Amid the turbulence rocking the XRP market, software developer and prominent crypto voice Vincent Van Code has issued a sobering message to XRP holders: stay grounded, ignore emotional swings, and trust the fundamentals. In a detailed post on X, Van Code broke down what he believes is a classic case of coordinated manipulation, urging both new and seasoned investors to resist the urge to panic.
“Pump and Dump Is Coordinated”
According to Van Code, the sharp rally and sudden dump of XRP price action were not organic. “As I keep telling everyone, pump and dump is coordinated,” he wrote. He warned that these market moves are often manipulated to trigger emotional reactions, causing retail investors to make impulsive, damaging decisions. “This fluctuation is just there to disrupt and destabilize you emotionally, so you make hasty decisions,” he added.
Van Code emphasized the importance of long-term indicators over short-term noise. “Organic growth is steady. Look at the moving average of 200 days, or the weekly chart.”

XRP’s Price Action: The Full Picture
XRP experienced a rapid rise earlier this month, peaking near $3.65, following strong buying pressure driven by expectations of regulatory clarity and growing institutional demand. Positive developments surrounding Ripple’s global expansion, U.S. legislation like the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts, and anticipation of an XRP ETF contributed to the bullish momentum.
However, that run-up was cut short earlier this week after South Korean exchange Upbit offloaded 75 million XRP, triggering a cascade of sell orders and pushing the price down over 15% to around $3.05. As of today, XRP is trading at approximately $3.10, with intraday lows touching $2.99. Analysts highlight this $3 zone as key support, with a potential consolidation phase now underway.
“If You Lost Money in This Leg Up, It’s on You”
Van Code didn’t mince words when addressing those who may have bought at the top and sold in panic. “Seriously, if you lost money in this leg up, it’s on you,” he said. The lesson, he stressed, is about emotional discipline and understanding the broader picture. “If you bought and are still holding, I wouldn’t worry too much. Even if it falls another 5 to 10%, it’s not a big deal.”

Rather than falling for hype, Van Code advised investors to block out the noise and focus on what matters: “Always trust the fundamentals and technology, not charts, hype, and ‘what will you do when XRP reaches $100’ posts.”
“You Will Humbly Learn These Lessons”
Speaking directly to newer investors, Van Code offered this perspective: “If you’re a new investor, you will humbly learn these lessons, as ANY seasoned investor does. Some get rekt and quit, others persist and become seasoned investors.”
His post serves as both a caution and encouragement. Despite the market turmoil, Van Code stands firm: long-term conviction, patience, and sound fundamentals beat knee-jerk reactions every time.
As he concluded: “Not financial advice.” But for many in the XRP community, his message resonates as a timely and essential reminder to stay focused and calm.
