Price declines often test the conviction of investors, and XRP has spent recent trading sessions weeding out weak hands. Today, the token went a step further, falling to levels not seen since late November. Expectations around ETFs, supply dynamics, and timing have all faced pressure.
Yet some long-term holders remain firm. Their confidence does not rest on recent price action. It rests on belief in the asset’s future value.
A Public Admission of Missed Expectations
Crypto enthusiast Future XRP (@the5blairs) offered a candid reflection on the current market. He acknowledged a series of incorrect assumptions. He wrote that he did not believe XRP would “ever drop this low again.”
He also expected double-digit prices by now. Those expectations failed to materialize. He admitted that ETF inflows have not delivered a supply shock. He also said XRP has not shocked the world in 2025.
However, the post did not signal fear. It stressed resolve. “Am I scared? No,” he wrote. He also rejected panic selling, sharing his belief that XRP will “shock the world in 2026.” The message focused on patience rather than current market trends.
I did not believe in my lifetime that $XRP would ever drop this low again. I was wrong. I believed that $XRP would be priced in the double digits by now. I was wrong. I believed that ETF inflows would create supply shock. So far I have been wrong. I believed that $XRP would…

XRP fell to $1.86 in the past 24 hours. That level marked its lowest point since late November. The asset recovered modestly and now trades near $1.92.

Multiple spot XRP ETFs have been launched over the past few months, and many investors expected those products to drive demand. That impact has not appeared in price action. Inflows failed to generate sustained upside, and the market’s response remained muted.
Why Investors Stay Bullish
Despite setbacks, Future XRP emphasized its unchanged fundamentals. He did not show fear but held his belief firmly. Like many holders, he views the current period as temporary. This confidence rests on future adoption and utility, and recent price weakness has not altered that view.
XRP holders will need to exercise patience as the asset gathers momentum for another run. For committed investors, the focus has shifted from near-term milestones to longer horizons. The market has yet to validate that stance, but the digital asset has proven in the past that patient investors reap massive rewards.
