Crypto commentator Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto) has added important context to Ripple’s stated goal. Ripple has consistently reiterated its plan to build the Internet of Value . Xaif responded to this goal with a video of Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin affirming Ripple’s plan for XRP. Xaif Highlights a Clear Distinction In the video Xaif referenced, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spoke directly about what Ethereum is designed to be. His wording was precise. “People talk about cryptocurrency 2.0 being like the internet of value. We’re not the internet of value, Ripple is the internet of value.” Xaif used this statement to reinforce a core argument. Ethereum focuses on generalized computation. Ripple focuses on value transfer, and XRP sits at the core of that system . The roles differ by design, and XRP was built to be an integral part of global finance. Ripple has repeated its goal for years. The company positions XRP as a bridge asset for moving value across borders in real-time. That goal aligns with the concept of the Internet of Value. Xaif’s post connects those dots and strengthens the argument with Buterin’s comments. Vitalik Buterin knows better than all the maxis about Ripple and what it can do.. he himself admits Ethereum is not Internet of Value, Ripple $XRP is Internet of Value. https://t.co/5sfHPF5AxN pic.twitter.com/0FFBp0HELP — Xaif Crypto | (@Xaif_Crypto) December 28, 2025 XRP’s Functional Focus Versus Ethereum’s Architecture Ethereum excels at programmability. Smart contracts, decentralized applications, token standards, and more. However, these do not define an Internet of Value on their own. Vitalik’s statement acknowledges that distinction clearly. XRP was built for settlement. It completes transactions in seconds at fractions of a penny. Financial institutions use it to move value, not to experiment with execution environments. That focus gives XRP a different value proposition. It does not compete on the same axis as Ethereum. It competes on utility tied to payments.

Some analysts extend that view further. They argue that if global value transfer becomes the dominant use case, XRP could flip Ethereum and become the second-largest asset in the crypto market. Why the Debate Persists The idea that XRP could overtake Ethereum is not new. What keeps it alive is utility. Markets reward assets that solve real problems at scale. If value transfer becomes crypto’s primary function, networks designed for that task gain an advantage. Vitalik’s own words define Ethereum’s scope, and Ripple’s mission defines XRP’s purpose. While many critics dismiss XRP’s potential, ETH maxis can draw their conclusions from Buterin’s own words. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
