Ripple is now valued at $10B thanks to a new $200M investment round. However, the price of its actual token keeps declining and remains among the worst performers of 2019.

Ripple has had a string of good news recently, but the same can’t be said for the XRP token itself.

Despite that they did gained $200M investment and worth $10 billion in valuation, it didn't impact XRP's price.

It continues to decline. It means that it's a possibility that the bulls are no longer interested in XRP, as they are more focused in Bitcoin's dominance. They can't even get past Ethereum now, despite that they did overtake Ethereum a few times in CoinMarketCap rankings.

What does this mean now for XRP holders? Do you think it's worth buying now? Maybe if you're a long-term thinker, it might "moon" later on rather than sooner.

I would like to hear more about your reactions on this one, especially XRP holders.

As we know, price of a product in market is influenced by fundamentals and public sentiment.

Based from fundamental. Ripple teams are filled with qualified personnel in each their sectors. Their Promotion and marketing activities have been running on a large scale since 2017.

However, sentiments that already formed inside crypto community minds, afaik, state that :
1. Ripple is not crypto. Because most of token allocation is still held by dev team.
2. As per the announcement they made in 2017 (https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-to-place-55-billion-xrp-in-escrow-to-ensure-certainty-into-total-xrp-supply/), escrow process will be completed around mid 2020.

Based on those two things, crypto community trust in ripple are still low. And it's affect xrp price. With current downtrend situation, i think it will be very difficult for xrp to back to $500.

In my opinion, their hardest job while waiting escrow full completed is gaining communities trust.

I don't believe the price of XRP will go up any further. Its supply is increasing and XRP's services have not yet been applied to real life. I don't see the future of XRP, but there are XRP fans everywhere saying that should hold XRP, it will return $ 10 soon. I feel this is too absurd since it seems that a week, hundreds of millions of XRP are unlocked and they continue to sell it over time and that's why the price of XRP is always falling. Many people's beliefs seem to be losing and they are pouring money to buy more bitcoin.

The ripple company gets 200M funding and when you have not even seen the financial report from the company and you don't know right now about where is it going on.

People are taking valuation as a serious thing but that's a joke. Big valuation doesn't mean your business is in the right way.

No usecase, No loyalty, not even a single program that comes from the company to be divided the all of ripple holders.

When your company can generate surplus in your financial report caused by your service or product being used by public and that's much better than you just receive funding from big entities but your company can't generate revenue from your product.

Ripple is just burning the money and no more.

I can even create a few dollars worth a fresh food that i can sell it to get profit from my product and that's much better than your million ripple coin that gives nothing for you because you have spent million dollars but you can't get even a few pennies from what you have paid before.

ripple is a joke company. lol

after hearing this news, I began to hesitate instead. if there should be a large investment coming in, the price should be a little pumped up. or indeed ripple is still waiting for one more moment so that until now the price has not pumped up despite getting a sizable investment.

Lost hope with XRP now because after raise up on higher price now XRP become shit coin and like other scam coin, they can raise up with higher price again and every time always down. How ever with bitcoin price up or not Ripple never raise with higher price and awlays down with shit coin price, look ripple have the same value with shit coin now.

People are waiting for magic to happen and they are getting tired of holding coins, here is a fact, the moment you are tired of something changes might be around, ripple is a top coin and centralized which makes me belief it can do better because governments can control it

Indeed, Ripple still has not shown the best results even though there have been several large investments, but the price is still low, I am still not captivated by Ripple because as seen from the chart, the price continues to fall, meaning that I still cannot trust Ripple as a promising investment.
I have also heard that Ripple has adopted many of the big companies whether it is true or not but there has been no improvement at all.

I agree with your points, it seems bulls are not interested in Ripple and also in Ethereum. Bitcoin market dominance, upcoming halving hype turned people to buy more Bitcoin instead of buying alts. Though the Bull market will come through the Bitcoin but it will effect others good altcoins too, when the bull run comes, Ethereuym and ripple price will be high by following the Bitcoin's growth but b=8efore that I don't think Ethereum, ripple's price will be in the good zone again.

Its not that they are not interested to XRP, its just that there isn't much fluctuation happening to XRP, if you try to invest on it you are the only who will make its price fluctuates and everyone will just dump it. I think it now lies in the best price for buying. If you are an investor who sees an opportunity to buy at a current price you will buy XRP but for an investor who wants to keep seeing growth, he be buying at every dip during bullrun.

Its nothing new about it was the same status in the last year december 2018 when the most of the cryptocurrency was experiencing a massive dump of its price and valuation, one of the many reasons is maybe the investors got panicked for the left and right negativity that hovering around the crypto space and off course the holidays, investors needs money for the holidays that's why selling some of its XRP holdings is just normal thing at this time. I believe that $200 Million dollars worth of so called investment will not immediately taking effect maybe it gains positively in 2020, XRP still the 3rd largest cryptocurrency in the market according to CMC so it means a lot.

I am not surprised, look how many big news come this year and how it affected the price? We are seeing one big manipulated game, but I believe that halving will come and situtation will change.

the price might be declined but it does not mean the bull is gone, you can not fall for their trick. remember a few years ago?
a pump happened after the dump, the same thing might happen with it. we do not know what will they do to all of their new investment right?

Ripple keeps dumping XRP onto the markets monthly, and there's just not enough demand on the markets for the coin to sustain the price or to allow it to rise in price. That combined with the fact that it does not really have any real usecase and a lot of its popularity arose from how high the coin rose in 2017 doesn't help it out. This turns into a sort of a circular pattern where the price drops because people are discouraged to invest in the coin as a result of the pressure against the price rising.

So do you think that the market really does have a whale manipulation game or what? and I can't believe it, it remains a market condition that continues to fluctuate and no bullrun has yet come.
We will approach halving, of course it will be a prediction for the coins held will become ascended after halving occurs but is that possible?

How can the government control ripple coins in crypto? try to explain in full here, because talking bored in waiting is certainly there, because everyone has a different patience limit in waiting for something.

Or we could wait a little bit more for it to reflect?

I am not much of a supporter of the said coin but I got interested of it because of the cheap and fast transaction that can be done. More cheaper than ETH indeed.
But, when you are running a centralized coin it seems this kind of non movement does happen.
There is demand, yeah your news is the proof of it but how come the value reflection cannot be seen as quick as they do with their transaction.

for me xrp remains a coin that gives a pretty good profit, even though the price is decreasing but if I do hold on xrp then I'm sure they will grow again. and although the current xrp ranking is below eth but for me, ranking is not very important because xrp is still in a good position for its rating

XRP community is being betrayed, XRP with what it is used in practice, it can't work as bad as what it used to be, I think the main reason is because there are always 1 billion XRP every month. lock from developer and dump into market.

They can easily control XRP because XRP is a centralized cryptocurrency, for that reason I don't like XRP and I never thought that XRP was a cryptocurrency. In addition, how XRP can increase prices? every quarter, XRP dev team sells a huge number of tokens. The total supply of XRP always increases every year, so the price of XRP will always decrease and cannot be increased. It is best for the XRP holder to sell it and look for other altcoins and holdings. I do not see any future for XRP in the short or long term

The value of Ripple has nothing to do with its utility as a product for remittance and interbank transfers. All that matters is that it has some tangible value so that Ripple's on-demand liquidity partners can be sure that they're going to get the amount they expect when conducting their transfers.

Anybody who thinks that XRP is a good investment for the long term is an absolute idiot, the cryptocurrency has suffered one of the highest percentage declines this year, and doesn't look set to recover any time soon since it's not designed for public users.

Wake up and exit your positions in XRP before you get rekt further.

people are currently focusing on bitcoin, and it does not mean that altcoin is currently unprofitable but it is not yet time for the season. if the bitcoin market has reached the best price, then altcoin will grow again including xrp which until now I believe has potential in the future and at this time I think xrp is not yet time to show specific movements

If XRP looks easy for controlling why price today keep lower, what happen with XRP although have much volume transaction in many bigger exchange market but price keep down, how come bigger altcoin and have third position in coin market cap but price look like shit altcoin, I remember when ripple have higher I think many investor have hold with ripple coin

Why will whales invest into Ripple when Ripple's team does exactly what whales do as they just control the demand and supply to control the value of XRP and regardless of the investment Ripple will never have a good comeback as the development team just dumps more supply into the market during bull run and moreover users have learnt that XRP is a centralized token and has been worst performer for years.

If there's one thing we should all have learned by now, it's that nothing that ever happens with Ripple the company will affect the price of Ripple the token (XRP).

Please take note. Ripple itself hardly uses XRP, and the same with any of their hundreds of partners who have mixed it up with partnership network. They're all using the tech, but they're not using XRP.

So forget about all that news. Only when XRP is actually being adopted and used will we see the token get better in price.

pre-mined coins must be the main reason about why it was getting dumped but we can put our focus into what will be getting by the holders from their ripple coin? they get nothing from their holding while another POS coins are offering annual yield to the holders. This is not even offering utility advantage nor security dividend.
What they are betting on ripple just bet on the tech that already offered to the bankers to get more and more valuation only.

XRP only follows the Alt price trend that is falling right now, in my opinion it's normal except that only XRP is down between Alt. Just be patient if you believe it is heaped when the price is cheap

This is the time I go back in the world of blockchain, and I don't hear any news about XRP, but thanks for the link and I've read it, so for me I don't care what happen in XRP right now, but all the altcoins XRP is my favorite to buy, trade and hold.

XRP has way too many coins floating on the market
Where (Supply > Demand) + adoption is not huge

However, judging from the technical analysis aspect
XRP is around 2,600 satoshi now
I expect a strong rebound when XRP price hit around 2,300 - 2,500 satoshi
Take note on the price

I agree because all prices of Altcoins fall when there is a decline and there is nothing to worry about. maybe not only XRP followed this trend but many others coins also suffered the same fate. of course that's normal and I think this is a golden opportunity to buy XRP for long-term investment until years 2020.

I did put very few portions to store xrp.
And I also did not get my hopes up quickly that xrp will be moon. Because basically I prefer to hold longterm.
In my understanding, getting new investment and so much value for xrp does not mean it can also be a stepping stone to raise prices. Right now, only Whale can play the market price.

The decline in XRP is much better than other tokens, proving that XRP remains in demand and let's look at its position in coinmarketcap always at number 3

There is no such thing as better or not when it comes to declining in price ;) All of them having the same situation and there is no wonder xrp will hold its position, it is considered as one of the best coins even though there are some who really hates it.

xrp is still waiting for the time to reach the price again, now people are focusing on bitcoin and for altcoin is not yet a priority, we have to wait for the bitcoin market first then the altcoin market will follow suit. maybe if you trade daily then we can benefit from xrp, if there is potential when doing daily trading.

So it's just another pump and dump coin. I don't have any XRP to be honest because of it being a bankers coin. And we all know that if a coin is centralised, anyone behind the project can control it. No matter how good its supposed to be as utility or investment, if it doesn't have the trust of crypto enthusiast, it can't take off.

Just look at the price, it is way below it's all time high, -90%++ one of the worst performing altcoin in the last 2 years or so.

Nothing special with XRP, it still remains non-outstanding altcoins performer this year. It only bullish time that we see XRP soaring high and after that, it falls down together with the other altcoins. Thinking about the growth of this coin, it is really no hope that it will soar high as the market will stay like this and most especially of being a controlled price. 

Sentiment around XRP is not good at all and the team showed a lot of incompetence and arrogance in management last year. I believe people want to punish the team by dumping it if they can. The team had no excuse for the mismanagement and deliberate dump, not even a legal attack or hack as excuse. If the predictions are right with ripple they dont have any good prediction for 2020

Ripple took a hit when Congress started attacking stablecoins (which was prompted by Libra).

Congress is now putting through a law called "Stablecoins are securities", and this threatens Ripple's whole business model:

https://eng.ambcrypto.com/ripple-exec-slams-stablecoins-are-securities-act-claims-libra-accelerated-crypto-talks/

Zuckerberg and his Libra project have managed to undermine the whole stablecoins niche.

I think XRP is not the only one who remains non-outstanding in 2019 because a lot of coins are now dump due to scam projects and decrease of the price of bitcoin, that is why a lot of people decides to hold most of their coins and not to sell it until in increase it's price again, so they could sell it and recover all of their losses.

I think now it makes sense to buy a little bit of ripple. in spite of the fact that this coin is not interesting to anyone as a technology, it will always remain very manipulative until it will die completely and I think that in 2020 we will see several price pumps of this coin and those people who buy it now will be able to make good money

There are so many platforms that offering more fatures and advantages than ripple. The speculation market is always remain manipulative till forever and that's why manipulation is not something new in crypto as when you are talking about the speculation and that will always related to the creation of pump and dump by the big players.
Ripple is not a good coin to buy caused by you can get it even cheaper in the future by waiting for jed to dump his coin to the market. Ripple will be faing the bottom floor again as billions coin will have distributed to the market.

the current conditions are indeed quite suitable for starting an investment, if we dare to take steps then the investment must proceed. but still have to see the potential and also the risk before investing, the goal is that we know the boundaries to take the right steps. although XRP has the potential but we must continue to do research to find potential first

Do you believe with ripple will back to higher price again? I think not and we can't trust with Ripple will have higher price again. Pass two years ago when Ripple can raise with higher price but now we have disappointed with ripple price because price keep down.

But the manipulation from people behind XRP makes it uninteresting for its supporter. I see the XRP as the face of altcoins, if it's not alts season then its not the time for XRP to get pump but when it does it will do. I still believe that there is huge population that supports the XRP no matter how low it will be, they are still waiting for it to increase its value even they are getting long time decrease.

How i wish they would do that but unfortunately it's a seldom event to occur. We don't know when they would start to hype up Ripple but i would say that it's not good for investment. It is only good for staying away at the volatility of the bitcoin market. You switch bitcoin to XRP to avoid dropping the price.

It's the story of most older altcoins. I think it would be best to not get into ripple or any altcoin(Unless you like to take big risks), Bitcoin is the best option, Halving is coming and it's probably going to fly..

XRP does not really strike me well as a aggressive competitor but its price is really that lower than what I expected it to be now. Hopefully, things with Ripple can work out soon or else it might actually fall from the ranks. I do believe that there is possibility of season for many altcoins like XRP and hopefully, 2020 can bring it up.

Older altcoin looks bad reputation for growing to higher price, although have third position increase higher volume transaction not become guarantee for XRP have higher price and keep exist like other altcoin, right now we don't care about what altcoin position on coin market cap but how some coin can wake up to higher price after going down.

I think XRP is currently still sleeping soundly because there has not been the same development that could trigger traders to enter and buy XRP but I am sure one day XRP will rise again and can be expensive when it has launched a new update that will make XRP have high demand.

I hold XRP now because bought with higher price during ripple raise above $2 and I don't know will ripple back with higher price or not, we can't  really trusted with ripple on higher price again because after two year price looks down and not raise up to higher price again, always become bad moment for holding ripple and looks not potential to higher price.

Ripple will never be able to return to the $2 price because this coin has experienced the most development phase since 2 years ago so this is not the time for you to hope for a new future of this coin. I think, there are hundreds of new options for you at this time and you should research carefully before making a decision because if you are lucky to find a good coin, your chances of making a profit will be higher.

Maybe not today but could be possible in the coming days.
Actually, I'm still holding XRP but I'm not being hopeless to think that XRP won't have a chance to move higher just like with the others.
Often to know that XRP price still controlled by someone and that is one of the hindrances that this coin won't go far as we wanted to be.

Not only XRP bro but most of the Altcoins today are also bleeding. It is because of the current date where most of the people are converting their Altcoins to Fiat to spend on their holiday vacations. that's why you can see more often up to this date that the price will fall if the holiday season are here. Expect to see the price recovery after a few months starting from today, just like last year's price. you will see some changes in price when people start buying Altcoins again after their vacations.

Nothing can replace bitcoin for sure and neither any coin can gain the same strength and potential as bitcoin has. Good altcoins follow bitcoin obediently even if they try to compete it. The fact that the whole digital coin market actually depends on only one coin will be never changed. Ripple is a trustworthy altcoin but there are better altcoins available too and bitcoin should be the first choice of all investors.

Yes, actually the whole crypto market is affected. Converting to fiat is another thing but the main reason is because we are still in the bear market and we are far from recovery stage. It is expected to see the recovery once there is a trigger for bitcoin to increase its price, altcoins will probably follow including XRP.

You should try to stop loss a bit or risk it in trading, it will take time before ripple can be in that price again. As we see there are times that it falls in such amount that lasted too long without increasing. We can't deny that the price were too low that we needs to find way to do something to make an earning from it, maybe half as hold and half for trading.

We have our own way of how we are analyzing the situation of the market especially with the coins that we are holding. On the past few months I am also holding a lot of XRP or ripples in which I am hoping a heavy increase or pumping on it before the year ends in which it is not happen so it is probably the time in which I stop on holding ripple and sell it anyway so that to avoid my losses, because as we can see right now the situation of the ripple in the market cap is very down and it is kind of long that it is not increasing, so I decided to sell it in my own good way. I am suggesting to you to stop holding xrp now because the situation of it is in a really bad condition so you must just think about holding it until now.

Hopefully xrp would start to recover at good price and will bounce higher once btc will start to commence the increasing trend. Only big whales and successful projects will trigger this situation to come up a better value, so be patient and avoid negative thoughts. Let's all cherish every pump and dump, because eventually it will trigger adoption unexpectedly.

2019 has been a difficult year because many altcoins did not achieve their goals even though they had a lot of good news and good achievements, and the same thing happened with XRP. It might be better to hold it in the next few months

How do you buy? It still depends on the goals and plans. The fact is that someone and + 50% good profit, and someone dreams of repeating 2017 and traveling from $ 0.02 to $ 1.5))) You need to start with the wishes

There are always discussions about XRP in the firstline together with BTC and ETH. However the price movement throughout 2019 for XRP was very bad as compared to other top coins. Hope this will lead the next level of bull run together with ETH.

in my opinion the price of xrp at the moment there is no problem, I'm not too hopeful of an increase to the moon but if it happens it's very good. I like xrp because the transaction is fast and cheap and the price is also quite stable, as a holder I feel safe.

---

I also believe that, there will definitely be a time to go up.

yes maybe because they hate it, because XRP still exists and continues to develop itself to increase the use of its platform in the banking world, this proves XRP is still worth holding

XRP is one of the coins most people don't like because of its centralized nature but the funny thing is, the coin is still waxing strong as the team don't fail to look for partners so as to expand their services; I think this is what makes a platform a good one. Am not a xrp holder though for now but won't fail to comment; owing to the supply of XRP I think it will be having issues with price but looking at what the team is aiming to achieve makes it good for holding which am considering already.  What matters in the life of any coin is what the team is working on and which is why most coins are still standing while others are no where to be found..

As of the moment, Ripple's (XRP) price is still below $1 but still I do hope for a good run to come for this cryptocurrency this year 2020 since it have a good start this year having an increase on its price compare to what it have way back the year 2019. It is just that because of the down fall happening in the market, the price of Ripple got also affected dragging its price down. But I do hope that once the market have gone through this down fall and the market started to recover, the price of Ripple will incredibly rise up once again. For me Ripple are one of those cryptocurrency that do have a potential of growing so despite of what its price current state right now, I will keep on holding into it until such time come that its price will rise up making Ripple holders to benefit on it.

Fast and cheap transactions provide more solutions for traditional banking and money transfers. The increasing interest towards the offered solutions by the blockchain DE_FI companies leads the price soar in the volatile markets and XRP is not an exception here after looking at the transactions table:

I understand your opinion but currently investors are only interested in profits when investing in this coin. In fact, Ripple is an investment that makes many investors more frustrated because for the past two years the coin has not been able to rise steadily and is likely to drop to $0.1 if the market collapses.

I have no interest in mentioning this coin and will continue to wait for what will happen next because the supply of this coin is huge.

Most ripple I think is used for withdrawals from exchanges or daily trading. for long-term investment, I think investors will think of other assets that can be more profitable. as you say when viewed from the growth chart ripple does not have a pretty good condition.

Wonder, will investors confidence in XRP can recover after this pandemic outbreak has passed? Or most investor instead turn to digital currencies that will be launched by China and the US? Time will tell.
