A compelling warning has been issued in a recent episode of the Good Evening Crypto YouTube show, urging XRP investors to reconsider their exit strategies as they face what could be one of the most significant cryptocurrency cycles to date.
Host Abdullah Nassif, known as “Abs,” strongly advised against selling XRP, citing regulatory advancements and the tokenization of physical assets as indicators that the current cycle might just be beginning for XRP’s valuation.
### The Key Principle for XRP Investors
Abs highlighted a viewpoint shared by another speaker who emphasized that XRP holders should refrain from selling, particularly during upcoming price surges. “Maintain a minimum of 10,000 units in cold storage,” the speaker advised. “Selling your XRP during price spikes is the worst decision you could make. It will create issues.”
This guidance is rooted in the belief that XRP will capitalize on the future surge in the tokenization of real-world assets. Abs explained that the influx of trillions of dollars into blockchain ecosystems through tokenized assets is imminent, with the XRP Ledger poised to capture a substantial share of this activity. “Tokenization is predicted to expand from a few billion dollars today to $19 trillion by 2030,” he noted. This growth, alongside XRP’s pivotal role, suggests that current holders could be in possession of wealth that spans generations if they resist the temptation to exit prematurely.
During the episode, Abs and co-host “Johnny Crypto” discussed several catalysts they believe will usher XRP into a new phase. One such catalyst is the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a $1.6 trillion economic stimulus package that could inject liquidity into the markets. Abs believes this influx will attract regular investors to riskier assets like XRP.
He also mentioned potential legal developments, noting the SEC might soon decide to withdraw its appeal in the Ripple case. Additionally, the potential approval of 19 different XRP ETFs, expected to launch around October 18, is seen as another positive driver.
Abs suggested that once XRP consistently closes above $3.25, the price chart could move in unprecedented ways. There’s even a possibility of XRP surpassing the $10 mark in 2025. Nonetheless, he cautioned against the mistake of selling too soon.
### The Argument for Long-Term Holding
Interestingly, co-host Johnny Crypto pointed out that the most favorable catalyst could be a change in the Federal Reserve’s leadership, with a new Chair lowering interest rates. “This would make riskier assets, including crypto, top beneficiaries,” he said.
Johnny Crypto added a personal touch by recounting his past mistake of selling Amazon stock too early in 1997, which cost him $52 million in missed profits. This time, he plans to hold onto his XRP, considering placing it in a trust or borrowing against it to ensure long-term exposure.
He also warned of a potential threat, suggesting that banks might soon try to gain control over crypto assets like XRP from individual investors. “We’re not that far off,” he stated. “In the next year, we might hear about banks getting involved in crypto.”
At the time of writing, XRP is priced at $3.26.
