Jake Claver is not subtle about his conviction on XRP. The financial commentator has built a following around his bullish stance on the asset, and on July 30, he shared another notable post with his community.
Claver stated that owning XRP means a holder “looked at the settlement problem before it was obvious, and sat with a position a lot of people still don’t understand.” He congratulated XRP holders for “being ahead of the curve.”

Congratulations on being ahead of the curve

Long-Term Holders Respond
Several replies came from people who said they had held XRP for years. One person said he had been holding the digital asset since 2017. Another said he had been buying since 2019, adding that he would need a job if the investment failed to pay off.
Others were more measured. One commenter said the moment did not feel like a win yet. XRP experienced a notable decline in June, and while analysts had high expectations for July, the asset has failed to meet them. XRP currently trades at $1.07, close to its price at the start of the month.
Another commenter said holding the position had required patience while being questioned by people who did not understand it. However, he remains confident, emphasizing that the digital asset will require more time and patience.
Skeptics Push Back
Not everyone in the replies shared Claver’s optimism. One commenter said he did not see institutions moving in the direction Claver described, beyond a few voices continuing to push the narrative.
Another said Claver’s investors were “down millions of dollars.” Some experts have predicted that XRP could create new millionaires in a few months, but critics are pushing back due to the asset’s underperformance.
A third skeptic acknowledged the long timeline directly. He said Claver had “doubled down and doubled down and doubled down,” and that it had taken years to reach this point. He said he was holding out hope that Claver was right.

What’s Next for XRP?
Claver’s conviction has not always translated to accurate forecasts. His 2025 prediction that XRP would reach $100 by year-end missed by approximately 98% as XRP closed 2025 near $1.87. Claver acknowledged the miss.
He argued that delays are normal when working with regulators and large institutions, and that major projects almost always take longer than planned. In 2026, he has predicted that XRP could hit $750 by the end of the year. However, the community sentiment remains split.
