Despite strong fundamentals, XRP’s price remains stuck. A popular XRP analyst, 589Bull, claims this isn’t accidental — it’s a strategy.

Why XRP Price Is Falling Despite Bullish News

XRP has dropped 32% in February and March 2025 and is slightly down in April, currently trading at $2.08. This comes despite major bullish events, including:

  • Progress on XRP Spot ETFs by Franklin Templeton and Bitwise

  • Launch of a leveraged XRP ETF

  • Ripple’s $1.3B acquisition of Hidden Road

  • Ripple and SEC agreeing to drop appeals in their legal battle

    “Price Is the Trap” – 589Bull’s Theory

    589Bull argues:

    • Retail investors focus on price, but real progress is hidden.

    • Institutions are quietly preparing for adoption (ETFs, ISINs, DLT corridors).

    • The market is designed to shake out early holders before the big move.

    He calls this a “game of perception,” where fear dominates while real infrastructure is being built behind the scenes.

    The Real Value Is Hidden

    According to 589Bull:

    • XRP’s fundamentals are solid

    • The price drop is not a failure, but a setup

    • The public may miss out if they sell too early

    • Bottom Line

    XRP’s price may not reflect its real value right now. While risky, holding through volatility could be key — if the behind-the-scenes developments pay off.
