James Wynn, a well-known trader in the cryptocurrency realm who gained notoriety through substantial investments in meme coins and BTC futures, has pledged his support for XRP.

In a recent X post, he revealed that he explored the ins and outs of XRP and has now invested a noteworthy amount exceeding $25,000 into the token.

“I’ve spent the last 24hrs going down the rabbit hole of $XRP. I have decided to invest a SIGNIFICANT portion into XRP. ($25..+) I believe it could revolutionize the banking systems. It’s a gamble, as all investments are. Whether you are Team XRP or not. I want everyone to…”

Wynn posits that Ripple, alongside its native token, harbors immense potential and could fundamentally alter banking systems. Nonetheless, he acknowledges that investing in XRP also carries its share of uncertainties, akin to all investments.

His endorsement comes at an unusual moment, as Ripple has recently announced the rebranding of Hidden Road, a prime broker it acquired for $1.25 billion earlier this year, to Ripple Prime. This development positions Ripple as the sole cryptocurrency firm that operates a global, multi-asset prime brokerage, catering to institutional clients at scale.

Additionally, Wynn has urged the community to share their insights regarding the advantages and drawbacks of investing in Ripple’s cross-border token. The XRP Army, a vocal faction within the crypto landscape, quickly pointed out several benefits, including Ripple’s status as the second oldest chain within the top 10 and its swift and cost-effective Layer 1 network.

Conversely, skepticism also emerged, as one user questioned how much Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, compensated Wynn for his recent post on Friday.

In a subsequent message, Wynn mentioned he is shifting away from meme coins and perpetual trading, signaling a desire to concentrate on building within the crypto sector. However, it’s unclear how this transition connects to Ripple.
