Time to buy the DIP from Ripple?

Long -term investors in Ripple (Crypto: XRP) are probably very satisfied. In the past 10 years, the value of XRP has exploded by 21,600% higher. However, most of the value of Ripple was created in short bursts. Despite a recent withdrawal, Ripple’s price has increased by 288% since the beginning of November.

This is what makes Ripple’s latest correction so attractive. From April 3, the value of XRP has dropped by 39% since mid -January. Many investors are wondering whether this is their chance to add their portfolio to a low -price long -term winner at a low price. If you want to maximize your portfolio’s growth potential, read on.

Ripple was a great long -term investment. From the beginning of April 2017 to April 3, 2025, the value of XRP rose by around 7,500%. That is not too far away BitcoinThe increase of around 9,100% in the same period. But if you take a look at the following charts, you will start one thing immediately: Bitcoins climb was much more consistent than ripple, although both cryptocurrencies have been extremely volatile over the years. The spikes and corrections of Ripple were usually much sharper than that of Bitcoin.

This is the first thing you can understand about Ripple today: volatility, especially for a 200 billion dollar project, is even higher than that of most other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

The second thing you can understand about Ripple today is that its waxation journey will be far different than that of other crypto projects. Bitcoin, for example, is mostly a value price like gold. EthereumIn the meantime, they try to build a decentralized ecosystem of applications that are executed on its distributed computer platform. However, Ripple tries to get global institutions to delete their current cross-border transaction methods in exchange for the blockchain-powered network.

Swift, the incumbent cross -border payment network, which has been used by banks for decades, currently has more than 11,000 financial institutions. Ripple is still piling up its technology with around 100 local banking partners all over the world, although precise data is not easy. However, it is sufficient to say that Ripple has a long and difficult way to convince global financial institutions and centuries old to use their promising but less proven solution for cross-border transactions.

I am a big fan of Bitcoin. Its ability to act as a value memory is with Golds, although market capitalization is around 90% lower than gold. Ethereum is also a promising project, since it leads the decentralized space in the number and application growth of the developer – two strong indicators that can ultimately become a global basic layer for a decentralized economy.
