In a recent video shared on X, Levi Rietveld, founder of the Crypto Crusaders community, addressed what he believes is a pivotal moment for XRP and the broader crypto market. Referencing both political developments and ongoing macroeconomic trends, Rietveld argued that President Donald Trump is poised to trigger a significant shift in the financial landscape that could heavily favor XRP. Rietveld highlighted a recent report from major outlets, such as The New York Times, suggesting that Trump had plans to remove Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump denied the story shortly after its release but added that Powell is currently under investigation. This statement is an important part of Rietveld’s broader argument for XRP’s bullish future. Trump Is About To FLIP The SWITCH OVERNIGHT For XRP! #XRP pic.twitter.com/SIVNS39TFj — Levi | Crypto Crusaders (@LeviRietveld) July 16, 2025 A New Direction for the Federal Reserve? Trump cannot directly fire Powell without cause. However, the president would have faced a similar situation with former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, but Gensler chose to resign . Powell, on the other hand, stated that he would resist any attempt by the Trump administration to remove him before the end of his tenure in May 2026. However, Rietveld notes that Trump could fire Powell if an investigation deems he’s not acting in the U.S.’s best interest. Powell has resisted Trump’s calls to cut interest rates . If the investigation leads to his removal, Trump would likely appoint a Fed Chair more favorable to aggressive rate cuts and quantitative easing. Reports also suggest Powell is considering resignation , which would make Trump’s job easier and help create a more favorable climate for XRP and other cryptocurrencies. Digital Assets in a Shifting Economic Climate Rietveld tied this potential change in monetary leadership directly to rising demand for assets viewed as hedges against inflation, including cryptocurrencies. He warned of the long-term devaluation of the U.S. dollar, citing a dramatic drop in purchasing power from 1950 to 2025. According to Rietveld, the dollar’s value has declined to just $0.07 compared to its 1950 equivalent, with the pace of devaluation accelerating significantly over the past few decades. He argued that this environment drives investors toward alternatives like XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, and some experts believe XRP can kickstart the biggest monetary reset in history as the dollar declines. “What we see is the value of digital assets skyrocket” during periods of monetary expansion, he said. XRP, in particular, has shown strong price movement recently, with Rietveld highlighting its eight-day climb and current resistance levels around $3.06 to $3.07. While acknowledging the risks of investing in volatile markets, Rietveld said he believes the odds are increasingly in favor of crypto, especially if Trump implements his preferred economic strategy.
