XRP, what is holding you back?

[merrymelrosa]

XRP - The never-mooner -
An XRP pump/spike is imminent. Okay, but what is stopping it from touching the 4 USD mark?
The ATH has been around 3.84 USD in 2018 I suppose till date. The SEC issues got resolved last year, what is the hold up? Why does it always slide back?

[Odusko]

XRP $2.07 price which is alot below the all time high of 3.8 that XRP ever did, what we must understand about XRP is that despite the legal clarity we shouldn't expect the price to just pick like that since price only increases with demands and for now there have not been much instructional investor buying into XRP despite the recent legal status and regulatory approval there have not been any progress yet and that can take time, this could be the reason why XRP will take a while before making the $4 as you speculate.

Why does it always slide back?

Isn't XRP completely premined? XRP price can be (and most probably is) heavily manipulated, so you should not expect to have there are proper market.
XRP is (amongst many others) great for moving fast some value from one exchange to another, but imho it's not a good coin for investments.
But maybe it's just me.

XRP is an old platform, it is quite suitable for trading but not suitable for long-term holding. Because sometimes it gets involved in legal troubles but XRP coin is free from legal troubles, but at present despite being free from legal troubles, big whale investors bought large quantities of XRP coins, as a result of which there was no major upward trend in the price in the market. However, when sugar investors accept XRP coin, there will be a big price difference.

It has already pumped.

Just look at how it moved last year and that will make you think if it will still have some space to pump for this year. But I guess that there is no more for it to reach $4.

It has went back to its former ATH of $3 and that should be enough for the holders of it who waited for so many years.

Probably just a break even for the majority of it and even with so much good news from within, I don't think that it will pump again especially for this year which is likely bearish.

Explain me why should it have value at all? It's snake oil and lies. And it's an opposite of what Bitcoin wanted to achieve, so it will never have support of same community. In fact it has probably opposite effect.

And before you give me "bhut the bhaanks are adopting it!... No they are not. Some industries just like to test several pilot programs with cryptos because they want to learn if they can benefit from them. I haven't seen any of them really paying off to anyone. I haven't seen them doing anything innovative. In fact it just seems to be duct tape fixes for regulations, as they didn't bother to start by asking what do every participant, regulators, institutions, corporations and crypto-users need and want.

Only reason for it having any foothold is that they started early, gathered money, and they actually had a purpose early days as a first fast and cheap crypto with enough liquidity between exchanges. But there are WAY better options for that these days.

Routine sell off from founder, selling pressure from long time holder who become impatient and the fact that there is canton network, a new blockchain that's what XRP supposed to be, basically a blockchain tailored for institutional and partnership with NASDAQ and so on.

All these are what I think the valid reasons as to why XRP is still stagnating.

Maybe because XRP is useless junk?

Yes, I also have some of this junk that I'd like to unload at a higher price, but I can't seem to get it done. A price of $4 would be fine with me too.

If positive news can't pump up this asset, then investors likely lack faith in its future, as most people are dumping it instead of buying it.

I generally think the days when you could make good money on XRP are over, and investing now is risky due to the uncertain future of this cryptocurrency. There are more "interesting" and promising coins.

[Webetcoins]

What do you expect from a coin made by two guys who are running a company on top of that chain?

This is the first big centralized attempt at cryptocurrency, many more came afterwards but this was the first one and they are not caring about the coin itself at all, they are using the chain as a way to move money around the world and nothing more.

They are doing marketing like a company, giving money to people like Ellen and Ashton which made them more famous, but they are a company, nothing more.

It may take some time but that could happen, they're a lot of factors though. But I think you guys over expecting with XRP. if you're holding give it 2 years ahaha. Or switch to more rewarding tokens like BGB, BTC, BNB. for instance, locked my BGB on the first Bitget launchpool I'm participating in this year. The event is ending in few hours and I'm okay with the imh rewards gotten so far.. so I'll just consider selling or hold a little cos the price trend isn't that good.. with tokens like xrp, I won't get that kinda luxury.

XRP is a bit quiet in the news right now, unlike last year when it was making a lot of noise in the crypto space. In my opinion, if you're an XRP fan, the current price is a great opportunity
to DCA for the long term.

I didn't really believe in XRP's potential before, but last year I realized its value. I don't see anything wrong with doing DCA for the long haul,
especially since XRP has already proven itself in the crypto industry for several years now.

XRP shows promise, especially after the SEC case ended, yet it can’t sustain highs near its 2018 peak of ~$3.84. Short-term spikes happen, but it keeps sliding back due to market sentiment, competition, and cautious investors. It feels like nothing fundamental stops it from hitting $4, yet it hesitates.

[asriloni]

I have to tell you the truth XRP is a joke. It has been a scam from beginning with so many big boys in the company used retail as exit liquidity. The idea about Swift that being rumored to ran in XRP was also BS. No utilization for XRP, which is preventing the adoption too.

Other than that majority of people consider this as short-term speculation only. It's increased but due to the inorganic pump. It's not caused by people who buy it caused by try to utilize it and hold it for long term.

Things worsen with how company keep dumping their pre-mined coin to the retail until now. There is also Canton Network that has been named as a better institutional coin to replace XRP. So demand is moving there. Those are reasons why ATH look so to good to be true to be achieved by XRP.

It was able to get close to that ATH that it has got last year but then yes, it can't be sustain. Those who have bought when it was under a dollar, they're in profit and can still sell it until now because we'll not know if the price could be lowered again.

It feels like nothing fundamental stops it from hitting $4, yet it hesitates.

It is investors confidence that's with that. We'll have to see it again by the next cycle if ever it's going to break through records again. Because if it doesn't do that, even with so many positive news about it, it doesn't move a lot.

I guess if we had saw an altseason in 2025 it should have done better but from what's happening today we can't figure out where the market is actually heading towards, it has become difficult for any crypto outside bitcoin to perform extremelly well but not withstanding we still hope for the best.

Xrp had been having this kinda movement from the onset and had suffered amongst great altcoin from day one, if you look closely, you'll notice his set of coins then like Monero, BNB, Ethereum and many other old boys experienced new ATH but xrp is struggling with it. Maybe I thought it's because of their billion market supply and Sec regulatory problems which they won sometimes ago.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

As of 14th July last year, the ATH was at $3.6 on trading view and that pump that happened then was because of an announcement that was made, later on people started saying that the price was going to get to $6 and some people even went as far as saying that the price of XRP will reach $100 but they were just day dreaming because evwn if XRP will get to such price, I don't see it happening any time soon. Currently, I'm not holding xrp but It is my favorite pair for trading futures option, so I'm always analyzing its price and following up news and what I can tell you is that XRP is just being over hyped by some people.

[JamesDaniel90]

XRP will be fine, it will shoot through the $4 high once good times return to crypto.  Look how quick it went from $0.50 to $3.50 , only 2 months.

No one knows for sure if 2026 will be a good or bad year, we are hoping at least the second half of 2026 will be good.

All we can do for now is hold and wait. Most of the time in crypto you have to go through many months and even years of down and sideways action and then out of nowhere it only takes a few months to pump massively and we just have to wait for that moment again.

Many people are investing in XRP because of how connected the lab is and how widely they are being used in some of the financial payment sector, adding to the influence of Chris Larsen, who is actively involved in sponsoring politicians and its connection to top political figures, and, on a side note, their legal case with the SEC has already been declared to be in their favour; the currency is just to be used to settle payment, not supposed to be bought and held for a long time expecting a long-term profit.

Obviously it is, but there will always be some people who will fall for it and I got used to it by now. I know what it is and how it is worth and valued and for that reason I am sure that we are going to see this be a lot different.

XRP is a scam, it was made by two people, who made it for their company and it's heavily centralized, could print anytime they want, and could even freeze it if they want or do a rollback if they want. Why would I want to use something like that when Fiat exists, I would rather hold dollars in my bank account, at least that's a centralized currency that I know.
