The Jackson Liquidity Framework - Announcement
Lewis Jackson Ventures announces the release of the Jackson Liquidity Framework — the first quantitative, regulator-aligned model for liquidity sizing in AMM-based settlement systems, CBDC corridors, and tokenised financial infrastructures. Developed using advanced stochastic simulations and grounded in Basel III and PFMI principles, the framework provides a missing methodology for determining how much liquidity prefunded AMM pools actually require under real-world flow conditions.

Banks, Stablecoins, and Tokenized Assets
In Episode 011 of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson unpacks a pivotal week in global finance — one marked by record growth in tokenized assets, expanding stablecoin adoption across emerging markets, and major institutions deepening their blockchain commitments. This research brief summarises Jackson’s key findings, from tokenized deposits to institutional RWA chains and AI-driven compliance, and explains how these developments signal a maturing, multi-rail settlement architecture spanning Ethereum, XRPL, stablecoin networks, and new interoperability layers.Taken together, this episode marks a structural shift toward programmable finance, instant settlement, and tokenized real-world assets at global scale.

Reverse Carry Trade: Lewis Jackson Breaks Down Japan’s Biggest Risk and XRP’s Hidden Variable
In a new episode of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson examines Japan’s reverse carry trade, the Bank of Japan’s historic policy shift, and why XRP’s long-term viability depends on one under-discussed factor: velocity. By linking yen-funded liquidity flows, tokenized settlement rails, automated market makers, and on-demand liquidity corridors operated by SBI Remit, Jackson explores whether XRP could meaningfully support large-scale FX redirections — and what that would actually imply for the asset’s price, liquidity profile, and role in next-generation settlement systems.

XRP Reaches a Crossroads: Lewis Jackson Explains the ZK Rollup Dilemma
In Episode 009 of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson examines one of the most consequential inflection points in XRP’s history. His new research explores how automated market makers, zero-knowledge rollups, liquidity velocity, and emerging regulatory architectures will determine whether XRP matures into high-value settlement infrastructure — or remains a high-velocity payment token with limited price implications. This report summarises Jackson’s thesis, the global signals he cites, and why the XRP Ledger now stands at a structural crossroads.

The Four Undervalued Cryptos Completing the New Financial System
In his latest episode of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson explores a structural blind spot in the rapidly developing world of tokenized assets and programmable finance. Chainlink continues to integrate with SWIFT, DTCC, Euroclear and major custodians — becoming one of the most important interoperability layers in modern finance. But Jackson argues that Chainlink’s strengths also reveal what it cannot provide. Those missing layers — privacy, context, AI-driven compliance, and tokenized cash instruments — are now being filled by a small group of undervalued crypto projects. This report outlines the gaps, the projects filling them, and why they matter for the architecture of the new global settlement system.

XRP’s Conversion Role Tested: Lewis Jackson Examines the Competition
In Episode 007 of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson confronts one of the longest-standing questions in crypto: is XRP truly unique as a neutral FX conversion asset — or do other networks quietly compete for the same role? Drawing on BIS settlement guidance, operational resilience standards, compliance expectations, and live corridor data, Jackson compares XRP against XLM, USDC, RUNE, Bitcoin Lightning, Chainlink CCIP, Quant Overledger, and others. This report summarises his findings, clarifies what a conversion asset actually is, and examines why XRP’s real-world usage across SBI Remit corridors may position it distinctively within the coming tokenized financial system.

Why XRP Must Become Infrastructure, Not Currency
In one of his most consequential episodes of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson explains why XRP’s long-term role depends on a fundamental reclassification. Using BIS settlement-finality guidelines, CPMI–IOSCO standards, CBDC pilot data, and the global shift toward tokenized deposits, Jackson argues that XRP cannot succeed as a currency inside modern bank rails — only as infrastructure. This report summarises his findings and outlines the implications for XRP, RLUSD, the XRPL AMM, Chainlink, Quant, and the broader interoperable financial system now taking shape.

Why XRP May Become the Core Conversion Asset of Global Finance
In the latest episode of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson breaks down Ripple’s $500 million raise from Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities — and argues that the deal signals a fundamental shift in XRP’s future role. Drawing on BIS documentation, settlement-finality guidance, CBDC pilots, and Basel liquidity standards, Jackson outlines why XRP may evolve not as a currency, but as a conversion-layer infrastructure asset powering the next generation of global settlement. This report unpacks his analysis, the institutional signals behind it, and the implications for interoperability crypto, tokenized assets, and the Inevitable Portfolio.

Something Big Happened While Crypto Crashed — Chainlink Quietly Linked Two CBDCs
In Episode 004 of The Macro, crypto analyst Lewis Jackson explains why the latest market crash revealed something far more important than liquidations and volatility. While traders fixated on price action, Brazil and Hong Kong completed a cross-border wholesale CBDC test using Chainlink CCIP — a milestone that may prove far more consequential for the future of programmable settlement than any short-term crypto event. This report summarises Jackson’s findings, the weaknesses exposed during the crash, and the implications for interoperability crypto, XRP liquidity, stablecoin rails, and institutional settlement infrastructure.
