The cryptocurrency market has always been full of surprises — and one coin that’s made serious growth recently is XRP. From trading at just a few cents not long ago, XRP has skyrocketed to $2.40, even briefly overtaking Tether to grab the third spot on the crypto leaderboard. With all the ongoing developments, it’s natural to wonder: Is XRP gearing up to become the next Bitcoin?

The FOMO Factor

Dave Portnoy, owner of DDTG Global, recently spoke out about the growing crypto craze. Sharing a personal story, he revealed how he got outbid on an apartment in Miami by a crypto investor. “Just like that,” he said. “Bitcoin’s up to about $100k. I’ve worked hard for 20 years and yes — there’s 100% FOMO on everything now.”

Portnoy admitted that while Bitcoin feels more established today, coins like XRP are now catching the attention of people chasing the next big opportunity. “But that’s why I am in XRP. It’s FOMO. It’s not like I have some brand belief in it. What if that’s the next Bitcoin?”
