VivoPower Accumulates XRP at 84% Discount, Unveils 'DAT 2.0' Playbook
At an XRP Meetup in New York ahead of Ripple’s Swell, Adam Traidman — VivoPower’s board advisor and former Ripple board member — outlined a “DAT 2.0” or “anti-DAT” blueprint to accumulate XRP reportedly at roughly 84% off while simultaneously extracting on-chain yield. The remarks, shared in a clip by Crypto Eri on X, framed the move as a tactical use of a public company balance sheet to buy discounted XRP and generate yield rather than simply holding spot exposure.
Traidman contrasted DAT 2.0 with earlier digital-asset treasury plays that ran hot this year and now resemble the investment-trust boom-and-bust cycle. For investors and XRP watchers, the approach signals growing institutional creativity around crypto treasuries and could influence market sentiment ahead of Swell, especially if other public companies adopt similar buy-and-yield models.
