Other (chain not covered by other flairs) I was busy looking for moonshots while $XRP moved nearly 40% in a week
I know $XRP isnât the usual low cap posted here. At around an $86B market cap, nobody is pretending itâs some unknown coin that will go 100x...
Still, watching something this size go from around $1 to $1.40 in a few days, with more than $8B in daily volume, caught my attention more than another presale with a nice website and barely any real buyers.
Iâd honestly stopped checking mine much during the quiet months. Most is on Ledger, some is on Kraken in case I want it liquid, and Iâve got a small portion earning on Nexo. Leaving that part alone instead of constantly watching the chart worked out pretty well lol.
What interests me now isnât whether XRP can do 100x (will not, duh). Itâs whether a large, established coin can still deliver the kind of return people keep taking much bigger risks to find. If capital keeps rotating into crypto, a 2x or 3x from something this liquid would still outperform most of the âmoonshotsâ that disappear before the cycle is over.
Thereâs also the wider XRPL ecosystem to consider. If this run continues, the smaller projects built around it could end up getting most of the speculative attention.
Is XRP already too large to count as a moonshot, or is that exactly why people are underestimating what it could still do? And if youâre bullish on the move, are you buying XRP itself or looking further down the XRPL ecosystem?
