In a recent statement, Edo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy and a well-known crypto advocate, addressed the reaction of retail investors to a 5% drop in XRP’s price. He noted that many investors are selling their holdings out of panic rather than focusing on long-term potential.
Farina said such short-term reactions could lead to significant missed opportunities, especially if XRP eventually reaches a three-digit valuation. He believes that major financial institutions, including Wall Street firms, Grayscale, and BlackRock, may later seek to acquire XRP at much higher prices, possibly from those who held on through volatility.
Retail is panicking, selling $XRP for a 5% dip. But when the market flips and $XRP becomes the new standard, they'll be begging to buy it back from you at 3 digits. Wall Street, Grayscale, BlackRock, they’ll be on their knees, crying for what you HODL!
DON'T GIVE IT FOR FREE!

Other cryptocurrency enthusiasts share similar views. Sergei Ermolov commented, “If people panic when XRP dropped by 5%, I have nothing to say to them. In a year, they will remember when they sold the treasure because of the 5% drawdown.”
Another user, Silveraddict, emphasized the importance of a long-term strategy, stating, “You can’t be bothered with the day-to-day action. The powers that be know what they are doing, playing on your emotions. Buy it, put it in cold storage, and wait patiently. It will hit, and when it does, you will forget about all the waiting.”

XRP’s Current Market Position
As of February 18, 2025, data from CoinMarketCap shows that XRP is trading at $2.54, marking a 3.04% decrease from the previous close. The cryptocurrency experienced an intraday high of $2.68 and a low of $2.54. These fluctuations highlight the inherent volatility in the digital asset market, where short-term price movements often lead to reactive trading behavior.
XRP Long-Term Adoption and Future Valuation
Farina has expressed strong confidence in XRP’s long-term potential. He predicted that the asset could be widely adopted by banks, governments, and retail users globally within five years. He also envisions a future where commodities such as gold are tokenized on the XRP Ledger, reinforcing its utility in the financial sector.
Additionally, Farina believes that Ripple, the company utilizing XRP, could evolve into a multi-trillion-dollar entity. He said in such a scenario, purchasing XRP at $500 could be a favorable investment.
This perspective aligns with his advocacy for a patient and disciplined investment strategy. While the cryptocurrency market remains volatile, those who maintain their positions may stand to benefit from future growth
