Brandon Avergon spent years working with the Rockefeller Global Family Office and other ultra-wealthy families, and he's seen firsthand what happens when people accumulate serious wealth but skip the planning. The consequences are brutal: 40% federal estate taxes, plus state taxes that can hit another 16%, creditors coming after everything, and families stuck in probate while assets get liquidated to pay bills.

This conversation breaks down the real mechanics of protecting generational wealth, specifically for people holding digital assets. Brandon explains why private placement life insurance (PPLI) has become the go-to structure for crypto holders who want tax-deferred growth, asset protection, and the ability to pass wealth to the next generation without getting destroyed by estate taxes.

We get into the specifics: what triggers the need for planning, how trust structures actually work, why the investor control doctrine can sink your entire tax strategy if you're not careful, and what it takes to set up compliant custody for digital assets inside life insurance policies. Brandon also covers the difference between onshore and offshore PPLI, how to access cash from your policy without triggering taxes, and why funding strategies matter more than most people realize.

The Vanderbilts and Rockefellers both built massive fortunes. Only one family still has theirs. The difference came down to estate tax planning. If you're sitting on crypto gains and haven't thought about what happens when you're gone, your family is going to pay for it.

If XRP underpins the settlement of global derivatives, its utility, not speculation, could drive historic price appreciation. The question isn’t if it’s possible, but if you’re ready for that scale of adoption.

A Wyoming LLC can help you hold crypto without putting your name all over it.

Set it up the right way, and your personal info stays off public records.

At the same time, you can still open legit bank accounts and build real relationships.

Privacy doesn’t have to mean isolation.

Do you have a plan for your crypto profits?

Look at the numbers. Less than 7% of the planet holds crypto. You're already rare. Most people will never understand what you saw early. Utility assets like XRP, XLM, HBAR, AXL, XDC and more have tons of use cases, partnerships and a whole lot of room for price appreciation over the next few years.

Traditional retirement advice says save for 30 years, hope you hit $5 million, then live off 4% withdrawals while paying taxes on everything. It doesn't work anymore because the system changed but the advice didn't.

The new math is simpler. Get assets that appreciate faster than your lifestyle costs. Borrow against them at 20-30% loan-to-value. Use a portion to fund an annuity that covers your interest payments. Live off the rest, tax-free. Refinance as the asset appreciates. Never sell. Never trigger a taxable event.

People are doing this right now with stocks, real estate, etc. Institutional crypto lending finally matured enough to do it with digital assets. The infrastructure exists. The wealthy already know this.

For simple math, say XRP hits $100 and you're holding 10,000, that's $1 million. Borrow 30% against it, that's $300,000 in liquidity. Invest enough of it in a strategy to cover your interest at current rates. You've got the rest to deploy, tax-free.

But one thing that I keep driving home, is that most holders still have their XRP sitting in their personal name. One lawsuit. One car accident. One angry ex-spouse. A court orders you to liquidate and you're done. Or you die and your family finds a flash drive they don't understand. Or you get audited and can't prove the corporate veil you thought you had.

95% of LLCs get pierced in court. People set them up on Legal Zoom, never hold meetings, co-mingle personal and business transactions, and wonder why they have zero protection.

The real opportunity isn't hitting a price target. It's understanding that appreciating assets are the golden goose. You keep it alive, borrow against it, and feed your family forever.

Here's what you do now:

-Calculate your actual freedom number (2x your dream lifestyle costs, not some random figure)
-Move assets into a Wyoming LLC before they 100x and the tax basis skyrockets
-Set up institutional custody if you're holding six figures or more in value
-Work with actual professionals who understand digital assets, not your cousin who "does taxes"
-Build relationships with banks now, before you need to move $10 million and they freeze your account

Most people reading this won't do any of it. They'll keep their XRP on an exchange, sell when it hits their number, pay a bunch in taxes, buy liabilities, and wonder where it went. That's fine. More assets for the people who see it clearly.

Some of you get it. You've been accumulating while everyone else panicked. You understand XRP isn't speculation, it's infrastructure for a multi-trillion dollar settlement system. You know what happens when the derivatives market needs transparent, instant settlement with compliance built in.

You're not hoping for a lottery ticket. You're positioned for an inevitability.

The choice is simple. Spend the next five years building structures that protect what you've accumulated. Or spend it planning your exit and hoping nothing goes wrong before you cash out.

Build it right or watch it disappear.

If you already know you need help with this and you're holding enough that the structures make sense, send my team at Digital Ascension Group an email and we will get you plugged in with the best professional network for protecting your digital assets.

The next five years will separate people who got rich from people who stayed rich.
