Crypto commentator Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto) shared a video that reopened a familiar theme within crypto markets. The clip featured Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz discussing tribal behavior in digital asset communities, specifically XRP Army.
Xaif paired the video with a direct message about XRP supporters, describing them as loud, loyal, liquid, and unshaken.
Xaif used the clip to emphasize the positive culture within the XRP army. Hours earlier, the community had demonstrated measurable action during a brief but intense trading window. Xaif framed the community as a cohesive force within a market that is often shaped by sentiment.
Galaxy CEO said it best 👇
Crypto is tribal… and don’t f*ck with the XRP Army. 🫡
I know that all too well.
Loud. Loyal. Liquid.
They don’t shake. They don’t fold.
They change the market. https://t.co/TzbEmQIL84 pic.twitter.com/S7V3B93L4M— Xaif Crypto🇮🇳|🇺🇸 (@Xaif_Crypto) December 31, 2025
Novogratz on Division, Trust, and Crypto Tribalism
In the video, Novogratz spoke broadly about the current phase of the digital asset sector. He described crypto as being in a “golden era,” while linking market behavior to deeper social divisions.
He pointed to declining trust across institutions, belief systems, and interpersonal relationships. That environment, he said, drives people toward groups with shared identity.
“Crypto is very tribal,” Novogratz said. He followed that statement with a blunt warning: “Don’t fuck with the XRP army.” The remark stood out because it did not come from an XRP advocate. Novogratz has historically aligned more closely with other networks.
XRP ETF Trading Activity Shows Coordinated Action
Novogratz has previously commended the XRP army, and recent trading activity shows the strength of this community. On the final trading day of 2025, XRP community figure Chad Steingraber urged supporters to trade XRP-related ETFs
The response arrived quickly. Within 30 minutes, Steingraber revealed that ETF trading volume reached nearly $3 million. That surge occurred without a major news catalyst. It came from coordinated action by retail participants acting on a shared directive. The activity highlighted liquidity depth rather than volatility.

Market observers noted the speed of execution. Steingraber provided updates, revealing a trading volume of $27.63 million by the end of the trading day. Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF led the pack with a volume of $8.89 million.
The XRP Army’s Dedication
The XRP Army has faced regulatory pressure, market cycles, and prolonged consolidation. Despite that history, the community continues to mobilize when called upon. The final trading day of 2025 reinforced that reality.
Analysts have high expectations for XRP in 2026. This activity shows that the community is stronger than before, and 2026 could be the year XRP reaches its true potential.
