Ripple XRP: ARTHUR HAYES ADMITTED IT! THE FED WILL PRINT NEXT! (EPIC CRYPTO NEWS)

Iran has unveiled something called Hermes Safe, and if it actually works, it could completely change how global shipping, sanctions, and even cryptocurrency interact with each other. What you just heard is not a rumor, not a meme, not a tweet. That clip you just watched is from a real broadcast. Iran just rolled out a state-backed system called Hormuz Safe that turns Bitcoin into the price of safe passage through 20% of the world's oil. And Tehran is projecting $10 billion a year in revenue. But this isn't really about Iran. By the end of this video, you'll see why this one move points straight at the financial reset that's coming this year, and why holding altcoins like XRP in your own self-custody wallets is the only off-ramp that people building this new financial system can't shut off. So before I walk you through how they pulled this off, do me one quick favor.

Our official account link will be in the description below this video. Let's run it. All right, Bullrunners, welcome back to the channel. So let me explain exactly what Iran just built. The story I'm about to walk you through is the cleanest signal that I've seen in months that the old dollar rails are quietly being replaced underneath us. Iran's Revolutionary Guard just turned 20 million barrels of oil a day into a Bitcoin tollbooth, and the hedge fund manager who invented the perpetual swap at BitMEX is sitting on rocks and magic internet money and refusing to touch anything else. The Federal Reserve is being teed up to print another wave of liquidity into a war that's already in its third month. However, the investigative journalist who's been right about the financial system for a decade warned in 2024 that the next crisis would be used to launch a brand new system. And every single one of these threads ties back to the one decision that you need to make about the altcoins that you hold in your portfolio this month. So let's get straight into what Iran actually rolled out and why this matters for you and your crypto portfolio. And this is the part that most of the financial press skipped right over. A senior Franklin Templeton executive who served in combat in the Middle East was put in front of cameras to explain what Iran just announced. The the Iranians announced this new program, Hormuz Safe, where they're suggesting that carriers, ships can pay for insurance using Bitcoin. The platform was rolled out by Iran's Ministry of Economy and Financial Affairs and first reported by the IRGC, affiliated Fars News Agency. And then Bloomberg later confirmed it. Tehran is openly telling tanker operators they have to file detailed cargo info, accept a designated coastal route near the Iranian coastline and pay the toll in Bitcoin. The Financial Times pin the price at roughly one dollar per barrel for crude carriers and about a fifth of all the oil produced on Earth moves through this corridor every single day. And Iran is now demanding that the ticket be denominated in a decentralized asset that no central bank can sign off on, no SWIFT network can route and no Western sanction can freeze. But to understand why Bitcoin specifically, you have to think like a sanctioned country. The reporter who first broke this down on Indian television laid the math out plainly. In simple terms, a shipping company would pay a premium in Bitcoin, receive a digitally verified insurance certificate and then supposedly get secure passage through state of commerce and nearby waters. Iran's been locked out of the international banking system for years. Traditional dollar transactions are nearly impossible over there. International banks won't touch anything connected to Tehran. So they reach for the one asset that operates outside the normal banking system, the one asset no central bank controls, the one asset that doesn't need a SWIFT code to settle. And the reporter then said the quiet part out loud. Iran is no longer treating cryptocurrency as just a speculative asset. It is now trying to weaponize it strategically, using crypto as a tool for trade, survival and geopolitical leverage. The word weaponized sounds dramatic until you realize Iran isn't the first country to figure this out. Iran's crypto ecosystem already hit seven point eight billion dollars in 2025. And about half of that volume runs through IRGC linked wallets. So the state is mining Bitcoin at an estimated thirteen hundred dollars a coin and using it to fund imports and hedge against oil revenue shortfalls. So Russia has been settling oil and crypto. China has been building dollar alternatives for years. And the BRICS countries have been talking openly about non-dollar trade systems for a while as well. And Iran just made it impossible to ignore. Therefore, the second you start tracking the money, you see the whole picture flip upside down. The Franklin Templeton executive then added one detail that explains why this is bigger than one country. Yeah, well, we've already seen them use stable coins. And in fact, some of those stable coins were seized by U.S. officials, I think to the tune of around 300 million. Three hundred million dollars in stable coins already seized by American officials. That means crypto rails are already carrying real geopolitical money and the U.S. already has the forensic to lead to chase it. So Iran graduated. They moved from stable coins, which can be frozen by the issuer at any moment, over to Bitcoin, which can't. And the Hormuz safe insurance policy even has a carve out built into it. It covers inspection, detention and confiscation of vessels. But war damage from direct military strikes is explicitly excluded. So they thought through every single angle there. It's absolutely insane when you realize the world's most isolated regime understood Bitcoin's actual use case before most of Wall Street did. And when Iran was building that toll booth, the hedge fund manager who invented the perpetual swap was sitting on his hands on purpose. Arthur Hayes founded BitMEX, invented the perpetual swap contract that almost every crypto derivative on Earth is now based on. Well, he went on Italian television in the middle of the conflict and he stripped his whole portfolio down into two assets. I own rocks in the ground. I own magic Internet money. And that's basically it. Rocks in the ground and magic Internet money. That's commodities and Bitcoin, nothing else. No tech stocks, no diversified portfolio, no clever hedges. You know, he called this moment a no trade zone for everything except those two buckets. Then he explained why a longer war benefits the one asset class that he holds. The Fed always does what is necessary to attempt to finance the war. Hayes pointed at the 1990 Gulf War as the template. Oil spiked, the Fed cut rates straight into rising inflation because they had to fund the war machine. And the man who lost his job over it was George H.W. Bush. And the same playbook is loading right now. Trump already announced on Truth Social that the U.S. Navy will escort vessels through the strait and the U.S. government will underwrite shipping insurance. The private market won't touch and every one of those guarantees has to be paid for. And the only way to pay for it is to issue more debt and monetize it through the central bank, which means the dollar in your bank account is being quietly diluted while the news argues about whose missile hit which base. So this is the exact gap that we need to discuss, because when you see fundamental news like this and then you watch the price action on the chart, sometimes it doesn't make any sense. So what we did is we assembled the brightest minds in crypto and we created a private intelligence network for investors sitting on $50,000 or more in crypto who are done watching their portfolio just sit on an exchange that they don't control and who are done watching the crazy volatility in the market slowly eating away at their position while they hold all the way to the bear market bottom. So I left a link in the description below.

Now, quick disclaimer before we continue, this content is just purely for educational, informational purposes only. Obviously, past results don't guarantee future profits and it takes solid risk management, patience and persistence to make money with crypto. So I didn't guarantee any results here. These videos are just purely to give you the data. That way you can do your own research and consult a financial advisor. Like I say, results are typical, so don't be typical. So if you're still with me here and you're watching the headlines, a new gold standard has been quietly forming right underneath our feet. Hayes pointed out something almost nobody in mainstream finance is saying out loud right now. A new, quiet building of a gold standard. For months in a row, the number one export from the United States by dollar value has been non-monetary gold sent first to Switzerland to be refined, then forwarded to China. China then sells the goods the West needs in exchange. And this isn't a theory here. This is published customs data anyone can pull up here. Gold is once again lubricating international trade outside of the dollar. And Bitcoin is doing the same job for sanctioned states and countries like Iran. Even the World Gold Council is reporting that central banks have been buying gold at a pace not seen since the 1960s. The dollar is still on the surface, but the actual settlement layer of global trade is splitting in two directions and neither direction needs the Federal Reserve's permission slip anymore. However, the loudest voice in the institutional crypto desk world is saying Bitcoin is doing exactly what it was built to do. So Anthony Pompliano, he was on CNBC the morning after the Iran flare up. Bitcoin's been the shining light over the Iran conflict. I mean, stocks are down. You see bonds going down. You see gold going down. Bitcoin has been flat to slightly up. So when stocks, bonds and even gold sold off on the war headlines, Bitcoin held its ground. So that's not a coincidence there. It's the market quietly confirming that a neutral censorship resistant asset has a place in the world where every other asset has a counterparty that can fail. And you can't make this up. The thing that the suit and ties laughed at for 10 years is the main thing that Iran chose when the missiles started flying. But this is the part that people building the new system really don't want you sitting on for too long and understanding. Whitney Webb has spent years documenting how powerful financial actors have positioned themselves around Bitcoin. Back in 2024, she warned that another banking crisis would be used as a cover up to relaunch the financial system with full surveillance baked in. She pointed out something on her latest interview that every single XRP holder needs to listen to. You know, these guys want Bitcoin to be a specific thing because they can use it. So the people she's referring to are BlackRocks, Larry Fink, Jeffrey Epstein and older interviews in the Larry Summers crowd. So their plan is for Bitcoin to be locked inside ETFs, inside custodial wallets, inside their compliance regime, a tame digital store of value that lives on their rails. And the version of Bitcoin Iran is using is the opposite. Self-custody, no permission slip, no off switch, no major institution really holding the funds in some professional suit and tie format. And the tension is what this entire moment is about here. They want a caged asset. The real owners want a free one. The same logic applies to every other digital asset, including your altcoins that you hold like XRP. So that's where every single thread in this video leads to. Iran built a Bitcoin toll on global oil because Bitcoin can't be frozen. Hays is sitting on Bitcoin and commodities because the Fed will be forced to print and a new gold standard is quietly forming because the dollar is losing its monopoly. And Popliano on CNBC pointed out that Bitcoin held while every other asset bled. Now, the important thing to know is this. The people building the new financial system want every digital asset wrapped inside of their custody so they can decide who gets to use it. That's why they're rushing to launch all these ETFs. XRP that you hold in your own self-custody wallet sits completely outside of that cage that they control. You know, the keys are in your hands, not on an exchange that can be frozen, not in a fund that can cut you off, not in a bank that can write you out. And Ripple CEO went on Fox Business and he made the stakes plain as day. We need the U.S. to be the crypto capital of the world. So watch what's actually moving in Washington right now. The Clarity Act already cleared the Senate Banking Committee 15 votes to 9 on May 14. The SEC and the CFTC jointly classified XRP as a digital commodity on March 17. And Standard Chartered projects four to eight billion dollars of fresh institutional inflows into XRP ETFs the second this bill passes the Senate floor. So Goldman Sachs was the single largest institutional XRP ETF holder at one hundred and fifty four million dollars across four funds. And the moment they exited in the first quarter, UBS with 5.7 trillion dollars under management took a first time position. And then there's Bank of America and RBC stepping in alongside them. So cumulative XRP ETF inflows already crossed one point three seven billion dollars since the November 2025 launch. So the on ramps for institutions, they're open right now. And the off ramp for you is self custody, because once the new system goes live, the only XRP they can't sweep is the XRP you actually hold in self custody yourself. Now, the hard part is doing it right. You know, that's picking the right wallet, picking the right liquidity pool, picking the right yield generation protocol that holds up under pressure and won't run cold all of your money. So that's exactly the gap that we close with the people that we work with inside of our private intelligence network. And this is the part that the World Economic Forum, Davos, you know, the Bank for International Settlements really don't want you sitting with. Because like I said in previous videos over 2000 years ago, you know, Jesus told his followers the kingdom of God is within you. It's not a building. It's not an institute. It's not a temple run by priests and money changers who decide who gets in and who gets let out. The same blueprint runs straight through self custody because you have control over your financial sovereignty under self custody. So why would you give up your spiritual sovereignty along with your financial sovereignty? The World Economic Forum at Davos, the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, the central banks, the Freemason Lodges and the regulators have spent decades teaching you that you need a bank to hold your money, a broker to hold your shares and an institution to bless your future and give you permission. Whereas holding your own private keys is no different than holding your own spiritual authority because both kingdoms come from where? Inside you. Not from a marble building or a vault door downtown that some banker can cut you off from and decide if you get to withdraw your money or not. So that's why a Bitcoin price toll on global oil terrifies them. That's why Iran, of all places, figured this out before most of America's financial press did. The entire role disappears. The second value moves without their permission and self custody is how you take that permission all the way back. So if any of this is landing, it's making sense for you.
