Blockchain Expert States Why XRP Price Does Not Matter

In a recent response to a query from a community member, blockchain researcher SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) presented compelling arguments for why XRP’s price stability should be viewed as an advantage rather than a limitation for institutional adoption. According to the expert, “the price of XRP does not matter.”

Historical Market Performance

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed significant evolution since 2018. While Bitcoin has ascended from its 2018-2019 trading range of $3,000-$13,000 to its current value of approximately $68,180, and Ethereum has risen from its historical $223-$514 range to $2,642, XRP has maintained a more consistent price pattern.

XRP began 2018 off a spectacular 2017 run, hitting its all-time high of $3.84 in January of that year. Following this significant milestone, the digital asset established a trading corridor between $0.25 and $0.52 from mid-2018 through mid-2019.

Despite experiencing a brief decline to $0.11 during the March 2020 market turbulence and subsequent recovery to $1.96 in April 2021, XRP has predominantly maintained stability around the $0.50 mark.

At the time of press, XRP is trading at $0.5423, down approximately 1% over the past 24 hours. Although it briefly reached $0.6647 in late September, it quickly lost this level, dropping to around $0.5 after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed its notice of appeal.

Price Stability As A Selling Point for Institutional Adoption

According to SMQKE’s analysis, the focus on XRP’s price movement misses the fundamental value proposition for institutional investors. Financial institutions prioritize technological capabilities and operational efficiency over short-term price fluctuations when evaluating blockchain solutions for infrastructure needs.

The researcher emphasizes that XRP’s relative price stability is an attractive feature for institutional adoption. Unlike cryptocurrencies experiencing extreme volatility, XRP’s consistent trading range provides institutions with a more predictable environment for implementing blockchain-based payment solutions.

Technical Advantages and Real-World Applications

The primary appeal of XRP lies in its technical infrastructure, particularly its ability to facilitate rapid, cost-effective international transactions. Financial institutions are increasingly recognizing these benefits, focusing on the practical applications rather than speculative value. Its advantages have positioned it as a viable alternative to SWIFT, and a top pick for global settlement.

SMQKE suggests that retail investors should shift their perspective from short-term price movements to long-term utility. While the current trading range might not satisfy speculative interests, he argues that the digital asset’s true value lies in its potential for institutional adoption and practical applications within the global financial system.
