Analyst Brad Kimes believes that XRP may develop into a global custodial asset similar to oil under OPEC, and Ripple's custodial reserves will be strategically used to stabilize prices and reduce volatility. He expects XRP to gradually become a unit of account over time, similar to the historic rise of the dollar, and proposes the U.S. Treasury Department to issue digital bonds linked to assets such as XRP to provide crisis liquidity. If Ripple gets bank access, its escrow account can act as the lender of last resort, shaping the price of XRP through strategic management rather than purely market forces.
