XRP Set to Hit $5, Making Accumulation Increasingly Difficult

This warning comes as XRP finally broke the $3 barrier — hitting $3.16 — marking a psychological milestone after several failed attempts in previous months.

According to Xena, accumulating XRP is becoming increasingly difficult without a sizable investment. For example, at the current price, $1,000 only buys about 316 XRP — a sharp decline compared to July 2024, when the same amount could buy over 2,000 XRP at $0.48.

This erosion of purchasing power is causing concern among everyday investors. Xena noted that if the price continues to rise, XRP could soon be out of reach for those who once saw it as an accessible entry point into crypto.

Similar concerns were echoed by analyst Edoardo Farina when XRP hit $2. He pointed out that prices were already becoming unaffordable for regular investors trying to build substantial holdings.
