to him, sponsored the “USA House” in Davos as a venue for closed‑door talks on AI, digital assets and “economic resilience.”
Stellar’s CEO Denelle Dixon is briefly brought in as a parallel case: the video says she led a dedicated Davos 2026 panel on tokenizing real‑world assets (RWAs) on Stellar, reinforcing the idea that both XRP and XLM sit inside the same policy conversation.
Tokenization, Sidelined Banks & Woes Of The Clarity Act
BlackRock chief Larry Fink’s evolving public stance appears as a narrative pivot. The creator contrasts his earlier skepticism about client demand for crypto with more recent comments that tokenization of financial assets is a “mega‑trend” that will “totally reshape financial services.”
The implication: infrastructure chains with RWA and settlement capabilities — the XRP Ledger among them — stand to benefit.
The video folds this into a broader thesis that “every aspect of life… is going to be tokenized on a blockchain,” and that high‑energy, low‑throughput networks like Bitcoin will not be the venue. No competing L1s or L2s are discussed in detail.
At the regulatory layer, the host repeatedly refers to a coming “Clarity Act” that will “wipe out the entire crypto industry” and leave only “a few winners,” naming XRP as “already ahead of the curve.” No jurisdiction, bill text, or lawmakers are cited; this part of the narrative is presented as forecast rather than documented policy.
A Global Reset Narrative With XLM & XRP as Sharp Edges
The creator positions all of this inside a sweeping “Bretton Woods 2.0” storyline. A European speech about the 1971 dollar-gold break is used to argue that today’s geopolitical shocks “must serve as an opportunity… to build a new form of euro” and reduce dependency on foreign currencies, with CBDCs and tokenized rails as the mechanism.
The tone toward the WEF is openly hostile — “absolutely disgusted about these globalists” — even as their reports and events are treated as signals of which assets may be structurally favored.
Viewers are told there are “only two ways out”: become an early investor in the infrastructure tokens or end up as a late‑adopter user of CBDCs with “programmable money” and “government surveillance.”
Why This Matters
For investors, the actionable substance in the video boils down to three claims: WEF literature explicitly acknowledges XRP for wholesale settlement use cases; Ripple and Stellar are present in high‑level policy forums; and tokenization is moving from thesis to mainstream strategy at the largest asset managers.
The leap from that to “XRP is the chosen asset” remains speculative, but the policy and institutional breadcrumbs are real enough to keep XRP and XLM on the radar of anyone tracking state‑aligned crypto rails.
