Legendary Trader Peter Brandt Writes XRP Holders, Names His Preferred Coin

Tobi Loba — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 19:00:38 +0000

Peter Brandt recently took to X to share a long rant about XRP and four other major assets. He shared his belief in the concept of measured moves, saying targets and objectives aren’t sacred. Charts often fail to deliver what is first identified and morph into something else. That is the foundation of his analysis.

He trades price exclusively and says he “could care less about the fundamentals of XRP or any other coin than BTC.” To XRP fans, he believes his analysis isn’t meant as an offense. “I trade price. Price is all that matters to me.”

XRP Carries the Heaviest Overhead Supply

XRP trades at $1.51 on the weekly chart. Brandt identifies a Cup and Handle on the asset’s chart. On a larger time scale, that same C&H may be forming the right shoulder of a Head and Shoulders pattern. This is the chart change Brandt warns about. One pattern is identified only to turn into something else.

The measured move from the inverted H&S projects to $2.16, derived by applying the height of the formation to the daily closing price. The right shoulder is poorly formed and abbreviated. This would suggest further right shoulder development is likely, but not necessary.

The bigger problem is overhead supply. Brandt says there is “a TON of overhead supply to work through” in XRP and calls it a direct negative. The weekly chart confirms it, with price at $1.51 sitting well below the 2025 high of $3.65.

Excuse the rant I am about to unleash
I believe in a concept called "measured moves"
Targets or objectives are not sacred

SOL’s Cup and Handle on a Different Level

Solana trades at $121.06 on the weekly chart. Brandt describes it as showing “a Cup and Handle on a different level than XRP.” The chart shows a multi-year cup with a clear rim near $260, built across the 2021 peak and the 2024-2025 rally. The price is recovering from lows near $75 with less congestion at key resistance levels than XRP carries.

ETH and XLM Both Face Less Overhead Supply

Brandt notes ETH has “massive congestion” but without “the same type of overhead supply that we find in XRP.” Although other analysts have predicted that XRP will dominate ETH, that distinction places ETH in a structurally stronger position than XRP on that measure.

Brandt also flags XLM as carrying overhead supply similar to XRP, but with a different magnitude. That is the extent of the comparison he draws between the two. He has also previously called XLM a good pick for a long-shot bet.

XMR is Brandt’s Clear Favorite

Monero trades at $560.88. Brandt calls it his favorite by far. The weekly chart shows a long-term ascending resistance line from the 2021 high that XMR broke above in 2026. The price has continued higher since. All the overhead supply has been absorbed.

Brandt says it is “clear sailing ahead.” He doesn’t know the fundamental narrative behind XMR but believes he doesn’t need to.

What Separates All Five Assets?

Brandt’s preference comes down to one thing. XMR absorbed its overhead supply. SOL navigates it well. ETH carries congestion but avoids XRP’s specific problem. XLM shares XRP’s burden on a smaller scale. XRP carries the most of any asset in this comparison.

XRPL Validator States Why XRP Ledger is the Most Secure Network

Solomon Odunayo — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 13:30:49 +0000

XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator Vet (@Vet_X0) has used the ongoing Monero attack to highlight what he sees as XRP’s superior security model.

“You can’t execute chain reorganization attacks” on XRP, he stated, contrasting it with proof-of-work systems that depend on high hashrate incentives to remain secure.

Vet argued that these incentives can fail when network mining power is insufficient, exposing smaller chains in the process. He stated, “That’s why the XRP Ledger is the most secure network,” emphasizing its superior design.

Vet compared Monero’s vulnerability to Bitcoin’s resilience, noting that Bitcoin is “a lot harder to attack” because the cost to gain majority control of its hashrate is prohibitively high. He added that Monero “just doesn’t have enough hashrate to protect itself with high difficulty,” which makes it susceptible to the kind of takeover currently underway.

Thats why the XRP Ledger is the most secure network. You can't execute chain reorganization attacks.

All because PoW needs to house incentives.

Here on Monero, a $300 million market-cap chain is taking over a $6 billion one. https://t.co/RCykfA6qeT

— Vet (@Vet_X0) August 12, 2025

The Monero 51% Attack

Monero, a privacy-focused blockchain, recently faced a successful 51% attack. Reports state that the Qubic mining pool has gradually amassed most hashrate over several months. This control has enabled a major chain reorganization, giving Qubic the capability to rewrite the blockchain, execute double-spending, and censor transactions.

Estimates place the daily cost of sustaining the attack at $75 million. However, with Qubic effectively able to mine nearly every block, there is potential for significant rewards. At the same time, other miners face a lack of incentive to participate as their blocks can be orphaned, consolidating Qubic’s dominance.

The Superior Consensus Mechanism

Vet’s assessment centers on the difference between proof-of-work and the XRPL’s consensus protocol. On the XRPL, transactions are confirmed through a process where validators agree on the correct ledger state within seconds, while maintaining the decentralized nature and ensuring no single entity has total control.

There is no mining and no probabilistic confirmation model as seen in proof-of-work systems. This means finality is deterministic, and once a ledger is validated, it cannot be reorganized by a majority-hashrate attack, giving it a major advantage over Bitcoin and other proof-of-work blockchains.

This design serves as a structural safeguard, and Vet contrasted it with the current incident affecting Monero, where a single mining pool’s dominance has allowed them to alter the blockchain’s history. In this case, the attacking chain’s network value is around $300 million, yet it is successfully exerting control over Monero, which has a market capitalization of roughly $6 billion.

In addition to significant energy efficiency, XRP’s design offers far superior security, making it far better than Monero’s or Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism.

Monero (XMR) To Be Delisted On Binance. Here’s when and why

Adedoyin Aka — Wed, 07 Feb 2024 00:26:28 +0000

In a surprising move, Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced that it will remove four altcoins from its platform starting February 20th. The affected coins are Aragon (ANT), Multichain (MULTI), Vai (VAI), and the privacy-focused Monero (XMR), which has attracted the most attention.

While the exact reasons for these removals remain unclear, it has sparked speculation and concerns about the changing rules for cryptocurrency exchanges.

Privacy Worries and Regulatory Pressure

Experts believe that Monero’s ability to keep transactions private might be a reason for its removal. Monero has gained a reputation for being used in illicit activities due to its difficulty in tracing transactions. This has caught the attention of regulators worldwide who are pushing for stricter rules to prevent money laundering and ensure customer identification in the cryptocurrency industry.

Binance’s recent $4 billion settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adds to the intrigue. The exchange has committed to following regulations and cooperating with authorities, which makes the removal of a privacy-focused coin like Monero (XMR) seem like a strategic move in line with its new approach.

Beyond Monero (XMR): Wider Implications

The removal of these coins raises concerns about the potential impact on other projects that prioritize privacy. It’s not just Binance; other major exchanges like Coinbase have also delisted privacy coins in the past. This trend reflects the increasing pressure from regulators and could limit the availability of such projects on popular exchanges.

User Choice vs. Compliance

The removal of these coins highlights a dilemma in the crypto world – striking a balance between user choice and complying with regulations. While users appreciate having a variety of options, exchanges need to follow rules and be transparent. This is crucial for the long-term stability of the cryptocurrency industry.

The delistings on Binance raise important questions about the future of privacy in the crypto space. Will privacy coins become niche products, only available to a limited group of users? Or can they adapt to address regulatory concerns while still offering privacy features? Additionally, how can regulators and the crypto industry work together to create a framework that fosters innovation while ensuring compliance?

The removal of these coins from Binance represents a significant development in the cryptocurrency landscape, with implications that go beyond the immediate impact on the affected projects.

First Atomic Swap Providers Surface for Bitcoin-Monero Atomic Bomb on Monero Network

Tobi Loba — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 23:28:48 +0000

As a report has it, the first atomic swap providers for Bitcoin-Monero atomic bomb on the Monero network have started to surface.

It can be recalled that in May 2021, a BTC-XMR atomic swap went live on the mainnet.

Back then, the announcement read as follows:

“XMR <-> BTC atomic swaps are live on mainnet! We’re delighted to see Seth and others working to make them easily accessible such that anyone can swap trustlessly and privately!”

According to a tweet, a Menoro user has become one of the first providers on the Monero network. This implies that all Monero (XMR) users are now liable to perform swaps with the help of a command-line interface (CLI).

Going by the tweet shared by Seth By Privacy, the exchange is provided with a 20% fee that is fondly used in Bitcoin ATMs. With the availability of more swap providers on the network, the community is looking forward to reducing the fee.

Seth By Privacy noted:

“Just completed my first mainnet atomic swap (as the broker/XMR-seller) with an unnamed Bitcoiner. The process took 34min, was done entirely over Tor, required no interaction by me, and was peer-to-peer with *no* middle-man or custodian. I think I just witnessed the future.

“Second swap completed, 37min to complete and no issues at all. I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a tool in a *long* time. Docs on how to get swapping are almost completed, will share once they’re done and once I decide on a spread %.”

Second swap completed, 37min to complete and no issues at all.

I don't think I've been this excited for a tool in a *long* time.

Docs on how to get swapping are almost completed, will share once they're done and once I decide on a spread %.

Monero (XMR) and Atomic Swaps

Atomic swap is a decentralized way of swapping or exchanging coins without third parties’ inference.

Due to the fact that Monero (XMR) is a privacy coin, atomic swaps were highly anticipated by the community. As aforementioned, users will still be using CLI to swap until when graphic interfaces are ready.
