Crypto analyst Zach Rector said the next XRP bull run is not a question of if, but when, pointing to early signals that he believes show liquidity is rotating from traditional markets into digital assets.
Rector cited recent stock-market gains, including an added $10 trillion in market capitalization over 39 days. He noted the NASDAQ reached 29,000 for the first time in history and the S&P 500 hit a record 7,400. According to Rector, this kind of liquidity expansion has historically rotated into crypto next, and that rotation has already begun.
Rector pointed to two recent price moves as evidence of that shift:
Rector said XRP did not move on the Ondo news despite being the underlying infrastructure. He described this as “incredible suppression,” but argued it should not be taken as a sign of weakness. He added that XRP outperformed Ondo in the last cycle and expects a similar pattern again.
Rector identified the CLARITY Act as the catalyst he expects to reduce regulatory uncertainty for XRP and the broader crypto market. He said the Senate Banking Committee has scheduled the bill’s markup for May 14 at 10:30 AM EST.
He characterized this as the last meaningful window to advance the bill before midterm campaigning accelerates. Rector said that if the legislation clears committee, advances through the full Senate, is reconciled with the House version, and reaches Trump’s desk by July 4, it would remove what he called the single biggest regulatory overhang.
Rector also flagged signs that retail participation has already declined. He cited that Coinbase XRP trading volume fell 18% year over year, which he said indicates retail has largely exited.
In his view, that environment is often when the next move begins. He said the pattern typically involves “scaring retail out,” followed by sideways trading that “bored” participants, before a subsequent push higher.
Rector said his portfolio is 90% XRP and that he is already positioned, adding that the bull run, in his view, will not wait for everyone to feel comfortable.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
