As XRP trades near its all-time high, long-time investors are relishing the moment.
Currently trading at $3.46, XRP is up 72% over the past month. Looking at the one-year scale, the gains are even more impressive, with a massive 478% increase.
Given how much XRP has appreciated in recent months, this article explores the current value of a $10,000 investment made in XRP just eight months ago, when it sold at $0.50.
What $10,000 in XRP Then Is Worth Now
Notably, XRP last traded at the $0.50 level on November 11, 2024. Since then, its price has followed an upward trajectory without looking back.
In the first week of November, before the peak of this uptrend, one could have purchased 20,000 XRP tokens with a $10,000 investment. For comparison, investing $10,000 in XRP today would only buy only about 2,890 tokens.
Considering XRP’s price peaked at $3.66, the original $10,000 investment would have grown to $73,200. This represents a staggering 632% return in less than nine months. Even after a slight pullback from the peak, the portfolio would still be worth approximately $72,000.
Importantly, these numbers are not hypothetical. Several XRP influencers have publicly shared the profits they’ve earned from holding XRP over the years.
Analysts Declaring Massive Profits from Holding XRP
Earlier this week, analyst CrediBULL revealed he is up more than 19x from the $10,000 he invested to buy 53,692 XRP at $0.1835 each in 2019. His portfolio reached a peak valuation of $196,512 on July 18.
According to him, the current gains are just the beginning. He predicts XRP could reach $30 within the next 12 months.
Similarly, crypto YouTuber Moon Lambo reported a 14x return on his XRP investment. He first purchased XRP in November 2017 at an average price of $0.25 and claims he hasn’t sold any since. Despite market volatility, his confidence in XRP’s fundamentals kept him committed.
These impressive returns have emboldened XRP influencers to encourage others not to fade XRP and to increase their exposure to the coin.
HODL for the Long Term
Moon Lambo has urged the XRP community to adopt a long-term mindset, emphasizing that the current rally is just the beginning. Other long-time advocates of this view include Edoardo Farina and Oscar Ramos.
According to Ramos, many will regret not fully committing to XRP. Two weeks ago, he urged investors to prioritize the coin, and since then, XRP has surged 52.5%.
Ramos believes ignoring XRP’s positive momentum could be a costly mistake, a sentiment now echoed by media personality Dave Portnoy, who sold $3 million worth of XRP just before the coin spiked 60%.
Edoardo Farina, in his own commentary, warned that even selling XRP at $10 could be a lifetime mistake. He argues that taking early profits may lead to deep regret if XRP reaches its full potential in future cycles.
Drawing parallels with Bitcoin, Farina emphasized patience and speculates that XRP could one day trade between $100 and $10,000 per coin. However, such bullish projections are often dismissed as speculative.
