Edoardo Farina, a well-known figure in the XRP community and founder of Alpha Lions Academy, has publicly commended long-term
$XRP holders for their persistence and commitment to truth in the face of skepticism. As the Head of Adoption Strategy at XRP Healthcare, Farina emphasized that community members have consistently demonstrated foresight and courage by standing firm in their convictions—even during the most challenging moments in XRP’s history.
“We Spoke the Truth When Others Stayed Silent”
Farina highlighted the
$XRP community’s early recognition of market trends and legal developments that were eventually validated. “We spoke the truth when others stayed silent,” he said, referring to the community’s vocal support during the lengthy legal proceedings between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which began in December 2020.
At the time,
$XRP was trading around $0.50, and many outside the community doubted a favorable outcome. However, in a landmark 2023 decision, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP does not constitute a security, validating what many XRP advocates had long asserted.
From Vision to Reality: Ripple’s Banking Aspirations
Farina also referenced another early prediction made by XRP supporters: Ripple’s intention to become a regulated banking institution. Initially dismissed as speculative, this prediction gained significant credibility when Ripple—through its subsidiary Standard Custody & Trust—filed for a master account with the U.S. Federal Reserve to support its RLUSD stablecoin operations.
Ripple has also announced plans to pursue a full banking license in the United States, a move supported in 2024 by former Federal Reserve advisor and early Ripple investor Greg Kidd. These developments further strengthen the perception that XRP supporters have been ahead of the curve in recognizing the company’s long-term strategic direction.
XRP Surpasses $2 – A Milestone Celebrated
After years of price stagnation between $0.50 and $0.60, XRP broke through the $2 mark in November 2024, a milestone that many in the community had anticipated for years. The achievement served as a moment of validation for those who remained confident in the asset's potential despite prolonged market doubt.
Looking Ahead: Bold Yet Grounded Visions
The XRP community now turns its attention to a series of ambitious—but increasingly plausible—scenarios, including:
XRP capturing a share of daily SWIFT transaction volume
XRP Ledger (XRPL) becoming a leading platform for asset tokenization
XRP achieving a double-digit price point
While these targets may appear aspirational, Farina and others in the community believe that past validations support their vision. Their confidence stems from a consistent record of recognizing trends early and standing firm in the face of industry skepticism.
> “This community has shown time and again that being on the right side of history requires both patience and conviction,” Farina concluded.
