He believes investors should assess XRP through its potential utility in global payments and institutional settlement rather than compare its valuation directly with publicly traded companies.

In a video accompanying his tweet, Digital Perspectives presented an alternative valuation approach using the global oil market as a reference point. He suggested that XRP could eventually reach prices between $2,000 and $3,150 if financial institutions adopt the asset to facilitate large-scale international payments and settlement.

Digital Perspectives Questions Traditional XRP Valuation

Digital Perspectives began by addressing arguments from crypto influencer Lark Davis, who dismissed the possibility of XRP reaching $100 because that price would give the asset an estimated $8 trillion market capitalization.

However, Digital Perspectives maintained that this calculation applies stock valuation principles to an asset that operates differently. He referenced Dark Defender’s explanation that cryptocurrency market capitalization serves as an indication of value rather than a direct measurement of the money invested in an asset.

He explained that XRP functions as a digital asset commodity rather than a company share. Therefore, its potential valuation should account for its utility, transaction velocity, liquidity requirements, and role in financial transactions.

To demonstrate his approach, he compared XRP with oil, which serves a global market worth approximately $3.6 trillion to $3.8 trillion annually. Applying that market size to XRP produced an estimated price range of $36 to $60.

However, Digital Perspectives believes XRP could serve a considerably larger market because the global cross-border payments industry handles more than $200 trillion annually. Using that figure in his valuation exercise, he presented potential XRP prices between $2,000 and $3,150.

He acknowledged that this calculation does not establish a direct relationship between payment volume and XRP’s price. Instead, he described it as an estimate of the market opportunity, emphasizing that transaction velocity and the amount of XRP required to provide liquidity would influence its actual valuation.

Institutional Adoption Could Increase XRP’s Utility

Digital Perspectives also discussed the growing involvement of major financial institutions in digital assets. He claimed that 18 of America’s 20 largest banks have engaged with cryptocurrency, tokenized deposits, or stablecoins through partnerships, testing, and adoption initiatives.

He referenced Ripple’s relationships with financial institutions, its more than 300 RippleNet partners, and the company’s position among the five most valuable cryptocurrency companies.

He also identified Ripple’s approved national trust bank charter as an important development. He believes further regulatory and financial infrastructure could strengthen Ripple’s position and create additional opportunities for XRP within traditional financial markets.

According to Digital Perspectives, institutions could eventually use XRP for cross-border settlement, collateral, and margin requirements. He explained that businesses may need to hold XRP to support their daily operations, potentially increasing demand for the asset.

Stablecoin Adoption Could Support XRP’s Long-Term Role

Digital Perspectives further discussed the relationship between stablecoins and XRP, describing them as complementary rather than competing technologies.

He pointed to the GENIUS Act, which is scheduled to take effect on January 18, 2027, as a potential catalyst for broader institutional stablecoin adoption. He also discussed Ripple’s stablecoin infrastructure and its ability to serve corporate treasury operations.

He believes stablecoins could introduce traditional financial institutions to blockchain-based payment systems, creating opportunities for XRP to serve additional settlement and liquidity functions.

Ultimately, Digital Perspectives maintained that XRP’s long-term value will depend on its actual use across financial markets. His $2,000 to $3,150 projections represent his valuation scenario rather than an established price target or guaranteed outcome.

The post Pundit: Stop Using Stock Math on XRP. Here’s Why $3,000 Is Possible appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto analyst JD (@jaydee_757) raised the alarm, sharing a 2-day TradingView chart from Gemini that shows a technical breakdown with serious consequences for near-term price action.

The Pattern Taking Shape

The structure JD identified is a head and shoulders formation spanning August through November. The left shoulder peaked during XRP’s sharp breakout in August. The asset consolidated briefly, then experienced another surge that formed the head in September.

The right shoulder topped out around $1.35 in October. JD was upfront about its imperfections, noting it is “not a textbook H&S, as the right shoulder is much lower than the left.” That asymmetry alone signals weakening momentum at each successive peak.

$XRP WARNING!

Potential HEAD & SHOULDERS breakdown! Not a textbook H&S, as the RIGHT SHOULDER is much lower than the LEFT!

XRP making LOWER LOWS ON 2-DAY! Former SUPPORT at $1.30 now RESISTANCE! BEARS IN CONTROL TILL RESISTANCE BREAKS pic.twitter.com/yPZrmHczFM

— JD (@jaydee_757) November 9, 2026

The $1.30 Level Flips

$1.30 held as support across multiple tests from September through late October. The chart shows two clear bounces off that level, marked by orange arrows. Then it broke. XRP fell toward $1 before staging a brief recovery. That recovery ran straight into $1.30 and stalled. JD stated: “Former support at $1.30 now resistance.”

That flip is significant. A level that buyers defended for months has become a strong resistance. The failed retest confirms the breakdown rather than invalidating it.

Lower Lows on the 2-Day Chart

JD flagged that XRP is “making lower lows on 2-day.” The chart confirms it. Each successive peak since September has been lower than the last. Each trough has been lower too. That sequence defines a downtrend, and the 2-day timeframe gives it additional weight beyond short-term noise.

Following the Democratic sweep during the midterms, the crypto and stock markets experienced notable declines, and XRP was not spared. The asset currently trades at $1.0963. That puts it roughly 16% below the broken $1.30 support level.

Bears in Control

JD stated: “Bears in control till resistance breaks.” Until XRP reclaims $1.30 on a sustained basis, the path of least resistance stays down. The retest of the resistance pushed XRP down sharply. It is now heading toward $1, which is the next logical support.

XRP is now well below the head and shoulder neckline, and nothing in the current chart structure suggests buyers have stepped in with enough conviction to reverse the trend.

The post Analyst Warns XRP Holders: Bears In Control Until This Happens appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Although he remains bullish on XRP and XRPL over the long term, he believes the network needs stronger execution, deeper liquidity, and meaningful adoption to fulfill its potential. His comments also place greater responsibility on Ripple to use its resources and industry influence to support the ecosystem’s development.

In a lengthy post on X, Panos shared his perspective after more than a decade in the cryptocurrency industry and several years of building and contributing to the XRP ecosystem. He explained that supporting XRP’s long-term prospects does not require anyone to defend every decision or blindly support the people directing its future.

There seems to be a big controversy around XRP and XRPL. Again.

Here’s my perspective after more than a decade in this space, as an XRP holder and someone who spent years building and contributing to this ecosystem.

Panos Raises Concerns Over XRPL’s Performance

Panos confirmed that he remains bullish on XRP and XRPL in the long term. However, he expressed a different view of the network’s current direction and the decisions that shape its development.

He pointed to declining ecosystem metrics, including total value locked (TVL), liquidity, and trading volumes. The chart accompanying his X post showed that XRPL currently records approximately $5 million in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) volume and around $35 million in TVL.

Panos believes these figures should concern the community, considering XRPL’s history, industry connections, and access to resources. He questioned the network’s limited liquidity, lack of diverse applications, and shortage of compelling assets that ordinary users can access.

He also stressed that announcements and partnerships cannot establish adoption on their own. Integrations and tokenization initiatives must generate actual demand, attract users, and increase activity across the network. In his view, XRPL needs products that people actively use rather than another series of promises and promotional statements.

Ripple’s Success Does Not Guarantee XRP Growth

Panos also distinguished between Ripple’s success as a company, XRPL’s growth as a network, and XRP’s ability to capture value from that growth.

He explained that progress in one area does not automatically guarantee progress in the others. Even if Ripple expands its business and XRPL attracts more activity, XRP holders still need a clear explanation of how that growth creates sustained demand for the token.

He therefore questioned the economic mechanism that connects network utility to XRP’s value. Panos maintained that holders have every reason to ask how increased activity benefits the token and that these questions do not constitute fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD).

Panos Places Greater Responsibility On Ripple

Panos also addressed Ripple’s influence over the ecosystem. Although he acknowledged that Ripple does not control XRPL unilaterally, he stressed that the company’s financial resources, industry relationships, and market position give it significant power to accelerate development.

He believes smaller independent teams cannot compensate for a lack of urgency from an organization with Ripple’s resources, particularly when limited network activity and revenue make it difficult for developers to sustain their projects.

Panos added that he has raised these concerns for more than a year while documenting his experiences as a builder and the challenges facing independent teams.

Despite his criticism, he emphasized that he wants XRPL to succeed. He explained that he has reduced his community involvement because of persistent disagreements and the gap between promised developments and delivered results.

He now focuses on building useful products and bringing them to users. However, he believes XRPL needs stronger execution, meaningful adoption, and a community willing to demand better results.

The post Anodos CEO Shares Major What Drags XRP and XRP Ledger Behind appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Hilton said in a recent post that institutions are buying XRP and everything else, and the on-chain data is backing that claim up.

Institutions Are Buying Across the Board

Hilton has noted that institutional buyers are active across multiple major assets right now. “They’re buying Bitcoin, they’re buying Ethereum, they’re buying Solana, they’re buying XRP,” he said. MicroStrategy added 1,036 Bitcoin recently, bringing its total holdings to over 850,000 BTC.

Bitmine, the world’s largest Ethereum holder, continues to purchase as well. The buying is not selective. It is systematic.

Institutions are buying XRP (and everything else)! pic.twitter.com/FZ31EI1tdK

— Austin Hilton (@austinahilton) November 9, 2026

XRP Whale Activity Is Rising

The numbers on the XRP side are specific. There are now 2,147 public wallets holding at least 1 million XRP each. That figure has grown by 28 new wallets. On top of that, 60 million+ XRP has been accumulated recently.

Meanwhile, 104 million XRP has moved off major exchanges in the last seven days. Exchange supply is declining and Hilton describes this pattern as an accumulation signal. Large holders are buying at current levels, then moving assets into cold wallets for long-term storage.

Price Levels and the Institutional Strategy

XRP is currently around 70% below its all-time high of $3.65. Ethereum sits 57% below its peak. These are significant drawdowns. Hilton’s view is that institutions treat these conditions differently from retail investors. “They have no emotion in these acquisitions,” he said. “It is purely an investment strategy.”

Institutions buy during red periods, hold defined accumulation zones, and exit with profit at target levels. Retail investors tend to react emotionally and sell during downturns.

Technical Signals Align With the Accumulation Thesis

XRP is trading below its 200-day moving average. Hilton’s X1 Algo tool is generating a buy signal at current levels. Past signals on XRP produced moves of 48% in 12 days, 42% over 74 days, and 44% from buy to sell. Hilton sees current conditions aligning with those prior setups.

A Question of Participation

Hilton closed with a clear summary of his view. “The institutions are buying, guys, so it’s kind of up to you if you want to be playing in this market or not.” XRP at $1.09, with exchange supply falling and whale wallet counts rising, presents a data point that retail investors may want to consider.

Institutional buyers do not wait for certainty. They act on price levels and hold through volatility. Following their lead could be profitable for many retail investors.

The post Institutions Are Buying XRP. Here’s What Happened appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Into that environment, Dom Kwok, co-founder of the crypto education platform EasyA, posted a simple message to his followers: “whatever happens we’re not going to zero so stay calm.”

Kwok Holds His Ground

Kwok has always maintained a bullish stance on XRP, consistently predicting that the asset will hit $1,000 by 2030. While XRP’s performance does not directly support that view, he has maintained his hopeful tone about the asset’s future.

whatever happens we’re not going to zero so stay calm

— Dom Kwok | EasyA (@dom_kwok) November 8, 2026

His post has also drawn some scrutiny. One commenter questioned the consistency of his messaging, noting that Kwok had recently posted that something was “happening,” then said he was waiting to buy a slight dip, and was now posting “whatever happens,” suggesting the asset may fall further.

XRP’s Recent Performance

XRP entered November already under pressure. Democrats won control of both the House and Senate on November 3, flipping expectations that a Republican-controlled Congress would deliver crypto-friendly legislation.

The CLARITY Act, had already failed a Senate cloture vote 49-50 in September. With Democrats now set to take Congress in January 2027, the bill’s prospects look uncertain at best.

XRP experienced a brief rise, then fell immediately after election results came in. It has continued sliding since. At $1.08, analysts now identify $1 as the only significant support level remaining. A confirmed break below that level opens the door to downside targets as low as $0.65.

The XRP Army Responds

Reactions to Kwok’s post covered a wide range of positions. One commenter said that averaging into the lows of a pullback is the best way to secure favorable prices, adding that investors will wish they had bought more once prices recover.

One market participant called the $1.10 level as a key zone and expected a bounce from there. Another pushed back on the “diamond hands” framing, saying it is easy to hold with conviction when financial pressure is low. He said emotions become harder to manage when investors have sacrificed basic expenses to participate in the market and Christmas is approaching.

One investor laid out a roadmap for XRP. He expects the asset to drop to $0.66 and then to $0.24. Following that decline, he predicts a swift recovery to $2.10, followed by a move to $3.80 and $7.

The post Dom Kwok Says XRP Is Not Going to Zero. Here’s why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

BSCN (@BSCNews) shared the CEO’s comments, adding a notable voice to a debate that has grown increasingly heated.

Philion’s Case for XRP Independence

Philion believes XRP’s future should not depend entirely on Ripple’s decisions. Rather than focusing on price speculation or placing the burden of XRP’s success on Ripple’s executive team, he wants the community to concentrate on finding practical use cases for idle XRP. In his view, there is more to be done for the token than waiting on Ripple to deliver a price outcome.

The post arrives as Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and CTO Emeritus David Schwartz face mounting pressure from XRP holders frustrated by the gap between Ripple’s business growth and XRP’s price performance.

Garlinghouse has publicly called XRP Ripple’s North Star, while Schwartz has defended the company’s long-term institutional strategy. Neither response has fully satisfied a community watching XRP trade over 70% below its all-time high.

— BSCN (@BSCNews) November 9, 2026

What the Community is Saying

The reaction to Philion’s post revealed divided sentiment. One response pushed back firmly, arguing that XRP’s value absolutely should depend on Ripple, since that is the foundational premise investors accepted when buying in. He called the idea of investors finding their own return pathways the “stupidest thing I have heard to date.”

Another took a more measured view, acknowledging that Philion’s desire for separation could allow XRP to chart its own course, but questioning how sustainable that would be without the infrastructure and support Ripple provides.

One reply cut straight to the structural reality, noting that Ripple owns the majority of XRP’s supply. This makes true independence a complicated proposition. Another commenter pointed out that prioritizing utility over speculation is the only way digital assets survive for long.

The Bigger Picture

Philion’s comments arrive at a tense moment for XRP holders. Ripple continues to expand into stablecoins and institutional products, and community frustration is growing as some believe the company will replace XRP with RLUSD.

Many are questioning whether its efforts will ever translate into price performance, but Philion is not criticizing Ripple directly. He is making a case for a more self-sufficient XRP ecosystem where utility drives value rather than corporate decisions alone.

The post Flare CEO Wants XRP to Break Free From Ripple’s Shadow, XRP Army Reacts appeared first on Times Tabloid.

It is trading around $1.09, and community members are becoming increasingly vocal about what they see as a disconnect between XRP’s price and the growth of the XRP Ledger.

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has weighed in on the current situation, in a series of posts on X. He addressed some of the assumptions driving that frustration, and challenged the idea that the XRP Ledger can succeed without some of that value going to XRP.

What is Not Driving XRP’s Price

Schwartz was clear about one thing: the argument that XRP’s use as a fee currency on the XRP Ledger will push its price higher is not one that serious analysts or developers have made. He distanced himself from that narrative entirely, suggesting it has taken on a life of its own without credible backing.

I really do think it's hard to believe we will end up in a world where XRPL is successful but XRP fails to capture a good fraction of that value.

— David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz (@JoelKatz) November 9, 2026

Why XRPL Success Still Matters for XRP

Where Schwartz did plant his flag was on the broader question of network adoption. Referencing a post he made in November 2025, he outlined why he believes a thriving XRP Ledger would almost certainly translate into value for XRP.

The token holds a unique position within the network. It carries no counterparty risk, and it is not tied to any single country’s legal framework. It also functions as the backbone of the ledger’s autobridging system, a feature that automatically routes trades through XRP when two currencies lack a direct market between them.

Taken together, these qualities mean XRP is not incidental to the ledger’s operation but central to it. Schwartz argued that imagining a version of events where the XRPL becomes a globally significant network while XRP captures none of that value is simply not realistic.

The Ledger’s Original Mission

Schwartz was also careful to separate the network’s design philosophy from price speculation. The XRP Ledger was built to move money quickly and cheaply, with decentralized exchange capabilities included from the beginning. Driving up the value of XRP was not part of that original mandate.

Schwartz on His Own Influence

Answering a question on whether he personally can move markets, Schwartz explained his influence. He acknowledged that his ability to affect XRP’s price is “probably not nothing,” but his influence is negligible. He described it as very little, if anything at all.

The post David Schwartz Just Debunked Major XRP Price Myth appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Her latest chart analysis identifies $1.10 as an important level for XRP, while a potential Wave 3 could provide the confirmation that the recent decline has ended. However, she also warns that XRP could revisit lower support levels if the current recovery fails.

XRP Completes Five-Wave Decline With Bullish RSI Divergence

In her November 9 post on X, CasiTrades explained that XRP briefly dropped below the macro 0.786 Fibonacci level on Coinbase, reaching approximately $1.075. She identified this move as the completion of a five-wave corrective structure within Wave 2.

The analyst also pointed to a bullish RSI divergence on the chart as further evidence that the correction could be approaching its conclusion. This technical signal occurs when the price records a lower low while the Relative Strength Index forms a higher low, suggesting that selling momentum may be weakening.

— CasiTrades (@CasiTrades) November 9, 2026

CasiTrades described the combination of the completed five-wave structure, the Fibonacci level and the bullish RSI divergence as the confirmation she had been waiting to see.

XRP has since recovered from its low and returned to test the Fibonacci level. CasiTrades now wants to see whether buyers can generate enough momentum to push the cryptocurrency toward its next major resistance.

$1.65 Resistance Remains Important For Wave 3 Confirmation

CasiTrades identified $1.65 as the major resistance XRP needs to overcome as the market transitions into a potential Wave 3. She explained that the price reaction around this level will help determine whether the corrective phase has ended or whether XRP needs another move toward lower support.

In the comments, an X user named Vincent asked whether the first Wave 3 target remained around $2.90. CasiTrades confirmed the target and explained that XRP should produce a stronger upward move through the $1.65 resistance as it approaches that price.

She described this stronger breakout as the first major indication that XRP has established its bottom.

CasiTrades Identifies Three Major XRP Support Levels

Despite her expectations for a possible recovery, CasiTrades advised traders to remain focused on key support levels rather than emotional reactions to market movements.

She identified $1.10, $1.00 and $0.90 as important buying opportunities on Coinbase. Her chart also shows a lower support region around $0.87, which could become relevant if XRP experiences another significant decline.

The analyst cautioned that exchange prices can differ considerably. She specifically noted that major support levels on Binance sit approximately $0.10 below their Coinbase equivalents.

CasiTrades also referenced ongoing global events and market uncertainty, describing these conditions as typical features of a Wave 2 correction.

She concluded that XRP could regain upward momentum at any time, encouraging XRP traders to remain patient and make decisions based on established technical levels.

The post Expert Says XRP Momentum Could Kick In At Any Time. Here’s why appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The analyst now considers the $1.11–$1.07 range the final potential support area before the market risks a more significant technical breakdown. Despite the declining price, Egrag Crypto continues to accumulate XRP while waiting for stronger confirmation before considering leveraged positions.

XRP Faces Critical Support Between $1.11 And $1.07

In his latest analysis posted on X, Egrag Crypto described the current price movement as the worst-case scenario he had outlined in previous chart updates. He explained that his preferred scenario involved XRP bouncing from $1.18, but the cryptocurrency failed to produce the recovery he anticipated.

His accompanying daily chart shows XRP approaching a major ascending support trendline, with the analyst identifying $1.11 and $1.07 as important levels to monitor. The chart also marks $1.1111 as a reference level near the current price, while $1.07 represents another potential area where buyers could attempt to prevent further losses.

#XRP – THE WORST-CASE SCENARIO IS PLAYING OUT!

I've shared this chart countless times. Now the downside scenario is unfolding!

My preferred setup was a bounce from $1.18, but #XRP had other plans.

HERE'S WHERE WE STAND:

$1.11–$1.07: Final potential support zone.

… pic.twitter.com/K6mMSwBVcn

— EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) November 9, 2026

Egrag Crypto also maintained that XRP could decline to $1 without necessarily destroying its broader higher-low structure. This means the cryptocurrency could experience another downward move while preserving its longer-term technical formation.

However, he identified a daily close below $1.07 as a much more serious development. Such a move could indicate a structural breakdown of the entire formation rather than a temporary loss of support.

Egrag Crypto Continues Accumulating XRP Despite Downside Risk

Although the analyst acknowledged the possibility of additional losses, he confirmed that he continues to accumulate XRP through spot purchases.

Egrag Crypto explained that he approaches the current price levels strategically and accepts that the market could move lower before establishing a recovery. His decision to continue buying suggests that he maintains confidence in XRP’s longer-term outlook despite the immediate weakness on the chart.

He also distinguished his spot investment strategy from his approach to leveraged trading. Rather than rushing into leveraged positions during the decline, he wants to see confirmation from XRP’s price action before considering an entry.

His position reflects a preference for accumulating the asset without introducing the additional risks associated with leveraged exposure.

XRP Recovery Targets Extend To $1.80

On the recovery side, Egrag Crypto identified four price levels that XRP would need to reclaim as it attempts to reverse its current decline.

His chart places the first recovery target at $1.25, followed by $1.43. A stronger recovery could then take XRP toward $1.63 and eventually $1.80.

The chart also shows the 100-day exponential moving average and several trendlines that help define the technical structure surrounding these levels.

For now, Egrag Crypto maintains his conviction but insists that price action must confirm the next move. His closing message reinforces his preference for spot accumulation over rushed leveraged trades: “SPOT IS KING. LEVERAGE IS A TOOL.”

The post Egrag Crypto Says XRP’s Worst-Case Scenario Is Playing Out. Here’s What Happened appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Trader and analyst Crypto Michael (@MichaelXBT) is watching closely. He revealed in a post that he closed a short position at $1.22 and is waiting for confirmation before committing to the other side of the trade.

XRP Holds At a Critical Level

After the rally in August that pushed to around $1.70, XRP has carved out a consistent pattern of lower highs and lower lows inside a descending channel. The asset now sits at $1.0878, pressing against the lower boundary of that channel.

Crypto Michael noted that XRP is at crucial support. The lower channel line has defined the floor of this structure throughout the entire move. A hold at this level would be significant.

XRP is at key support here.

I closed my XRP short at $1.22 and have been waiting for confirmation of a bottom before buying again.

We should be close. pic.twitter.com/y06Fw8dPrN

— Crypto Michael (@MichaelXBT) November 9, 2026

A Disciplined Exit Sets Up the Next Trade

Crypto Michael’s short was well-timed. He entered during the broader decline and closed at $1.22, capturing a solid portion of the move downward. Rather than immediately flipping long, he stepped aside. He is “waiting for confirmation of a bottom” before buying again.

That patience is deliberate. XRP has continued lower since his exit, reaching $1.0878 at the time of his post. His decision to wait has kept him out of the chop between $1.22 and current levels.

What the Channel Structure Shows

The descending channel on the daily chart runs from mid-August through early November. The upper boundary has consistently capped relief rallies. Each attempt to push higher has stalled and reversed. The lower boundary has provided temporary support at multiple points, though price has continued to grind lower overall.

The current price is sitting directly on that lower boundary. The channel support zone sits between roughly $1.05 and $1.09. A sustained hold above this area is the first requirement for any bullish case to develop.

If price stabilizes here and begins to build structure, the mid-channel area around $1.20 to $1.35 becomes the initial area of interest on any recovery. The upper boundary of the channel sits higher, but that target only becomes relevant after XRP proves it can reclaim ground.

Confirmation is the Key

Crypto Michael has not called a bottom yet. He has identified a level where that bottom could form and stated he is waiting for confirmation before acting. That distinction is important. The channel support is a zone to watch, not a guaranteed reversal point. He believes the trade is close, but his approach prioritizes evidence over anticipation.
