Crypto researcher Michelle Kirby (@_Michellekirby1) recently posted a video laying out what she believes is a significant moment for XRP holders.
Her focus was a recent public statement from former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Powell announced that the Fed plans to update its payment system, which dates back to the 1970s. Kirby took that as a signal worth acting on.
Reading the Price Drop
Kirby pointed to XRP’s slide to $1.20 and below as part of a deliberate pattern. In her view, large players pushed the price down through heavy sell orders. That triggered stop-losses across the market, forcing retail investors to sell. Capital then flooded back in, and the price recovered.
She told her audience to treat those dips as buying opportunities. “Those are buy orders, in my opinion,” she said. She was clear that she is not a financial advisor, describing herself as just a girl who knows how to research. Her own position on XRP is firm. Revealed that her exit strategy is “death.”
Does Powell Still Have Influence
Powell no longer chairs the Federal Reserve. Kevin Warsh took over on May 22, 2026, and now leads all policy decisions and official communications. Still, Powell sits on the Board of Governors, with his term running until January 2028. He votes on Federal Reserve decisions, including those made by the Federal Open Market Committee.
His public statements carry credibility built over years leading the institution. A comment about modernizing the U.S. payment system carries weight regardless of his current title.
The Fed updating decades-old infrastructure is not a small announcement. Combined with the price action she described, Kirby read it as confirmation that large players are positioning themselves ahead of a major shift.
What It Means for XRP
XRP has long been positioned as a solution to outdated financial infrastructure and cross-border payments. Powell’s remarks did not name any cryptocurrency. The link to XRP remains speculative. But for holders who have followed the asset for years, a public signal from a sitting Fed governor about payment system modernization reinforces the core argument they have made all along.
Kirby believes that volatility is not a reason to sell. It is an opportunity to accumulate. She urged holders to stay the course and resist the pressure large sell orders create.
