$XRP 🚀 A well-known trader and XRP community voice, Diep Sanh, recently opened up about what he believes is the hardest part of being an XRP holder — patience.
Despite remaining one of the most vocal XRP bulls, Sanh admits that watching other coins rally while XRP lags can test even the most loyal investors. During the latest market recovery, XRP has struggled to keep pace, slipping to the $2.84 level and losing its position as the third-largest crypto (excluding stablecoins) to BNB.
✨ The Challenge of Holding XRP
Sanh pointed out that holding XRP requires serious discipline, especially when tokens like BNB are surging. While XRP has remained nearly flat this month — down about 0.08% — BNB has exploded by 25.85%, reaching a new all-time high of $1,347. This rally pushed BNB’s market cap to $177B, overtaking XRP’s $171B.
He described it as “painful” to watch other assets hit new highs while XRP consolidates. Still, he emphasized that this phase is part of the journey — and that patience will pay off.
✨ “XRP Will Have Its Moment”
Despite the recent struggles, Sanh remains unshaken in his bullish conviction:
> “I know this — XRP will have its moment.”
According to him, when XRP finally breaks free, its rally will be stronger and faster than most other altcoins. History supports this belief — during past cycles, XRP has often lagged behind before exploding in massive runs.
🔹 2017 Example: XRP stayed quiet for months before skyrocketing 60,000% to reach $3.31 in January 2018, becoming one of the top performers of that bull run.
🔹 2024 Replay: While Bitcoin gained modestly in October 2024, XRP dropped 16%. Yet, by November, it rebounded with a 284% rally, reaching $3.4 by January 2025.
Sanh’s outlook echoes that of other analysts, including Coach JV, who recently stated:
> “When XRP moves, it’ll move fast — and it won’t wait for anyone.”
For now, XRP may be testing its holders’ patience — but as history has shown, those who endure the waiting game often reap the biggest rewards. 💫
