The post If Patience Were a Token, XRP Holders Would Already Be Billionaires: Pundit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

A crypto pundit and market commentator has commended the patience of XRP holders amid years of extensive market struggles. With a near 600% rally from November 2024 to January 2025, XRP was the best-performing asset among the top cryptocurrencies during the Trump-led market-wide rally, as confirmed by CNBC.
