A leading crypto analyst recently acknowledged that the hardest part of holding XRP is staying patient through its long periods of underperformance. Despite strong fundamentals and Ripple’s growing influence in real-world payments, XRP’s price has lagged behind other major cryptocurrencies. However, the expert emphasized that this phase is temporary. He believes XRP is building momentum for a major breakout as regulatory clarity improves and institutional adoption increases. According to him, “XRP holders just need to endure the quiet phase — because its real moment is closer than most think.”
