Angel Investor Says XRP Doesn’t Need to Hit $10,000 to Change Your Life

The real value of XRP is not in its price but in its return on investment and utility, according to Armando Pantoja, an angel investor and crypto influencer.

He emphasized that XRP does not need to reach $10,000 to deliver meaningful returns for holders. Pantoja expressed this perspective in a recent video, addressing the common frustration among XRP holders about the token’s lack of dramatic price movement.

He noted that many retail investors are ready to give up, feeling that XRP is stagnant while other cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, continue to break records. However, Pantoja argues that this view misses the bigger picture.

Notably, Bitcoin set a new all-time high near $112,000 this month. In contrast, XRP remained around $2.30, failing to benefit from Bitcoin’s momentum. While this divergence has been a hot topic, Pantoja believes the discussion often overlooks the true value proposition.

Price Doesn’t Equal Potential

Instead of focusing solely on price, Pantoja emphasizes the importance of return on investment (ROI). He noted that while XRP trades below $3, its growth potential should be assessed relative to its cost of entry.

For example, tripling your investment in Bitcoin would require the asset to surpass $300,000. In contrast, XRP would only need to rise to just under $8 to deliver the same ROI.

He also points out that XRP’s market cap is only about 7% of Bitcoin’s, making significant percentage gains more feasible.

Pantoja believes that investors often overestimate the importance of absolute price targets and underestimate the ability of smaller-cap assets to deliver outsized returns.

Another argument XRP proponents use to counter the frustration surrounding XRP’s stagnation is its long-term performance. Notably, Bitcoin is up 52% over the past year, relative to its current price of $103,800.

Meanwhile, XRP, trading at $2.13, has seen a more impressive 312% gain over the same period.#XRPUtility
