Pundit Reveals How He Got Rich by Leveraging DCA for XRP Investments

A market pundit has championed the DCA approach for XRP investments, sharing a method he leveraged to secure wealth over half a decade.

While XRP’s price has mostly struggled since February 2025, some savvy investors have leveraged the current market struggles to position themselves for massive gains in the future. This approach often works, and market pundit Edoardo Farina has repeatedly championed it.

Pundit Advocates for XRP DCA

In his latest commentary, Farina he noted that this method, which involves dollar-cost averaging into XRP, was what made him rich. According to him, he was able to secure wealth by procuring small amounts of XRP every day for up to five years.

For the uninitiated, Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is a strategy where an investor consistently commits a particular amount into an asset regularly regardless of the price. Notably, this helps reduce the impact of market volatility and lowers the risk of making poor timing decisions.

If an investor aims to procure 100 XRP every week for a year, they continue with this strategy whether XRP trades for $0.5 or $2. A classic DCA instance is MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin purchase campaign, which has seen the software development company amass 506,137 BTC since August 2020. The firm has secured $10.8 billion in profit.

However, Farina’s advocacy is for a DCA strategy involving XRP, which he believes is a better choice. “DCA is the cheat code nobody talks about,” the Alpha Lions Academy founder quipped. 

XRP Presents More Gains Than Bitcoin

Interestingly, The Crypto Basic also confirmed earlier this month that MicroStrategy could have recorded $60 billion more in profit if it had DCA’d into XRP rather than BTC. 

Notably, speaking about his personal experience in the recent commentary, Farina suggested that if the past five years with XRP have presented tremendous gains, the next five years could also prove to be fruitful if DCA is employed.

Farina then shared a screenshot of a single transaction he carried out in January 2021. Data shows that he converted 0.33 BTC worth €8,618 at the time to 45,425 XRP. During this period, Bitcoin changed hands at €26,115, while XRP traded for €0.19. 

Four years later, the XRP community figure does not regret his decision. Currently, the 45,425 XRP is worth €103,114, with XRP trading for €2.27. If he had retained his 0.33 BTC, the investment would have been worth €26,778, as Bitcoin changes hands at $81,146 at press time.

Notably, most of XRP’s impressive performance came up during the November 2024 uptrend following Donald Trump’s victory. While Bitcoin and the rest of the market also saw rallies, XRP outperformed. Since November 2024, XRP has gained 284% against BTC, up 10.26% this month alone despite the ongoing struggles.
