Crypto pundit and XRP enthusiast Arthur (@XrpArthur) has shared an argument for holding XRP over the long term.
In a recent post on X, he said that anyone unable to hold XRP for 2 years does not deserve gains from the next price expansion. His comments reflect strong confidence in XRP’s future as regulation advances and infrastructure around the XRP Ledger continues to develop.
My honest take on XRP:
If you can’t hold for 2 years, you don’t deserve the next expansion. Think about it…
Where were you 2 years ago? How fast did that go?Now imagine where XRP, RLUSD and the whole XRPL ecosystem will be 2 years from now with regulation coming, institutional… pic.twitter.com/YgCqw4pkAp

Holding Requires Discipline
Arthur focused on patience. He noted that the past two years have passed quickly, suggesting that holders should consider where XRP, RLUSD, and the XRPL ecosystem could stand in 2 years from now. “Buy. Hold. Forget,” he wrote, emphasizing a hands-off approach once a position is established. His tone made it clear that short-term fluctuations are irrelevant to the long-term goal.
He also pointed to the maturation of the XRP ecosystem. Regulation is starting to arrive. Institutional rails are also being built. XRP utilities are beginning to be priced in. These factors, he suggested, make long-term holding a strategic move rather than a speculative bet.
XRP Community’s Reactions
Responses to Arthur’s post were mixed. One community member agreed, showing support for his long-term view. However, another commenter expressed frustration, writing, “Been holding for 3 years and all these supposed catalysts didn’t do a damn thing.”
Their comment captures the impatience felt by holders who have seen years of stalled price action despite technical and regulatory progress. However, XRP is in a much better place than it was two years ago. The digital asset’s peak in December 2023 was $0.69. It currently trades at $1.87, after hitting an all-time high of $3.65 in July, and it could close December just under $2.

Confidence in XRP’s Trajectory
Arthur’s stance is clearly bullish, though grounded in structural developments rather than hype. He highlighted regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and the growth of RLUSD as key drivers for the asset’s next phase. His confidence rests on fundamentals that are still unfolding, not on past performance or short-term catalysts.
The focus on RLUSD also signals belief in Ripple’s broader strategy. Stablecoins on the XRP Ledger provide utility that goes beyond speculation. They enable liquidity, fast settlements, and easy access for institutional participants. Arthur’s post ties these developments to the idea that XRP’s value may rise as these functions gain recognition and adoption.
Long-Term Strategy
Arthur’s call is simple but clear. Hold XRP, let the ecosystem mature, and allow time to do the heavy lifting. His message challenges short-term thinking and encourages disciplined participation. Investors who follow his guidance must be patient.
