It\u2019s time to find a way to profit from it. Might involve the Yen. And XRP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On December 6, he indicated that his interest in the token would not be a one-off remark, stating: \u201cGoing to do a long form post on XRP shortly.\u201d In a separate message the same day he warned followers, \u201cMight get annoying as fuck about XRP,\u201d and urged them: \u201cPut your notifications on for my account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tone shifted further on December 7 from exploration to concrete signaling. Responding to speculation that he was chasing social metrics, Gayed insisted: \u201cIt\u2019s not engagement farming. I\u2019m working on something big. Big hint will be revealed this Thursday.\u201d Without specifying whether he is referring to research, a trading strategy, or a product, he made clear that the token will be central to whatever he is preparing.<\/p>\n<p>In a final note to close out that sequence, Gayed addressed the community directly: \u201cGoodnight XRP army. I wrote this song. It\u2019s yours now.\u201d The song, shared with his followers, has since been circulated by prominent accounts, cementing his outreach to one of crypto\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/retail-drive-xrp-price-to-1000\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">most vocal retail bases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Goodnight XRP army.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote this song.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s yours now. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7EPjl65Twh\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/7EPjl65Twh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael A.

Gayed operates at the intersection of traditional asset management, ETF work and cross-asset macro research. His Lead-Lag framework is built around intermarket signals and risk regimes, and he has repeatedly warned of underpriced <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-breaks-macro-rules-risk-appetite-grows-despite-hawkish-signals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">systemic risk<\/a> in global markets.<\/p>\n<p>Against that backdrop, the line \u201cMight involve the Yen. And XRP\u201d suggests he is working on a structured macro thesis that somehow connects currency dislocations, his negative outlook and the token. However, he has not yet disclosed any specific trade structure, allocation decision or product plan.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, the verifiable facts are limited: Gayed has promised a long-form analysis, has stated he is \u201cworking on something big,\u201d has explicitly rejected the idea that this is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/matthew-sigel-triggers-uproar-in-xrp-community-heres-what-he-said\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">engagement farming<\/a>,\u201d and has linked the token and the yen to his long-standing message that markets are in a precarious state. The exact nature, timing and market impact of his planned initiative remain unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Until he publishes the promised long-form piece or a formal announcement, holders and broader market participants only know one thing for sure: a high-profile macro and ETF strategist has decided to make XRP a central theme of his upcoming work\u2014and he wants everyone watching when he does.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, XRP traded at $2.089.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-641846\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?resize=1024%2C473\" alt=\"XRP price\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=3628 3628w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/XRPUSDT_2025-12-08_09-42-28.png?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael A.
