A single week of SpaceX stock ownership now matches eight years of holding XRP, according to a comparison that crypto commentator Ash Crypto shared on X. The numbers behind the claim tell a stark story about two very different assets moving through very different timelines.
XRP traded at $3.60 eight years ago. Today it sits at $1.00, a drop of roughly 72%. SpaceX’s private stock, traded under the ticker SPCX, moved from $105 last week to $146 today, a gain of about 39%.
Ash Crypto used these figures to argue that SpaceX investors from just seven days ago have already outpaced XRP holders who have waited nearly a decade for gains.

The comparison drew sharp responses from XRP holders and skeptics alike. User Wex Gunworks wrote, “Everything outperforms XRP all the time, that’s facts,” a comment that reflects broader frustration among critics who view XRP’s price action as chronically weak relative to other assets.
Chris Tate offered a more detailed response, noting that almost any alternative investment could have delivered better results than XRP over the same period. He wrote that the comparison “could’ve been silver, gold, SP500… hell, virtually any other thing but crypto!” Tate also described his own position, saying he has lost faith in lawmakers and would consider exiting if his investment returned to his average purchase price per coin.
User Lytopie added a more reflective take on the situation, writing, “eight years of conviction pays the same as one lucky week. Only one of them turns into a personality.” The comment captures a recurring theme in the replies: long-term XRP holders often build public identities around their positions, while short-term gains in other assets rarely carry the same social weight.

XRP’s price has remained a frequent subject of comparison among crypto commentators, particularly against traditional and private-market assets that have posted stronger returns over shorter timeframes. The token’s price near $1.00 today stands in sharp contrast to the $3.60 level it reached eight years ago, a gap that continues to fuel debate among holders about the asset’s long-term trajectory.
SpaceX, meanwhile, has continued to see strong investor interest in its private shares, with SPCX posting double-digit percentage gains within a single week. The company’s valuation growth has made it a common reference point for commentators measuring returns across different asset classes.
