Crypto traders are starting to recover after a weekend of panic selling, triggered by U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. XRP is currently trading at $2, down 2.2%, but holding up better than many altcoins. Many analysts believe that its real-world utility, strong community, and growing institutional interest are helping it stay resilient through global uncertainty.
XRP Holders Are “Cosmic Royalty”
Monerex CEO Mark Otto recently delivered a powerful message to the XRP community, highlighting the unique vision shared by its holders.
“You hold a special cosmic royalty. You see what’s coming and stand to benefit, and help your family for generations to come,” Otto said, speaking directly to XRP supporters.
These remarks reflect a growing sentiment among XRP holders that they are part of something much larger than just a financial movement and are early participants in a global shift.
Wall Street Is Missing XRP’s Potential
At the Las Vegas 2025 event, Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie had also shared similar remarks. He said that Wall Street is overlooking the true power of the XRP community. Ripple is playing a major role in shaping the future of crypto, and its impact is being underestimated. He had also called XRP “the crypto with the most utility.”
Although XRP dropped over 7% in the past week, the investor interest remains strong. In a recent interview, the Teucrium CEO had noted rising demand for XRP-based investment products, adding that many believe XRP could deliver bigger long-term gains than Bitcoin.
While he noted the risks of leveraged products, he believes XRP’s role in tokenization and finance could drive long-term growth, making it an asset worth watching. Analyst Edo Farina has also argued that XRP has a better risk-reward ratio than Bitcoin, thanks to its lower price and real-world use.
XRP Outperforms Entire Market
Notably, XRP is up over 300% in a year, while most digital assets are still struggling. While Bitcoin hovers near all-time highs, many altcoins remain stuck below bear market levels. XRP, meanwhile, has outperformed the entire market.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes that XRP could capture 14% of SWIFT’s volume in five years by focusing on liquidity over messaging. Speaking at APEX 2025, he emphasized that the real competition isn’t in messaging, it is in liquidity.
With rising institutional demand, strong community backing, and growing odds of an ETF approval (now estimated at 95%), XRP holders may already be front-running the future.
