The Economic Ninja (@economyninja), a crypto educator and commentator with a large online following, announced he is selling his XRP position. He revealed in his video that he has moved roughly 80% of his crypto portfolio into cash.
His reasoning draws on market conditions, the behavior of Ripple’s own executives, and his read on where XRP is heading next.
He Has Been in Cash Since December
The Economic Ninja states he is “80 something percent in cash” in his crypto portfolio and has been since December. He sold XRP before it reached his original $5 price target, explaining that the market showed signs of weakness that changed his outlook.
He says XRP rose nearly $1 after he sold, but his conviction on deteriorating market conditions pushed him to stay in cash rather than chase the move.

Ex-Ripple CTO Sold Almost All of His XRP
A central piece of his argument involves David Schwartz, CTO Emeritus of Ripple. Schwartz sold nearly all of his XRP holdings while keeping a large stake in private Ripple stock. The Economic Ninja interprets this as significant.
His explanation is that Ripple sells XRP to fund the company’s growth ahead of a potential IPO, which means the private stock stands to appreciate far more than XRP itself. He says this is what most XRP influencers will not tell their audiences.
Why XRP Is Going Lower
The Economic Ninja believes XRP will fall below $0.80. He ties this directly to stock market weakness, stating that XRP has already dropped from $1.60 to $1.06 without a significant stock market downturn yet. When that downturn arrives, he expects XRP to follow.
He also attributes the recent price surge in Bitcoin and XRP to a short squeeze rather than organic demand, describing it as “a coordinated deal” involving significant market players who wiped out short positions.
His Critique of XRP Influencers
He is openly critical of commentators who have consistently called for XRP to reach $500. He says these influencers have been “consistently stinking wrong” and suggests some may be paid by crypto companies, a practice he says he has never engaged in.
Where He Is Focused Now
The Economic Ninja says he intends to rotate capital into real estate, specifically tax deed auctions, as his next investment focus. He has already sold his gold and silver holdings and sees real estate as the logical next step in the cycle.
He encourages his audience to hold cash and resist pressure from those promoting crypto or precious metals through affiliate links during a period he views as a coming market downturn.
