📉 Is the Price of XRP Being Deliberately Held Back? Maybe Yes, and Here’s Why

Many are asking: "Why hasn't XRP skyrocketed yet even though Ripple won in court, has hundreds of bank partners, and ready-to-use technology?" The real answer may be more strategic than we think.

🧩 Price Strategy Theory: Held Back for Global Adoption Efficiency

XRP is Needed by Banks as the "Oil of the Transaction Machine"

If the price of XRP spikes too quickly (e.g., $5–$10) before ETF or full adoption happens, then:

Operational costs for interbank transactions will also surge.

This is counterproductive for Ripple's goal: cross-border efficiency.

Price Held in a “Rational” Range ($0.5 – $2)

It could be that Ripple (and partner institutions) are indirectly allowing the market to remain in healthy consolidation so that:

Infrastructure is ready,

Banks are comfortable accumulating and integrating,

And regulations like ETFs can be completed first.

After ETFs and Regulations Clear, Prices Can Be “Released”

At this point, natural demand from:

massive interbank transactions,

CBDC integration in RippleNet,

and increased on-chain volume,

➤ will gradually push the price of XRP up organically, aided by the deflationary effect of burning fees.

💣 This is What Opponents of XRP Might Fear:

XRP doesn’t need mining, doesn’t need complicated smart contracts.

Just with the ongoing global transaction volume, its price can rise because:

Supply decreases (burn),

Demand increases (institutions),

And all of this happens without speculative hype.

🔁 While other projects rise due to FOMO, XRP can rise because of real function. This is much stronger and harder to refute.$XRP $TRUMP #Ripple #SEC #BinanceSquareTalks
