Ripple CEO BLASTS Market Logic: Why Isn’t XRP Price Booming?
The post Ripple CEO BLASTS Market Logic: Why Isn’t XRP Price Booming? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed his frustration over XRP’s low valuation in the crypto market. Despite having clear regulatory approval in the U.S., XRP’s value remains below $0.5, causing negative sentiments and leading some to call it a “dead coin.”
Read on to find out what experts think and what the future might hold for this controversial cryptocurrency.
XRP’s Regulatory Edge: A Mixed Blessing
Garlinghouse’s frustration stems from XRP’s poor performance in the current bull market. In a recent interview at the XRP Ledger Apex conference, he highlighted XRP’s unique regulatory status. Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, XRP has been definitively ruled not to be a security in the U.S.
After the court ruling in July 2023, XRP’s price soared by over 100% within 24 hours, reaching a peak of $0.93. However, this spike was short-lived, and XRP’s value has since fallen from its July high.
Why is nothing boosting XRP?
Despite being relisted on major U.S. exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, Crypto.com, and Kraken, and reinstated in Grayscale’s investment products, XRP’s value has dropped by about 50%. Garlinghouse expressed his surprise that the market hasn’t recognized XRP’s regulatory clarity, contrasting it with Ethereum (ETH), which still faces regulatory uncertainty.
“I think it’s strange that XRP is in such a unique position, and the market hasn’t kind of rewarded it,”
Future Prospects: A Pro-XRP Perspective
Pro-XRP crypto commentator BarriC recently shared his thoughts on XRP’s potential, suggesting that its current underperformance is temporary. He predicts that when XRP regains the $1 price point it lost three years ago, the community’s reaction will be muted. BarriC believes that the fear of missing out (FOMO) won’t truly kick in until XRP nears $5.

BarriC envisions a future where at $10, XRP will begin to attract significant attention. At the $100 mark, he argues, XRP’s utility in payments and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization will become evident, driving more investment interest. Finally, if XRP reaches $1,000, BarriC speculates that the crypto community will view XRP as essential, with people even saving up to buy one XRP at that price.
