XRP

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.

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.

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.

I didn’t sell my XRP at 3.50, I still sold at 3.15 tho!!!!!

Bero_Survivor

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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

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.)

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 .

RussChival

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ok-Suit541

Select_Aide_6548

"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!” 🤣

siorge

have you been sleeping under a rock for the past 5 years? who do you expect will benefit the most from the current market trends? XRP and ADA?

Cultural-Candy3219

The XRP comparison feels too simple to me. ETH underperforming ETH/BTC is real, but the reasons are different: L2 fee leakage, weaker fee burn, uncertainty around value capture, and investors chasing cleaner narratives elsewhere. XRP had a very different overhang and then a very different reflexive catch-up trade. For ETH I’d watch whether mainnet fees and blob demand recover, whether L2 activity actually feeds value back to ETH, and whether ETF or staking flows improve relative to BTC. If those stay weak, ETH can keep looking heavy even while developers keep building on the stack. So yeah, it can lag for longer than people expect, but “new XRP” probably hides more than it explains.

Ok_Freedom3290

If you look at the raw data, the capital rotation is definitely bypassing ETH right now. We track institutional flow and relative momentum z-scores across the top 50 assets. While BTC is absorbing ETF inflows and SOL is capturing retail/meme velocity, ETH is sitting in a 'compression' regime. Our models currently heavily penalize ETH longs because its correlation to BTC has decoupled negatively during trend-continuation days. It's not necessarily 'dead' like XRP was for years, but from a purely quantitative standpoint, the opportunity cost of holding ETH right now is massive compared to the momentum leaders.

brianmonarch

XRP has outperformed ETH over the last couple years. And that’s a fact.

Traditional_Chain_48

Which fucking cycle? As if it is predicted that it goes up. Look at the fucking charts. Only BTC and ETH went up and down. All the others including DOGE and XRP had one hopium pump from Trump's election and from the rest it is flat with a sharp decline in the beginning.  Tell us you are a grifter without telling us that you are a grifter.  Keep hoping with your clarity act, but remember the rest of the world already has a clarity act.

Binance alone does more than 100M daily volume on XRP. Do you really think selling 150k will be difficult?

Melowicz

Bitcoin and Etherum! Thinking also about BNB, SOL and XRP, but i don't trust these coins enough...

konawolv

if the world at large adopts it for cross border payments, the government is likely to peg XRP's price to stabilize transactions, setting a floor to the price on the open market. That pegged price will probably afford the platform the necessary throughput to support the global market.

Classic-Direction778

The opportunity cost question is the honest one and most long term holders avoid it. The ones who last aren't holding on hope. They restructured the position so waiting has a return attached to it. Yield through platforms like Nexo on idle holdings means the clock isn't just running, it's compounding. That changes the psychology entirely. You're not bagging, you're earning while you wait for the thesis to play out. The XRP holders who are purely sitting on price appreciation with no yield layer are the ones feeling it most right now imo.

XRP is really struggling to accept that 200 weekly EMA ($1.40) but once it does it can quickly pump to the 50 weekly (currently at about $1.80)

Sternsnet

For starters your statement is outright false. XRP has not been the same price for years. There have been trend movements and I personally have made a lot of money on XRP. If you pay attention to it it is quite reliable in doing what it is setting up to do and offers really good money making opportunities and it appears it may be setting up again. Look for XRP to trend down to the $1 ish level give or take. From there if it breaks above the trend line we could be in for a massive move up. Somewhere between $3 and $8. If interested check out the guy I follow who gives very reliable analysis, CoinsKid on YouTube. If not interested keep missing out.

I invested in XRP for cycles and cycles only, buy low sell high, however I do have high hope for some other alt coins I’ve invested in. I’ll ride the waves for sure this next bear wave will probably be 1-2 years though

WiseSmartTree

XRP and BTC are tracking with each other. They are both crossing down 200 and 50 day averages. Expect a drop in both over the next week or two.

WiseSmartTree

You cannot look at things in isolation. First off, XRP and BTC are tracking with each other. As BTC drops, so does XRP and vice versa. XRP has NOT been at the same price for 8 years … Go look at the charts. Secondly, both BTC and XRP have a crossing of 200 and 50 day averages. Expect a drop in both prices and take it as a sign to buy when the price drops. Thirdly, these are both good coins to hold onto long term. So buy what you can when the price drops. When the price spikes, sell 25% to 50% of it, and wait for the next drop. Lastly, this is not financial advice, but a bit of education about the market movement. My state of mind is actually very positive. And I am expecting to buy both coins in the near future. Another thing you can do, is put up both coins in liquidity pools against USDC for instance and make money on a portion of your holdings every day. You just have to understand that it never was buy and hold forever because it is going to the moon.

Strong-Al

XRP is a centralized shitcoin for bank to bank transfers, and they did an excellent job of telling everyone the whole world is going to use their centralized shitcoin, and then it didn't happen.

ElderWarriorPriest

I don't know what to say...i bought XRP at .40 per coin in 2020 and bought some more on the way to ATH s in 2021. I sold 46% of my XRP holdings (about 40,000 coins) and i did really well. I have bought back in and sold a few more times. I am in profit and have had fun doing it. I never considered buying a bunch and holding it, maybe a really long time and just praying it went to the moon.

MiaTaude589

ETH and BTC I'm honestly fine with. been holding since 2021, not trading it. the question I ask myself is not when will it moon but would I be OK holding this for 5 more years and the answer is yes. XRP I'd never touch, no real use case I can see outside speculation. alts are where the bag holding gets sad ngl

The thing is that even if XRP became the absolute worldwide adopted bridge for payments, the value of the token itself is still mostly speculative... We buy because we hope others will buy it in the future. Not saying this is bad, many markets are and have been speculative for a long time and people get wealthy. Adoption will correlate with price as long as we believe it does, but not because the underlying value of the token has increased in value.

I’ve been in it since 2020 and I think I’ll stay. Although it’s going to take time, maybe 10+ more years and I’m okay with that. What keeps me going is understanding how aligned Ripple and XRP’s use case is with global financial institutional plans. For starters, 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. And before you light up about being a cultist, you should know that I don't read alt coin articles and other crazy bullshit that makes you believe XRP will be some absurd price. I track real data and facts. The references I listed above are what's actually happening in the financial world of digital assets, not manufactured hype. I’d encourage you to read them. I mean really read and understand them. Most people don’t because it’s boring as all hell and isn’t tit-jacking in the slightest. It does provide insight on just how globally huge of a shift we’ll be seeing in global finance soon. Most crypt investors are tired of waiting, and rightfully so. This shift is like trying to turn a massive ship though and it’s extremely slow. Nature of the beast. I'll finish with one more thought. Yesterday 3/19/26, Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Federal Reserve to open FED master account access to crypto firms. Ask yourself why Ripple already filed their application last year and already have a USOCC charter and NYDFS trust in place. IMHO, it’s not a coincidence. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/05/integrating-financial-technology-innovation-into-regulatory-frameworks/ I’m fine with being wrong, but that’s my bet and I’m sticking to it.

I think with XRP and any of the coins besides Bitcoin, I think we desperately need another bull run. We need another 2021-style bull run for any of these coins to really pick up. I think the best idea is just to hold until then, but in the meantime, really focus on stacking Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most important. Bitcoin is number one if you're gonna do crypto. And the meme coins, I think the next bull run will be a potential exit point for any of them.

I bought at about $3 after I stopped watching Brandon Biggs for a few months and missed his XRP call-out at $0.41

Consider coins with proposed real utility - hyper liquid, solana, XRP, and so forth

Irishdwg007

Thanks. I have been pretty successful with others and still slightly above water on XRP as I got in early.

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

I’d say they’re “legit” in the sense that they’ve been around for years and aren’t random overnight meme projects, but they all have really different communities and goals. A lot of people I know got into XRP because of the banking angle, LTC because it felt like the safe older option, and SOL because everyone was hyping the ecosystem during the last run. Doesn’t mean they can’t still be risky though. Crypto people sometimes act like “not a scam” automatically means “good investment” and those are definitely not the same thing.

No_Ebb_3017

At least XRP and SOL have pumped at some point. LTC is just a shitcoin that does nothing but bleed out on every ratio against every other Alt.

Buy BTC bc XRP has no utility 🤡🤡🤡

SupremeApeRuler

Surprised not to seeing much XRP.

Today, Trump just signed an Executive Order directing the Federal Reserve to open FED master account access to crypto firms. FYI, Ripple filed their application months ago and already have USOCC charter and NYDFS trust in place. Where all the XRP naysayers at.

xrpbro97

I would say rotate a portion into stable coins and use them to swap back into XRP when the price goes lower.

PlatinumTrillionaire

There’s no timeline and the article is pure speculation like all the idiots that talk about XRP everyday. They are hired to promote an mlm scam good luck to you

Rob_56399

No XRP?

Intelligent-Cod-4656

Like XRP lol

In crypto, you must do your own research before purchasing. Look in the utility (usage) of the coin. Meme coins are just purchasing for hype and you cannot use them for anything. BTC is for sending money or store of value. ETH is the computer rails that many systems run off of (the stock market will be using ETH soon). XRP is a low cost payment system as well, but will never reach the height of BTC, because, there will ever only be 21 million BTC where as XRP is releasing hundreds of thousands of token monthly, so the value will never sky rocket like everyone thinks, due to the # of shares released divided by the market cap of the asset. I wouldn't purchase any other cryptos myself besides these few. Good luck!!

XRP, XLM, HBAR, QNT, and XMR I see as alts having big use cases and adoption by 2030

Comfortable_Law7399

BTC, Solana, XRP

Existential-Hangover

XRP, yea I am one of "them"!

whiskey_pancakes

Btc Eth Hbar Sol XRP and Quant, been buying dca for years now

Ok_Glass_6858

Sounds like XRP

ktaktb

Yes, sorry...spac over the life of nyse is relatively rare but it is the conmans equity equivalent of a shitcoin...but even then it is still 1000000% more bona fide and financially sound than something like XRP or does anyone remember EOS?? Lol. At least a spac you have equity.

Human-Marsupial-1515

Quite a few actually, unless the price explodes this year which I kind of doubt. QNT, HBAR, XRP being the main ones.

No-Masterpiece2246

You're overestimating the power of governments to regulate and control crypto. Trump's coin is not crypto. Stablecoins are not crypto. XRP is not crypto. Uncensorable decentralized networks like ETH, XMR, BCH, SOL, LTC, etc are crypto.

johnmonaco87

XRP and Ethereum.
