While the $100 XRP call by Jan. 1, 2026 clearly failed, Rector argues that the miss wasn\u2019t just a bad call, it was the certainty and urgency behind it, sold into a community that has spent years marinating in catalyst talk, NDA hints, and timeline debates.<\/p>\n<h2>The $100 XRP Call<\/h2>\n<p>Rector said he has challenged the $100 XRP claim throughout 2025 and was surprised Claver continued doubling down into the final days of the year. In Rector\u2019s telling, the problem is not prediction-making, he said he has missed targets too, but the way extreme outcomes were marketed as near-certain, with the implication of privileged information.<\/p>\n<p>He played a clip from Claver\u2019s live show after Rector criticized the $100 call. When confronted, Claver did not concede, instead implying he may \u201cknow something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I was going to pivot, should have pivoted by now,\u201d Claver said in the clip Rector quoted. \u201cUnless I know something. Why wouldn\u2019t I? \u2026 We\u2019ll see what ends up happening by the end of the year. We\u2019ll see where the price is. And I think the results will speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rector argued that this kind of messaging: NDA-coded, \u201ctrust me\u201d signaling becomes a lever inside XRP culture, where many holders have learned to treat timelines and insider claims as tradable narratives. Rector calls this behaviour \u201cmanipulation,\u201d saying Claver\u2019s \u201cbusiness model is so reliant upon that manipulation\u201d that he \u201ccan\u2019t back out now.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Addressing Jake Claver lies Part 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rmVMK3XtUH\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/rmVMK3XtUH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZachRector7\/status\/2006367884562641097?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 31, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Serious Allegations<\/h2>\n<p>Rector\u2019s sharper allegations go beyond price talk and into what he described as XRP-focused funds offered through Digital Wealth Partners (DWP).

He also made a specific performance claim: \u201cone of the funds\u2026 has been losing money all year,\u201d he said, adding it \u201clost over 4% on the year,\u201d before fees, including \u201cAUM fees of 2% in some cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Addressing Jake Claver lies Part 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rYkmJ1jsfr\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/rYkmJ1jsfr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZachRector7\/status\/2006393230976495951?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 31, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rector\u2019s broader point was that XRP holders are being asked to accept a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/hidden-xrp-accumulation-ceo-points-to-secret-buys-by-the-wealthiest-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">trust me bro relationship<\/a>\u201d around returns, even as he says he has not heard from any investor who can confirm \u201cpayments and distributions coming out\u201d in a way that matches the marketing.<\/p>\n<p>To explain why he views the trust gap as serious for XRP holders, Rector leaned on a prior legal dispute involving Claver and Digital Ascension. Rector said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacermonitor.com\/public\/case\/51681951\/Verivend_Inc_v_Claver_et_al\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">case is public<\/a> record and described it as \u201cVeriVend versus Jacob Levi Claver and Digital Ascension Group\u201d in the Western District of New York. He read from what he described as court filings and emphasized that the allegations and admissions, as he presented them, involve fabricated wire confirmations and impersonation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a serious deal,\u201d Rector said, arguing the behavior he described should matter to XRP holders being asked to trust performance claims, NDAs, and time-sensitive narratives. He urged viewers to review the \u201canswer to the complaint,\u201d which he said includes admissions such as registering a VeriVend-related domain and fabricating purported wire transfer confirmations.<\/p>\n<p>Rector also said the case settled, pointing to a \u201cmediation certification\u201d dated Feb. 12, 2025. He claimed, separately, that Claver paid the opposition in XRP to settle, an assertion Rector stated as a confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>Rector framed his goal as containment rather than escalation, saying he wants the community \u201cto stay together\u201d and \u201cnot be divided,\u201d but he also laid down an explicit remedy: third-party verification. \u201cI want a third-party audit of those funds,\u201d he said, arguing that absent audited financials he will not trust performance reporting tied to XRP strategies.<\/p>\n<p>At press time, XRP traded at $1.85.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-650718\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?resize=1024%2C439\" alt=\"XRP price chart\" width=\"1024\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=3628 3628w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRPUSDT_2026-01-01_12-58-30.png?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A loud internal fight is spilling out across the XRP Army, with Zach Rector accusing Jake Claver of using high-certainty price narratives, most notably the \u201c$100 XRP by end of 2025\u201d call, to pull attention, credibility, and capital from the community.
