CryptoSensei (@Crypt0Senseii) has shared a video on X that revisits a set of claims that continue to circulate within the XRP community. He focused on long-standing theories from Kendra Hill, a controversial figure who is known for intriguing narratives about Ripple, XRP, global financial infrastructure, secret corporate arrangements, and more. However, one of her most intriguing claims is a potential partnership between Ripple and Amazon. This deal involves 5 billion XRP locked in escrow and could link XRP to one of the world’s largest institutions. DOES AMAZON HAVE A $5 BILLION #XRP DEAL WITH RIPPLE !? pic.twitter.com/PJiMT5JWFe — CryptoSensei (@Crypt0Senseii) December 8, 2025 Hill’s Vision and the Derivatives Market Claim In the video, CryptoSensei explained Hill’s claim that Ripple’s public focus on cross-border payments only represents an early stage of a much larger plan. Her claim says that Ripple intends for XRP to handle 100% of the transactions in the global derivatives market. This market carries notional values that run into the hundreds of trillions of dollars. Hill framed cross-border payments as a basic testing ground before the technology enters a larger financial arena. Her narrative puts XRP at the center of a future system where it processes all transactions in that market. CryptoSensei noted that Hill tied this idea to Codius, the smart contract platform that first appeared in Ripple’s early technical work. Hill claimed that Codius would serve as the execution layer for derivatives contracts in that scenario. She also said the plan was not ready and had not been announced by Ripple. Although her claims remain unverified, they match views from supporters who expect XRP to enter high-value markets as adoption grows. The 5 Billion XRP Theory CryptoSensei then shifted to the claim that Amazon negotiated a deal for 5 billion XRP in escrow in 2015. This rumor surfaced from the same community threads that referenced Hill’s work. It involves a screenshot where Amazon supposedly agreed to hold a locked allocation until an undisclosed partnership became public. CryptoSensei outlined how this rumor grew within early XRP circles and how it often appears alongside Hill’s larger narrative about future financial systems. He also addressed the factual side. Ripple CTO David Schwartz stated that he has seen no evidence that Amazon holds such a stake . Public blockchain data shows no wallet or escrow structure that links any confirmed Amazon entity to a 5 billion XRP allocation. Nothing in Ripple’s public records supports the claim. The rumor remains unverified, but it appears in discussions due to the scale of the number and the possibility that large technology firms could participate in future institutional markets that use XRP.
