XRP has delivered substantial returns to investors who entered the market a decade ago, and 24HRSCRYPTO believes its biggest price gains could still lie ahead.
He used XRP’s historical price to challenge long-term holders who complain about the cryptocurrency’s performance, pointing out how much early investments have appreciated.
He also shared his expectations for XRP’s next major rally, predicting new all-time highs and double-digit prices as institutional participation and real economic activity increase.
In his tweet, 24HRSCRYPTO questioned why some investors who have held XRP for seven to ten years continue to complain about waiting for higher prices. He stated that these investors have had several opportunities to take profits and can sell their holdings whenever they choose.
He supported his position with XRP’s November 2016 price, when the cryptocurrency traded around $0.0081. An investor who committed $5,000 at that price could have purchased approximately 617,000 XRP. At the valuation used in his calculation, those holdings would now exceed $720,000.
If you’re tired of holding XRP after 7+ years, you’ve had plenty of opportunities to take profits. Sell whenever you please. It’s that simple.
But the funniest part is when people tell me they’ve been holding XRP for 10 years and they’re tired of waiting.
Let’s do some basic…

A $10,000 investment would have secured approximately 1.23 million XRP, worth more than $1.4 million today.
24HRSCRYPTO used these figures to challenge claims that XRP has achieved little over the past decade. He also questioned investors who ignored the cryptocurrency when it traded around $0.30, $0.40, and $0.50 for extended periods but entered the market after prices started climbing and public interest increased.
He acknowledged that this behavior occurs throughout financial markets but maintained that investors should take responsibility for their purchasing decisions rather than blame the asset for their entry prices.
24HRSCRYPTO also shared his long-term price expectations, stating that he believes XRP will establish new all-time highs and eventually reach double-digit prices.
He expects the cryptocurrency’s market structure to change as it attracts deeper liquidity and more economic activity. In particular, he believes institutional participation and consistent demand will gradually reduce XRP’s volatility.
The validator challenged investors who expect XRP to reach $10 before dropping back to $3. He said their outlook overlooks the potential changes in market conditions as XRP matures.
He explained that an asset driven primarily by speculation behaves differently from one supported by institutional liquidity, real economic activity, and consistent demand. Although he does not expect market corrections to disappear, he believes these developments will change the factors that determine XRP’s price movements.
The tweet also received responses from other XRP community members. Truth Seeker stated that the community should challenge individuals who consistently criticize XRP and Ripple. He suggested that some critics either fail to recognize the developments or deliberately discourage investors from holding their XRP.
Macro Bombastic also agreed with 24HRSCRYPTO’s historical comparison, noting that the figures clearly demonstrate XRP’s long-term returns and that investors frequently complain about its price performance.
24HRSCRYPTO maintained his optimistic outlook, arguing that investors who remain patient through market fluctuations could benefit from XRP’s future growth. He believes the cryptocurrency’s strongest opportunities lie ahead as institutional liquidity and economic activity continue to develop.
