XRP has faced a rough ride in recent weeks, tumbling alongside other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin’s 5% weekly correction has spilled into the Ripple-affiliated XRP, which is struggling to maintain its $0.55 level. The recent slump has some experts questioning the widely anticipated bull cycle that was expected to follow Bitcoin’s next halving. Peter Brandt, a respected analyst, has raised concerns, but XRP enthusiasts remain undeterred.
Edward Farina, a prominent figure in the XRP community and head of social adoption at the token Healthcare, sees a much brighter future for the asset. Speaking during Istanbul Blockchain Week, Farina boldly predicted that the token is on the verge of entering an “unending upward trajectory.” He believes that despite current market volatility, the crypto world will experience the biggest bull cycle in history.
In a subsequent tweet, Farina emphasized that this surge won’t be just a fleeting rally but a continuous price ascent. He urged XRP investors to take advantage of the current dip, citing that this moment will one day be looked at as a bargain compared to the future valuation.
XRP Predictions
Farina’s investment strategy centers on dollar-cost averaging (DCA) into assets with practical use cases, advising investors to accumulate cryptocurrencies that are significantly down from their all-time highs. The token, down over 86% from its peak of $3.84 in 2018, remains a prime candidate, according to Farina. He recommends a slow, methodical approach to accumulating tokens, pointing out that buying low will position investors for massive gains once the market rebounds.
Other experts have echoed Farina’s optimism, with some analysts projecting XRP could hit $50 or even $100 in the coming months. One bold prediction estimates the token’s fair market value could soar as high as $4,813, based on models comparing its potential use in cross-border payments.
At press time, XRP hovered at $0.5277, with 73% of the token’s community on CoinMarketCap voting for a near-term recovery. For many, the best strategy may be to heed Farina’s call—buy the dip and hold.
