Black Swan Capitalist: XRP Can End the US–China Trade War. Here’s How

Tensions between the world’s two largest economies — the ￰0￱ China — transcend tariffs and tariffs ￰1￱ the surface lies a cumbersome web of financial rail systems, currency mismatches, and cross‑border settlement delays that throttle ￰2￱ momentum in this shadow zone of global commerce is a provocative thesis from Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, who argues that XRP could play a pivotal role in easing U. S.–China trade ￰3￱ Settlement Bottleneck in Global Trade Today’s global trade settlement remains anchored to legacy rails. Cross‑border payments are routed through correspondent banks, multiple intermediaries, and foreign‑exchange ￰4￱ layers introduce latency, cost, and ￰5￱ trade chains rely heavily on the ￰6￱ and the Chinese yuan, which means one party often must hold pre‑funded accounts in the other currency or endure multi‑step ￰7￱ creates structural friction in trade ￰8￱ reports confirm that outdated settlement systems cost the global economy tens of billions ￰9￱ fact: $XRP can end the US-China trade ￰10￱ a neutral reserve asset, it settles payments instantly, bypasses dollars and yuan, and eliminates the delays and friction that stall global ￰11￱ ￰12￱ — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) November 8, 2025 XRP as a Neutral Bridge Asset Aljarrah’s core point: XRP offers a neutral, digital bridge‑asset that can settle value between dollars and yuan instantly and ￰13￱ circumventing reliance on either national currency as the intermediate, it could reduce currency‑conversion steps, shrink settlement times, and cut operational costs ￰14￱ analyses show XRP‑based infrastructure can settle in seconds rather than days and reduce costs by up to 90%.

Also, while settlement rails can be improved, tariffs, strategic competition, intellectual‑property disputes, and supply‑chain decoupling are deeper political drivers of the U. S.–China trade war. A tech solution cannot alone resolve ￰21￱ caution that XRP may streamline value flows, but cannot replace economic ￰22￱ This Matters Now As global trade faces persistent stress — from supply‑chain fragility to currency‑settlement stress — the search for more effective infrastructure has ￰23￱ XRP becomes the settlement bridge in major corridors, two cumulative benefits can emerge: significantly reduced time and cost of trade flows, and diminished dominance of any one national currency ￰24￱ that doesn’t instantly dissolve the U.
