NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen has joined the growing list of high-profile figures expressing optimism about the future of XRP.
In a recent tweet, Pippen shared his enthusiasm for a variety of digital assets, including XRP. “BULLish on XRP,” Pippen revealed. This signals his strong support for the digital currency at the forefront of revolutionizing cross-border payments.
XRP is known for its fast and low-cost transactions. It continues to gain attention from institutional investors and financial institutions worldwide.
Pippen’s Suggests XRP Could Overtake Ethereum
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Pippen has publicly expressed interest in XRP. Three months ago, Pippen, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, ignited a debate in the crypto community over which cryptocurrency—XRP or Ethereum—will dominate the 2025 bull run.
Pippen’s post on X social media invited opinions, with XRP supporters pointing to SEC-reviewed ETFs as a potential catalyst for XRP’s rise.
Some suggested that XRP’s recent price surge in November, which outpaced Ethereum’s growth, signals a shift from XRP’s historical underperformance, making it more likely to dominate.
Notably, prominent figures like BitBoy and John Deaton have predicted that XRP could surpass Ethereum in valuation.
Pippen’s Broader Crypto Outlook
In addition to his confidence in XRP, Pippen extended his optimism to other leading cryptocurrencies. They include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). Specifically, he said he is bullish on all of them.
Moreover, he stated that he is “BULLish on the future of crypto,” reflecting his broader positive outlook on the growth of the digital asset space.
Notably, this post has attracted massive engagement from the XRP and broader crypto community as they weigh its significance.
One community member commented that she would have never forecasted when she met Pippen years ago that he would be a financial analyst and motivator, but “here we are.”
Meanwhile, some critics have raised concerns about his endorsement. One commenter claimed that Pippen was previously shilling Bitcoin and questioned why he was “suddenly” bullish on other altcoins.
