Despite Bullish Fundamentals, XRP Continues to See Subdued Price Performance

Amid upbeat news and partnerships, XRP has continued to see subdued price performance. However, some in the community are urging patience, not panic, amid these conditions.

A recent post from XRP commentator “All Things XRP” highlighted the token’s long-term value proposition. And he argued that the current frustration might indicate investors are still early.

The message begins by recognizing the growing frustration across the XRP community.

After months of anticipation, Ripple’s global partnerships and high-level integrations haven’t quite translated into the kind of explosive price action that many had hoped for.

While XRP is up 5.12% over the past month, the coin is still down 27% in the last 90 days. During this period, XRP has seen major business and regulatory announcements that many believe should have pushed the price to a new all-time high. But the impact has been minimal, and the lack of movement has brought renewed frustration among holders.

However, prominent voices in the community, such as All Things XRP, are urging members not to panic and lose sight of the bigger picture.

The commentator begins by having investors consider the fundamental reason they chose to hold XRP in the first place.

It’s no secret that the current financial system is riddled with inefficiencies. High fees, sluggish transfer times, and limited accessibility are just some of the flaws that have been discussed extensively.

Recently, Eric Trump, son of pro-crypto U.S. president Donald Trump, also touched upon this topic during a CNBC interview.

Speaking about the shortcomings of SWIFT and other legacy systems, Eric Trump described it as “an absolute disaster.” He highlighted the outdated architecture of these systems.

“The system is the problem, not XRP”

According to the Trump son, the current financial system is slow, broken, and expensive to use. He added that people used to get nervous making bank transfers on a Friday, wondering if it will be in by 4 PM if they need it on Monday morning.

He also shared how it could take up to 120 days to get a mortgage from a bank that a customer has used for 25 years, an example that highlights how these delays can crush people’s dreams.

In contrast, he noted that in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, people can transfer money quickly, transparently, and with low fees. He concluded by saying that if banks don’t adapt to the changes ahead, they could be extinct in 10 years.

Tying this into the narrative of XRP, All Things XRP says that these statements should give XRP holders renewed optimism about the crucial utility the token provides.

As the world is slowly waking up to the flaws in the current financial system, and the role that blockchain technology can play in introducing much-needed change, Ripple’s mission with the XRP Ledger is directly focused on addressing these systemic issues.

From cross-border payments to tokenized asset transfers, XRP is positioned as a tool to modernize a broken financial infrastructure.

And as this transition unfolds, it’s natural for there to be some frustration as people wish for faster progress. But ultimately, the time will serve those who are patient.

The post concludes with a message of resilience. It’s not the time to panic or lose sight of what matters most. It’s the time to “understand what you’re really holding.”
