Cryptocurrency researcher SMQKE has highlighted a growing divergence in the treatment of Bitcoin and XRP within the global financial system. His tweets suggest that while Bitcoin remains outside traditional financial structures, XRP is becoming increasingly integrated. This distinction, he argues, is influencing regulatory actions and institutional adoption. Bitcoin Outside the System, XRP Within In his latest tweet, SMQKE stated , “This is why attacks on XRP are increasing. Crypto is merging with the traditional financial system. Bitcoin operates outside that system. This is why attacks on XRP are increasing. Crypto is merging with the traditional financial system. Bitcoin operates outside that system. Meanwhile, XRP has been aligned with it from the start. https://t.co/CLkWTOIVKi pic.twitter.com/g7idBVAOzW — SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) March 9, 2025 Meanwhile, XRP has been aligned with it from the start.” His perspective suggests that XRP’s deepening alignment with regulated financial institutions is making it a target of criticism, while Bitcoin continues to operate as an alternative outside mainstream finance. His previous tweet elaborated on this distinction: “The Bitcoin vs. XRP narrative is quietly being reversed. Why? Because Bitcoin ‘falls outside the system.’ Now, the IMF is pressuring countries not to use it as legal tender. Meanwhile, XRP ‘falls within the system.’ So ask yourself—what will the IMF push countries to adopt? Crypto assets that fall outside or inside the traditional system?” The mention of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) aligns with ongoing discussions about Bitcoin’s regulatory treatment. The IMF has repeatedly warned against nations adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, citing volatility and financial stability concerns. In contrast, XRP, designed for institutional use, appears to align more closely with global regulatory frameworks. Regulatory Integration and Institutional Adoption The images attached to SMQKE’s tweets reinforce this perspective. One document discusses how regulatory clarity paves the way for mainstream crypto adoption, stating, “Cryptoasset adoption is moving from the fringes of finance to the largest and most venerable trade centers in the world. Banks cannot afford to miss the moment.” This suggests an increasing role for digital assets within traditional finance.

Bitcoin and Ether often fall outside, while XRP often falls within the system.” This further supports the idea that XRP is positioned within the regulated financial ecosystem, unlike Bitcoin, which remains separate. The discussion also touches on how different jurisdictions treat cryptoassets, with some banning them outright while others integrate them into legal frameworks. This divide influences how institutional investors and financial bodies interact with digital assets. XRP’s ability to fit within existing financial structures may make it a preferred option for regulatory acceptance compared to Bitcoin. Future of Crypto Regulation SMQKE’s observations highlight an evolving crypto landscape where assets that conform to regulatory standards may gain institutional backing, while those that remain outside the system could face increasing restrictions. If international financial organizations like the IMF continue to discourage Bitcoin adoption while supporting regulated crypto assets, the regulatory environment may increasingly favor tokens like XRP. The broader question remains whether regulatory pressures will shape the future of digital assets based on their compatibility with traditional finance. As governments and institutions integrate blockchain technology, distinguishing between “inside the system” and “outside the system” may define which assets thrive in the evolving financial order.
