Discussion has intensified within the XRP community regarding that date, which some market analysts believe could be a watershed moment for Ripple. Dunes, a crypto expert at X, highlighted how several circulating puzzles and digital media posts point to March 22, 2026 as a key date. The analyst has found some clues in these puzzles that connect to macro financial events and important Developments around Ripple And XRP.
Why March 22nd Could Be Important for Ripple and XRP?
On March 14, Dune published A breakdown on xrp community Left clues that independently point to a pivotal moment for Ripple and XRP on the same date, March 22nd. Dunes said he decoded a series of cryptic social media posts over the past few years and connected the dots, revealing that the patterns within them may be more than mere coincidence.
The first figure referenced by Dunes is ‘Babacags’, a well-known puzzler in the XRP community. He highlighted a post in which BabaKugs wrote: “Stop looking at February, it’s actually April.” The post also pointed to an image by another famous puzzler, @bearableguy123, titled “So it begins”, which prominently featured the numbers 2-14.
Dunnes argued that 2-14 should not be interpreted as February 14. Instead, he suggests that 14 represents a day and 2 represents a month in the Ethiopian calendar system. Under that framework, the dates 2-14 also align with October 24, 2025 on the standard Gregorian calendar.
According to the analyst, this date matches the real-world event that marks the day. ripple primeThe leading brokerage platform built after Hidden Road takeoverWent live. Dunne’s analysis describes Ripple Prime as the central mechanism of a new financial system XRP liquidity Plays an irreplaceable role.
Another part of the analysis references an old riddle shared by BabaKugs, who wrote: “JB is 13 in 4 days.” Dunnes connects this clue to a cryptic post in 2020 from another puzzler, @TheFirstDecider, who also made a post saying, “Last chance to buy 4 days after my hero JB dies.”
Specifically, analysts interpret JB as japanese bonds and links the timeline in secret messages to a bank of japan rate decision Meeting on 18th and 19th March. Counting forward four days from that window, it lands directly on March 22, 2026, which also corresponds to the 13th day of the 7th month in the Ethiopian calendar, known as Magabit.
Dunes noted that @bearableguy123 was the puzzler who introduced the Ethiopian calendar trick to the XRP community, whose posts date back to 2018. He said that @bearableguy123 had made a famous xrp price prediction This can only be explained using the Ethiopian system, where 2018 in that calendar corresponds to 2026 in the standard Gregorian calendar.
Finally, the third set of clues highlighted in Dunnes’ report comes from Mr. Poole, who told followers to “watch April, May, June and July closely” in 2021. After which, he wrote another message, saying, “Reset will be fast, financial reset will happen overnight.”
The analysis states that those four months correspond to the fourth to seventh months of the Ethiopian calendar. The seventh day ends on the 13th, which translates to March 22, 2026 in the Gregorian calendar. Dunnes further wrote that the timestamp of Mr. Pool’s original post also included numerical references pointing to the same date and year.
Japanese bonds and Bitcoin align along the timeline
In his post, Dunes also highlighted an episode of the American TV show, ‘The Simpsons’, in which a slot machine displays triple 7s at a time when a better utility coin overtakes Bitcoin. Specifically, the last known communication of Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of BitcoinRecorded on 26 April 2011.
Counting exactly 777 weeks from that date, March 17, 2026 comes one day before the Bank of Japan’s rate-fixed meeting. Because of this alignment, Dunes questioned whether March 17 could be Bitcoin’s last day as king of cryptocurrencies.
Supporting his analysis, Dunnes highlighted that The Simpsons has a notable history of making accurate predictions, including real-world events. Donald Trump’s presidency. Based on the alignment of interpreted puzzles and clues, the analyst estimates that if Japanese bonds break on March 18, it could cause significant market volatility.
