Teucrium ETFs CEO Sal Gilbertie believes the last half of November could mark a major phase for XRP and Ripple. His statement has intensified speculation as several institutional milestones approach.
Gilbertie shared this view during an interview with Ray Fuentes at Ripple Swell 2025. According to Gilbertie, Swell 2025 highlighted the rapid pace of integration between digital assets and traditional markets.
He said the space is now filled with decision-makers shaping policies, product design, and long-term infrastructure. Gilbertie described the crowd as unified by a shared belief that blockchain is moving into a period of real global use.
He also pointed to two insights that strengthened this belief. The Canary XRP ETF is expected to debut on November 13, and Citibank forecasts trillions in tokenized assets within five years. Gilbertie added that the timing of this ETF launch makes late November an important window for XRP investors.
Gilbertie closed his interview by urging XRP holders to trust long-term adoption. He said volatility will fade as institutional engagement increases. He believes the XRP Ledger is reaching a new level of maturity that will reshape the asset’s outlook as November progresses.
Ripple Swell featured a strong lineup of global figures from payments, banking, trading, and blockchain networks. Some expect the company to reveal new XRP use cases during the event. Brad Garlinghouse recently reaffirmed the token’s central role in the company’s operations.
Ripple President Monica Long opened the event by outlining how digital finance is accelerating. Nasdaq CEO Adena Friedman joined her on stage to discuss the role of blockchain in shaping the next era of financial markets.
Ripple Swell would gain more significance because of the presence of Patrick Witt. The U.S. digital asset advisor confirmed he will share the stage with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse at Swell.
He said he will also appear with Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov at SmartCon to discuss next-generation financial infrastructure. Witt described the future as “bright,” signaling growing cooperation among major blockchain networks and traditional institutions. His comments were reshared by Garlinghouse.
His role involves bridging policies on digital assets with financial modernization. Witt’s appearance is an indication that there is growing partnership between the government and the industry as far as blockchain is concerned.
