‘Next XRP’ - that’s hardly an endorsement! 

Helemaalwel

I lost a lot of money last 3/4 years just by hodling. I made the choice last week to sell everything and just buy altcoins where institutes are investing in. So I bought ETH, SOL en XRP.

There's not really "blue chips" in Crypto like there is in the stock market. There's Bitcoin, and then there's an altcoin market. Altcoins are fueled entirely by hype. There's tons of them that inflate from nothing every cycle, some stick around, most don't. XRP isn't any more blue chip than SOL or HYPE. Stuff rises to the top from the gutters. This won't really make any sense if you're not really involved in the space and are just looking for buys, but the things you want to discover are things just starting up. Look at X and see how organic the engagement is for it. Look at the sentiment. Look who's involved with the project, how it links to other things. This is where things like [Kaspa](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/kaspa) and [Tao](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bittensor) came from last cycle, it's also where things like Ordinals, sol memes and stuff like CROWN / Memecore etc came from. You want to buy things *before* the hype or *just* when the hype is beginning, but you won't know what that is unless you literally have your fingers on the pulse of the space. If you're a casual speculator, don't bother, by the time you hear about it on Reddit, all the profit opportunity is sucked out of it and people are unloading on you. You have to, as cliched as it sounds, literally do your own research, and you won't be any good at it unless you do it every day. There are no bluechip altcoins. Anything that's run up to the top isn't guaranteed to be anywhere near there in the next cycle, and the 101-1000 ranks are littered with the corpses of those past coins.

Buy $KTA instead, new l1 mainnet chain launcher september 2025 and is gonna be the next XRP

KenBgood

BTW it also wasn't letting me move XRP. Seems to be a bigger problem, no Trust here 😕

Xennenial

Ripple bank is a part of it. However, the $XRP token is not a part of it.

WickWatcher

XRP is a banker coin, you’re basically trusting Ripple not to dump on you. BTC is the only one where no single entity controls supply. Everything else is just a bet on a team’s roadmap.

JustStopppingBye

Theyll just come up with a new narrative spin, it happens everytime. Were at the point that XRP is secretly being used, they just wont say (perpetual NDAs).

"*30 of the 50* banks already use Ripple’s network, meaning XRP is quietly wired into SWIFT’s new infrastructure, whether SWIFT mentions it or not."

JustStopppingBye

"meaning XRP is quietly wired into SWIFT’s new infrastructure" lmaoooooooo. Completely false.

On the Jun 2, 2026 snapshot I’m looking at, BTC OI was $114.5B with funding at -0.2%, while ETH OI was $64.5B with funding at +0.4%. That’s why I’d separate the majors from the XRP/alt breakdown here: BTC/ETH liquidations can be mostly position-size + leverage mechanics, but an alt wiping hard during the same move can be more about crowded local positioning and thinner liquidity. My framework: don’t just rank coins by liquidation dollars. Normalize by OI, check whether funding was already stretched, then watch whether OI rebuilds while price fails to recover. Caveat is liquidation feeds are noisy and exchange coverage varies, so I’d treat this as a positioning clue, not a clean directional signal tbh.

The beggining of dynocoins comeback Litecoin, XRP, XMR, XLM.... but Litecoin will be the winner, because it is the oldest Proof of Work altcoin to exist

I think if you didn't sell at XRP's last peak, you missed your chance.

Famous-Ebb3041

In 2021, I became a Bitcoin believer, because I saw "the pattern". I've been a 100% HODLer ever since. There is a short term pattern I've noticed and hoping it happens this year as in cycles past and the 4 year cycle is the other pattern I'm waiting for. My sayings are: "HODL til you waddle!", "It can't go high enough, it can't go low enough", and "Buy red, never green!" But I also started in 2021... focused solely on the far future (4 years down the road) and ignoring everything between the peaks! I rode out the Crypto Winter like it was a balmy summer day... seriously. Everything I have is now in the red, except my BTC, SOL, and XRP. And I'm just eagerly waiting for the day when THOSE go red, too!

ARoundForEveryone

32? I sell 32 XRP in my sleep. Why is this an issue, then? 32 XRP is nothing in the grand scheme of things. So, $35-ish? That's what's up for discussion here? When you still have a million dollars worth of XRP on the sidelines? As a modern human, I understand why losing money isn't good. But as a millionaire, I don't understand why $35 is of reddit-worthy concern.

The_Minimum

You don't know what the word canonical means, do you? You don't understand how accounting works at the institutional level, do you? I don't think you even know what the Global Synchronizer is. Canton doesn't even need Chainlink. Canton only needs Chainlink for messaging and once that is fully integrated/launched then it is Canton who is going to be making a run at things like Swift. Like I said, you really don't grasp any of this and because you don't grasp any of this you keep conflating multiple concepts together. Canton isn't just another L1 chain, it was designed by people who actually understand finance and they worked with the institutions to create exactly what they wanted. Let me break this down in 5th grade language. The DTCC defines which record is legally authoritative. This has to be on a unified ledger, it cannot live on XRP and XLM and SOL and ETH or whatever else independently. XLM and XRP live on the edges, they provide the liquidity. The final reconciliation for settlement has to live on ONE UNIFIED LEDGER. That ledger is Canton. Until it gets to Canton, it's just an IOU or a promise. Link connects external data into Canton, then Canton's synchronizers produce the final, Canton-side settlement. That is why its called the "network of networks." So link doesn't sit on top of the pyramid, Canton does. Canton unifies everything into one official, compliant, legal accounting record. Like I said, you don't understand what is going on because you're thinking that this operates like some retail defi experiment. This is institutional level and institutional grade. These are not the same things. Once this clicks in your brain and everyone else's brain, people like me will have already frontran you while you're holding the bag of some other token that didn't actually capture value because you can't distinguish that utility =/= value capture.

JustStopppingBye

Thats a seccurency patent bought by DTCC. It's a framework for how a large financial institution like DTCC can control and manage tokenized assets across multiple blockchains. Theyre used as examples. This is the same patent that XRP cultist use to show a a fake connection to the DTCC.

Why would you remind me of XRP, I was happy again and had forgotten

XRP is your daddy

Careless-Bluejay-134

The devil is always in the details. Google intern writing a paper, umm "Googles" and sees QRL amongst others. "As we discuss in detail in later sections, some blockchains, such as the Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) \[63, 64\], Mochimo \[65\] and Abelian \[66\], rely exclusively on PQC. Others, such as Algorand, the XRP Ledger, and Solana, have made early experimental deployments of post-quantum protocols \[62, 67\]." I mean, who cares? I know you want to pump your bags and you might well succeed. I for one hope that not too many people get trapped, and it dies quietly on MEXC or whatever other shitcoin peddling site still lists it.

XRP is overhyped garbage

askolein

Buy BTC XMR ETH only real demand for these supplies Rest (XLM ALGO XRP LINK) is full bs

Mayoday_Im_in_love

If these partnerships mean more partners are setting up wallets and buying a minimum value then demand for XRP will go up as well as price. Similarly as network throughput goes up so will demand for XRP.

JustAnotherRandom611

The idea of just bouncing around the investments is more to the point - like how much did you actually make in Crypto and then have to pay in taxes to then buy super HIGH costs of AI stocks as they are going up. No on is able to truly TIME the markets and the BIG 7 are currently propping up the Market and even while BTC and ETH are down in the dumps - I'd argue better to just hold some positions in those, or hit some of the smaller but top 20-30 Coins because the returns their could be huge -- XRP, ADA, LINK are the three I'd definitely just throw a few bucks in and just hold for the next year or so in the event a bigger crypto bull run.

Xennenial

Don't buy any token issued by Ripple. I understand why people bought XRP 9-10 years ago, but if you are buying it in 2016 you have know fucking clue what you are doing.

Post is by: Sad_Significance2541 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/Stellar/comments/1tshy4u/time_to_start_thinking_seriously_about_xlm/ XLM is now partnered with the DTCC, this probably the most Historic Financial News the World has seen since Sub Prime Lending Crisis or the Founding of the Central Back. This is a complete overhaul of the worlds economic system spearheaded by the SDF. This means a substantial market share or majority share of the securities and bonds market will be flowing through the stellar blockchain. The DTCC is not one of the best clearing houses in the world. It is the BIGGEST clearing house in the world. Why would they have choosen XLM if they did not think it was the best defi platform to power the worlds economy. Most notably the NYSE, were not talking about the Chinese stock market here were talking about the Largest Stock Exchange on the planet. Furthermore let's take a look at other major partnerships, like visa and Mastercard. What person in the free world does not use these everyday? Who better to connect these remittance rails than a project already operating and live in over 190 countries worldwide. (SDF) We also have moneygram who abandoned XRP in favor of the Stellar Blockchain... I wonder why, could be many reasons but fact of the matter is the 2nd largest remittance leader in the world Moneygram is now partnered with XLM. We also have Wisdom Tree, Franklin Templeton and IBM. People... think about it for a minute!!! These are not small fish, these are the damn TITANs of Industry! People that have pets with better diets and Healthcare than most of your kids ever will. XLM is Fast, nearly free, transparent, non profit, scalable, us based, iso2022 compliant. SDF has been recognized as secure and efficient by world governments and ngos alike. And already has ties and infrastructure built to run governmental economies. I personally feel XLM with this partnership has not only secured its futures but has earned a spot in the top 3. I also believe we will make it and with this news. Sooner rather than later. I own several cryptos but I now believe more than ever XLM is going to the top. I know alot of naysayers out their will laugh. But just remember market makers profit on uncertainty, if people could truly predict them, they wouldn't be profiting off your money. I also believe there will be other cryptos players in the new system, but for the moment I can only be certain of XLM and couple of others. I believe we will easily break a dollar any day now, maybe $10 or $100. Im not sure in my lifetime if we would ever break a $1000. But I never imagined gamestop trading at $1000 or Dogecoin in the top 10 either. So who am I to say, my 8 ball batteries are still charging. But what I do know is that we are in the wild wild west of crypto and BTC is ancient and will someday be dethroned. I am hoping for XRP, but I feel XRP has not been making friends of traditional finance lately. Time will tell. A lot of people believe XLM and XRP are linked but we may be witnessing a decoupling. Mind you, I could be wrong about everything, ya never know and my fortune teller im pretty sure is on pharmaceuticals I think. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. Regardless I dont wanna lead anyone astray so at the end of the day you guys do you, stay safe and frosty out there everyone.

DTCC picked XLM. I'm not sure who picks XRP today

KodineDreamin

Lol, it only spiked 100% off a relatively historical support floor during a bear market. This coin has blown up 500%+ in the last 3 bullruns. Anyone in the community clearly saw this as a sell the news type event, anyone fomoing just found about XLM yesterday. If anything, people are doing the proper thing by DCAing. You can only consume so much FUD before you realize the institutions are slowly DCAing below your feet due to price manipulation. Explain to yourself, why are institutions that manage trillions of dollars of assets choosing to go live on Stellar before Solana or Ethereum? Who even builds on XRP? Not even joking, genuinely curious. There's a reason why XLM was created, and aside from popular FUD that it was made to make more money, it will be apparent to the entire world sooner or later why it was when you realize XRP was turned into a money-grab while the brains behind the project gave a finger to the venture-capitalist founder who wanted more money, so he went to make his own project called Stellar. The best analogy I can give is when you have a developer who builds something with passion and the producing executive calls them up and says they need money so they're going to launch it before it's even finished. So they hype everything up on an unfinished project, all because they can. That's XRP, the unfinished early-access beta release you got, while XLM is the original founder with the original dream who kept building and didn't compromise principles for greed.

McBurger

Catch me up to speed, what is the recent news with XLM / XRP!

john_doe_774

Its because people probably thought you were an XRP fanboy denying the fact that they dump tons monthly. Not what you meant at all, but how people probably took it.

No_Relationship1450

Old timers will know this. They would also know xlm is a fork of XRP so pretty much the same. The guys who created XRP had a falling out over the direction and split up. 

HSuke

Protocol-wise, they're the same. The main difference is that XRP is far more centralized, and Ripple dumps tons of XRP monthly.

HSuke

> A good time to sell the news Me, yesterday, before getting downvoted. Anyone who has studied XRP partnerships should've seen this coming for XLM, the other blockchain that uses the exact same consensus mechanism.

josef3110

While I do agree with the first sentence, I actually disagree with the second. The problem with degen money is, that it is lost after being spent. It may be that people fall for the next scam or meme coin again and again - but at some point in time they have lost everything they have, and stop spending. Other people are smarter and learn after one or more big losses, but they either stop with crypto activity at all, or go for the more serious legit project out there. Actually, one does not have to spend so much time to read and investigate for legit projects. They are pretty easy to find: 1) Have a proper decentralization. i.e. not XRP 2) Have a decent operational track record, i.e. no outages of the chain (not SOL) 3) are running independent from a CEX, i.e., not BNB. 4) does not have a shady creation background, i.e. not TRX.

HSuke

Remember all those XRP (and other token) partnerships over the years that went nowhere? Yeah, I don't think this will hold. It's just a temporary pump.

Bero_Survivor

October 10, 2025. Full liquidation. XRP leveraged position. But honestly — it wasn't because I missed a tweet. I had the information. I just had too much leverage on. The terminal idea is solid for traders who are information-limited. But for a lot of people who get liquidated, the problem isn't data. It's discipline. That said — the AI assistant angle is genuinely useful. Being able to immediately ask 'what's the market impact of this news' without switching tabs could save people in the moment. Worth building. Just know your audience. 🐻

brianmonarch

Well, I’m definitely coming off smarter just by grammar and spelling alone. Wow. Take a second and look at what you wrote. I’m only pointing this out because you’re talking down to me rather than having a civil debate. And usually people who can’t be nice and just talk facts, don’t know what they are talking about. They get defensive and have to say how intelligent they are, how their chakra is better…. and get on their soapbox and act like they are an educator of some type. It just shows your ego is out of whack. Ask your favorite LLM whether XRP has outperformed bitcoin in the last two years and get back to me. Here’s a shortcut for you… It has. And it’s probably going to continue to do so. What kind of return are you hoping to get on BTC? Do you think it’s going to 1 million dollars this cycle? Or are you more levelheaded and think it’s probably going to get to 200 to 250K? Which is like a 3X or so. You don’t think the best alt coins are going to do better than a 3X? Hey you might be right. Only time will tell. I’m not a fortuneteller. But I definitely think you’re wrong. But that’s a great thing. We don’t have to agree with each other. But when you talk down to people, it makes you look weak. I know it feels the opposite when you’re doing it. But nobody with facts needs to get up and grandstand the way you do. The great thing is these posts will still be here after we see what happens. We can come back and chat. :) Good luck!

CoinlessComedian

Thanks for your reply! Don’t you think HBAR or XRP has a growth potential? Im asking because the people who held HBAR from $0.02 are now in good profits even though the bear market.

brandonholm

Too many to count. Some that come to mind are ETH and other ERC-20s, LTC, XLM, and way back in the day were Feathercoin and Terracoin. I’m glad I never fell for the XRP or HBAR shams.

CoinlessComedian

Thanks for the input! Do you mind sharing what alts did you touch before? The reason I’m asking is I’m accumulating XRP & HBAR and I wouldn’t want to make a mistake! Thanks in advance.

BorisTheRabid

You already made the classic mistake once: selling because you needed the money, not because your thesis changed. The lesson isn't "I should've bought more XRP". The lesson is "don't invest money you'll need next year". As for starting now? If you're asking whether crypto will do another 1000x from here, probably not. If you're asking whether crypto could outperform a savings account over the next decade, I think that's a much more reasonable bet Personally I'd focus less on timing and more on building a system: buy regularly, self-custody, ignore noise. Tangem has been great for that. Makes moving coins off exchanges stupidly easy, which is where a lot of beginners get stuck.

Dangerous-Bed-5885

I been wondering how those crypto loans on Coinbase work. I have XRP in my Coinbase account and it shows I can use the XRP has collateral for a loan. Would I be able to use that loan to buy more XRP ? And then just pay off the loan little by little ?

Quinthyll

The one thing about this post that's noteworthy is the one most are missing. Quant. The DTCC is going to need interoperability in ways nothing else does, and that's the whole point on the QNT overledger. It's going to be invaluable by the point most realize the want to buy in. Is this a win for XLM? Obviously yes. Does it mean XLM wins and everything else loses? Nope. It doesn't even mean the DTCC won't have other blockchain partners. It just means XLM is the first announced. XRP, SOL, AVAX are almost certainly going to be a part also.

Ok-Suit541

I think we need to be careful about jumping to conclusions about SOL and XRP.

Post is by: Sad_Significance2541 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tqayav/xlm_and_dtcc_partnership_is_not_only_historic_but/ I believe so and here is my reasoning... Let me start by saying I dont really have any beef against most cryptos. I own several, but XLM is one my biggest holdings. Why did I choose XLM? 1. Transparency 2. Tested and Proven and found to be reliable 3. Fast and Nearly Free 4. Non-Profit 5. Only coin to date with real world application 6. Innovation and Upgrades This partnership is absolutely massive for XLM and the crypto industry as a whole. But there is a lot of misinformation out there. The DTCC is wall streets and the worlds largest clearing house. There is nothing superior to this and they have given XLM the first mover advantage in this market. Not XRP. Not ETH. Not SOL. And Not BTC. Will they someday? Maybe or maybe not only time will tell. The future is unclear, they have explored many chains and choosen stellar. What is clear to date though is this partnerships makes XLM without a doubt the most valuable token on the market outshining bitcoin in usage, adoption and utility and may even overtake btc in market cap. This partnership also shows me that there is also no longer any need for 99% of coins on the market. And that the government will do everything in its power to make sure XLM is a success and stays compliant. The same can not be said for any other crypto at this point. I currently own SOL, XRP, HBAR, ICP and Quant. I have liquidated my BTC and Eth and most my SOL into XLM and Quant. I am not here to lay disrespect towards other crypto projects. I am only here to see that they do not distract from what XLM has accomplished. I see alot of XRP and SOL shilling going on in the back of a momenumental XLM milestone. Please, if you have opinions that differ from mine please feel free to explain your logic and reason I would love to debate this. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Nice /s but XRP, Solana and Doge are actually American crypto . I just can’t wait for 2028 to come over for the next bull run when the orange labubu gets the boot . Doge from 50 cents is now less than 10 cents u/liquid_at

coachhunter2

The lawsuit against Ripple (to try and destroy XRP) which started the SEC crackdown on crypto, was filed under Trump

PuzzleheadedHuman

I work on market data at Coinpaprika, mostly on the engineering side. The XRP datapoint is a good one and it generalises. The bias in "$X liquidated" is that the figure is venue-dependent and gets reported off whichever exchange happened to publish a feed. If you want the real story you usually need per-asset numbers pulled from each venue directly, then normalised, otherwise one missing feed swings the total by a lot. The cleaner signals are usually a few layers down: per-asset long/short liq ratio, the spot-to-perp basis at the moment of the cascade, and whether spot volume on the same asset reacted on a comparable scale. On a 1.2% spot move with $50M of XRP longs flushed, the spot ladder usually shows the absorption side, and that is where the structural read lives.

MakCapital

Everything gets tokenized means everything. That doesn't mean everything in the world gets to go up in a "season". This is maturity. "Everything moves up because it's a token" no longer makes sense. The premium on something because it simply exists as token is done. As it should be. Previously, we primarily had a race of L1s as a currency and L1s as networks used for issuance, ownership, and trade. That race is in the final phases. Winners and losers mostly emerged. Now you actually need to know what you're buying, it's users, revenue, etc. Bitcoin won the publicly managed sov/currency war. This isn't going to change. Since winners of web3 infra are much more clear. Now we trade tokens managed by this infra. They get valued however you'd value the underlying ownership of whatever the token represents. See pre-ipo token performance as many here still traded garbage like XRP. OP's post doesn't even begin to make sense without defining asset types. Everything is crypto. Everything is a token. Everything valued on what you actually own. Just as markets have operated forever. The number of assets as tokens doesn't change anything. 40m tokens just means 39.999 million exist with no clear mechanisms of price appreciation. Easy to avoid as investments. HYPE is the perfect example of market maturity in action. It's not at all hard to determine why it is crushing competing networks or tokens with garbage ownership in price. It's not at all because the asset is a crypto token. That's over.

Ok-Suit541

Go XRP!

LiquidityCompass

Exactly. Why would Russia use a payment system tied to a token largely controlled by a foreign private company instead of building its own system? Much more likely they use blockchain tech without needing XRP itself.

Zeep-Xanflorps-Peace

Dev here, I can’t speak to the others but HBAR has real application and is currently being used at the infrastructure level. As for XRP, who knows what the future holds but if this was a story, XRP would have a lot of institutional plot armor.

Longjumping-Bonus723

Just read about the partnerships that projects like XRP XLM HBAR LINK QNT ALGO etc have :)

hypersignals

Nice catch on the XRP number. $50M of long liquidations on a 1.2% move tells you the leverage was stacked way past what the price action justified, which is the real tell, not the headline total. The whale-into-forced-selling pattern is visible on Hyperliquid too: when a cascade hits, you can watch a handful of large wallets add size on the limit book while retail gets flushed at market. Tracking net position changes of the top wallets the day after a big liquidation print is a cleaner signal than the liquidation dollar figure by itself

Longjumping-Bonus723

Utility usage will resurrect it. But the clarity act is required for that. If you look closely there are a lot of actual usecases for crypto (banks, AI integrity, supply chains, carbon markets, decentralized ID etc.). It will pump XRP XLM HBAR LINK QNT etc.

Outrageous-Rub-4606

XRP. Made decent money on it early on. Then I got too confident, went leveraged, and lost everything on October 10, 2025. So no, I don't hold it anymore. It holds a different kind of memory now.

Post is by: Bitter-Entrance1126 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1toh3bb/the_950m_liquidation_data_hides_something/ total headline: $950M in 24h liquidations, mostly longs. boring. everyone saw that. the interesting part is the breakdown. BTC and ETH liquidations were mechanical, 2-3% drop clips leveraged longs, totally expected. but XRP had $50M+ wiped in long liquidations while only dropping 1.2%. that's massive liquidation for a tiny move. people were way too levered on XRP. meanwhile LINK had a whale open 162K LINK ($1.53M) long on Hyperliquid plus $4.73M in pending limit orders. DOGE had a $2.75M whale long opened the same day. while retail was getting destroyed, specific wallets were targeting individual alts with concentrated positions. retail gets flushed, whales selectively accumulate into forced selling. those whale entries tend to outperform, they're buying at artificially deflated prices from liquidation cascades, not from genuine selling. not saying ape into LINK or DOGE. saying the flow data looks more like selective accumulation than panic. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

AbsorbedMango99

your friend probably saw it pump and is suddenly an expert lol. XRP is the token tied to Ripple, pitched as a cross-border payments play for banks. it moves in big cycles, pumps then bleeds for ages. don't go all in on anything you can't explain in one sentence, only put in what you're cool losing.

SOL maybe, but the XRP ride may be over.

Foreign-Put1361

If you’re going to hold for years I would just DCA into Bitcoin and then do some research on which platforms you would want to put money into. But I would put a majority of that 20% in Bitcoin maybe put 5% in some alts like SOL/XRP

Leonardns

Never go “all in” on any crypto because a friend said so. XRP has been around for years and does have real partnerships/use cases, but it’s also heavily driven by hype, regulation news, and market sentiment. Best advice: learn what it actually does, why people believe in it, and what risks come with it before putting money in. If you can’t explain the investment simply yourself, you probably shouldn’t go all in yet.

scaste9

XRP in 2017, of course I sold everything and moved to BTC

ShipWreck47

Take that money and invest in a stock like Vanguard. Crypto is a scam. XRP isn't going anywhere. Get out while you can..

toniistheworst

yea 3 dollars ain't gonna happen anytime soon lol. It's a lot more likely XRP recovers the whole pump right back down into the 0.5$ range before it even gets close to the highs xD

Buying crypto at high :( Holding ETH, SOL, XRP, Lite, Cardano, Dogecoin Hoping to recover soon so that I can sell at buying price

Saffuran

It's not FUD because true FUD is generally baseless (hence the uncertainty portion) pointing out the cyclical nature of Cryptocurrency, the seasonality - which is heavily reinforced by structural data - exists to build certainty and to allow people to invest smarter. Bitcoin (and crypto at large) isn't doing anything it hasn't already done before and in fact it is right on schedule. It's also not FUD to say that 80-90% of all cryptocurrencies are shitcoin scams meant to seperate desperate stupid people from their money. I dabble with small amounts in small projects that I like from time to time but even most of those small projects don't end up making it. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are about the only projects with real staying power - TRON performs well but I really don't like Justin Sun, I am highly skeptical of XRP and Cardano/ADA for different reasons. The only longer-term top-20ish coins I think will survive and grow long term are ZCash (and related assets like ZKS), LINK, and AVAX. The "small" projects that I think are worth dabbling in - but the risk/reward will always be higher with emphasis on the risk - will be things like ONDO, Uniswap (exchanges tend to win long term), and maybe JASMY, depending on how macroeconomics continue to play out in Japan relative to Cryptocurrency. To me, most everything else is higher risk than their peers in this list but with the same level of return (so why take the higher risk), straight up useless memecoins, and lastly just blatant scams like what Trump and his family kept shoving onto the market in 2025 (WLFI, TRUMP, MELANIA.)

1.Bitcoin ,this should be your largest bag From here you can start going into Alt coins like Etherium, XRP, HBAR, XLM these seem to be the way to go 2. Do your own research and focus on self custody with a cold storage wallet 3. Prepare for scams , no one will give you 10,000 XRP if you give them 5,000 its all bullshit 4. Influencers online will give some crazy reasons why XRP is going to 10K , here's the fact ,NOBODY knows what's about to happen people are seldom right . And if they are it was luck not some crazy insider info. 5. Tell no one you what you have .

I appreciate the reply, and understand that liquidity isn't in the space rn. What I'm wrestling with on a macro level is as transactional information becomes more efficient and secure to manage using the 'block-mesh' fabric, (think AI agents, credit cards, system sensors, etc.), and effectively all transactions of value migrate to a self-managed system, will the costs become so small that there does not need to be liquidity to support it, or will there be some kind of institutional epiphany and gold rush the drives prices of utility tokens up to meet demand. I'm thinking of blue-chips like LINK, HYPE, XRP, etc.

Buying XRP 😞 such a scam and I wish I'd have realized it sooner

Buying XRP at $3

If crypto can’t be mass adopted it better be the hidden backbone and new invisible hand that most huge volume faster than anything in history XRP - HBAR - ZEBEC 24/7 stock market 3-5 second settlement of funds anywhere Get paid by the minute - EOD And more

Read through the entire Clarity Act and BIS projects: Agora, mBridge, and Nexus. Also read DTCC's Tokenization Platform (2026) and the IMF XC Platform. It all just so happens to align with On-Demand Liquidity created by Ripple. ODL, often branded as Ripple Payments, is a commercial product built by Ripple, the company that uses the XRPL and XRP to solve the cross-border payment problem.

BiscuitInFlight

The 'any other crypto' statement is inherently false. Bitcoin, Solana, ethereum, USDC, XRP (to name a few) have real-world uses, not only in blockchain solving, but also in lowering transaction costs for banks, security, and tethering. Shib is a meme. A husk full of dead promises. The kid that peaked in high school.

Should I buy more XRP or btc

I just shot for BTC ETH XRP and PAXOS G. And just add to them when I can

I've bought Bitcoin, Dogecoin & XRP forever. Holding forever. But thanks for the advice!!! 😊

Simco100doge30000

Man if I had the extra cash right now I'd be buying everything all the way up until the clarity Act especially XRP I think that one's going to really set up pretty nice and just hold them. Just pull some here and there never sell them all

stefansilva_xrp

Im talking strictly price action. ETH is dumping the hardest and pumping the least compared to the others same thing XRP did until Q4 2024.

Fit-Tiger-6448

I think the whole crypto market is done. BTC will stay the longest but most if not all Altcoins have seen their ath. Now it‘s all dying. Slow but steady. XRP will never see 2$ again like ETH will never see 4000 again. This year XRP will go below 1 and ETH under 1000. It can be over in 2028. The market is exhausted.

coinluv

Diversifying never works for me. I end up losing money. Now I stick with Bitcoin but have bags with XRP and ZBCN filled with hopium.

BriefWay4604

I had 35-50 coins from 2017-2023. Most of it was XRP though. Now I’m more focussed on a few projects and moved a lot of my holdings into Stocks. Holdings are now (with BTC 40% of my portfolio): BTC, Doge, KAS, ALGO, LINK, HBAR, XRP and Shib.

txpvcoach

What is the bull case for XRP?

suckyuhhmada

The ETH/XRP comparison is interesting but the mechanics are a bit different. XRP's underperformance in 2018-2024 was partly structural -- Ripple's escrow releases created persistent sell pressure that ETH doesn't face in the same way. ETH has been dealing more with a narrative gap: it's the dominant smart contract layer but hasn't had a clean story to rally retail around since the Merge. That said, the ETH/BTC pair has historically consolidated before larger moves, and the ecosystem breadth in staking, L2s, and tokenized assets is still unmatched. One thing worth watching is how exchange-side infrastructure handles ETH across pairs -- on BitMart for example the sub-account system lets you isolate strategies across different trading pairs which makes rotating between ETH and BTC positions a lot cleaner operationally.

Cultural-Candy3219

I think the missing piece is dispersion. People say altseason like the whole long tail moves together, but this cycle looks more like a barbell: ETF-accessible names and a few very liquid L1s get attention, while everything else needs its own catalyst. High BTC dominance does not stop individual alt rallies. It just means the default bid has not broadened. If ETH/BTC is still weak and stablecoin liquidity is not expanding, I’d be careful calling every SOL, XRP, or TON move a real rotation. Some of it is just isolated liquidity chasing the only names it can fit into.

BenzinaGrandeCapital

I see this post come up every once in a while. And people love to dog XRP holders but .... do you guys understand... how MASSIVE 67,000% is? And that's not even getting in at the bottom tick in 2017, that's just randomly buying this coin with a decent entry. Besides..... If you bought the bottom in 2020 you're up 3,000%. Of if you just got a super basic entry at .30 youre up 1000% I don't understand why XRP gets dogged so much when there are other coins that have not made any moves of 1000% or more and been around just as long such as XLM, or other coins within the similar space like XDC or HBAR. You know since 2017 the same time period BTC is only up 8,000%. That's nowhere close to 67,000%. And if you wanted to be accurate and bottom tick xrp that jumps to over 120,000%. https://preview.redd.it/tg29lsu7a03h1.png?width=1835&format=png&auto=webp&s=381db57837e9a930b3f39cb841d06dc063136a7f

Post is by: Outside-Annual-3610 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1tlxrtz/if_you_were_building_a_pairtrading_universe_for/ \*\*TL;DR\*\* I’ve built a statistical-arbitrage scanner that runs against roughly 250 large-cap US equities — the full rig: Engle-Granger cointegration, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck mean-reversion fits, half-life and Hurst filters, plus those frozen exit plans we lock in at entry. It works on equities because shorting is cheap, the universe is clean, and the relationships behave like dogs on a leash — they wander but they come back. Extending the same engine into crypto has delivered the same quiet revelation every honest quant eventually meets: the universe the model prices and the one a real account can actually go both long \*and\* short in are two different animals entirely. Before I publish any “Top 100” crypto pairs list, I thought I’d ask the people who actually trade this stuff for a living: what’s the right venue + instrument + denominator stack to build a repeatable edge around? \*\*What the numbers are showing\*\* We’re sitting on roughly 1,600 cointegrated candidate pairs pulled from spot data. About 900 of them are clearing the eligibility gates right now — Bond Strength, Hurst, half-life, p-value — all the usual filters. If anything, the mean-reversion statistics look cleaner than they do on US equities: bigger residuals, faster cycles, half-lives often landing in that comfortable 2-3 week window instead of the 4-8 we see in equities. Signal density is high. The execution path, however, is where the probability surface starts to bend in ways the back-test never quite warned you about. \*\*Where the model and reality quietly diverge\*\* A proper pair trade needs a clean, reliable short on the relative outperformer. For most altcoins, that published “USD price” you see on the chart is not really a USD price — it’s the USDT book multiplied by whatever the prevailing USDT/USD rate happens to be. Below the top twenty names, actual USD spot volume is somewhere between one and five percent of the USDT volume. Below the top two hundred, the USD book is essentially theoretical. That leaves the executable universe forking into three practical tiers: |Tier|Tokens|Realistic short instrument|Real-world cost| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |Top \~20|BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP etc.|Perps on Binance/Bybit/OKX or spot on Coinbase/Kraken|Funding 5-15 % APR typical, ±50-150 bps drift over a 20-day hold| |\~20 to \~150|Mostly USDT-quoted|Perps on major CEXs + some DEX perps (Hyperliquid, dYdX, GMX)|Funding more volatile, depth thinner, 10-50 bps slippage per leg| |Below \~150|USDT-only|Spot margin borrow (if listed and borrowable at all)|Borrow APR that can quietly eat the entire modelled edge| Some of the highest-ranked statistical pairs I’m seeing sit squarely in tier three. Which is the honest way of saying the strategy works beautifully — on paper. \*\*The question I keep coming back to\*\* If you were designing a published “top N” crypto pair-trading universe — the way a US equity quant would calmly publish a top-250 list — how would you actually scope it? A few sub-questions I’d value real-operator views on: 1. \*\*Denominator.\*\* USDT is clearly the unit of account for something like ninety percent of global crypto volume, yet it remains a private-company IOU with a modest history of partial depegs. Do you build the entire universe USDT-quoted and treat USDT/USD as its own separate risk factor, or do you split into a tight USD tier and a wider USDT tier? 2. \*\*Instrument.\*\* Spot pairs or perpetual futures? Perps solve the shorting problem cleanly — no inventory, no locate, funding is simply the cost — but that funding rate is live, dynamic, and perfectly capable of flipping sign mid-trade. Does it make sense to publish a pair signal whose true “borrow cost” remains unknown at the moment of entry? 3. \*\*Venue cut-off.\*\* Do you insist both legs have a liquid perpetual listing on at least one major venue (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid, dYdX), or do you accept spot-margin borrow as a fallback for names that only clear one side? My instinct leans toward the stricter rule — anything that cannot be reliably shorted gets a quiet “not retail-shortable” badge and drops out — but I’m genuinely interested in the counter-argument. 4. \*\*Jurisdiction.\*\* US-accessible venues (Coinbase, Kraken, Hyperliquid, dYdX, GMX) versus the rest of the world (add Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget). Two separate products, or one product with a venue tag per pair? 5. \*\*Top 10 / Top 100 framing.\*\* On equities we publish a top-250 because that is roughly the cohort where cointegration holds and execution costs are uniformly cheap. Crypto feels chunkier: the top twenty majors behave like one big BTC-beta asset class, the fifty-to-one-hundred-fifty alt-L1s, L2s and DeFi names carve out their own sector cohorts, and the long tail starts to look a lot like gambling. Does a single “Top 100” still make sense, or are we actually looking at two or three category-specific lists? \*\*Where I’m leaning at the moment\*\* Two coverage tiers, labelled with complete honesty: \- A \*\*USD-quoted tier\*\* of roughly twenty-five to forty tokens, built around what a US retail account can actually execute cleanly on Coinbase or Kraken, with optional long-only or inverse-substitution framing. \- A \*\*USDT/perp-quoted tier\*\* built around tokens that carry a liquid perpetual listing on at least one of the major venues, with both clean spread P&L \*and\* funding-adjusted P&L shown side by side. I keep circling back on whether to publish anything at all for the long-tail, spot-borrow-only tier. The statistical relationships are genuinely interesting; the execution realities are genuinely brutal. \*\*Deeper plumbing available\*\* If anyone wants the longer version — Tether redemption mechanics, depeg history, perpetual funding arithmetic, US versus non-US friction stack laid out side by side — I wrote a more detailed piece on it. Happy to drop the link in the comments rather than clutter the body. \[Optional image: clean two-column chart showing “modelled universe” (\~900 eligible pairs) versus “retail-shortable universe by tier” (top-20 / top-150 / long-tail). I’ll attach if I run it.\] \--- \*\*Question to the people actually running systematic strategies in crypto right now:\*\* what venue + instrument + denominator combination did you ultimately settle on, and what do you wish you’d known about the funding-rate cost before you went live? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Bitcoin is the only real escape. Crypto.com froze my XRP. Forget altcoins, forget exchanges. Bitcoin stored in a cold wallet is the only true ownership.

Ok_Glass_6858

If what you said was true XRP would be worth what all the YouTubers you watch say it is. I’m sure you just watch Jake claver and get hyped up every month he says it’s gonna be worth 10,000$. It’s not only tokenomics but basic economics, economics will always be apart of the future buddy.

It’ll sit in XRP’s shadow

"Is the dream of crypto functionality gone?" No, but you don't need altcoins for the "dream of crypto functionlaity". Almost everything you'd want in a crypto can be done by BTC with layer2 solutions. For stability, stable coins are perfect. Then you have a few 'mojor' alt coins like Eth (for smart contracts) and XRP, Monera, etc. The truth is, 99% of those alt coins brought nothing to the table. So were destine to be worth that same amount.

brianmonarch

Right? The funny thing is XRP is so polarizing even when you state facts people downvote it. “Don’t tell me that! I hate it! I don’t wanna hear the truth!” 🤣
