A powerful message has emerged from a recent episode of the Good Evening Crypto YouTube show that urged XRP holders to rethink their exit strategy ahead of what may be one of the most pivotal crypto cycles yet.
Host Abdullah Nassif “Abs” issued a strong caution against selling XRP by pointing to a combination of regulatory progress and tokenization of real-world assets as signs that the current cycle may just be getting started for the XRP price.
The One Rule XRP Holders Must Remember
Abs amplified a sentiment shared by a speaker who stressed that XRP holders should not sell, especially not during the coming price spikes. “Hold a minimum of 10,000 units in a cold storage,” the speaker said. “Selling is the worst possible thing you can do to an XRP. If you sell your XRP when the price bumps, you’re going to cause a problem.”
This advice is based on the outlook that XRP is set to benefit from the coming wave of real-world asset tokenization. Abs argued that trillions of dollars are on the verge of flowing into blockchain ecosystems through tokenized assets, with the XRP Ledger expected to capture a significant portion of that activity. “From just a few billion today, tokenization is forecasted to grow to $19 trillion by 2030,” he said. That growth, coupled with XRP’s central role in facilitating this future, means current holders are sitting on what could become generational wealth if they resist the urge to exit too soon.
Throughout the episode, the host and his co-host, “Johnny Crypto,” outlined a series of catalysts they believe will push the XRP price into a new era. Among them is the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a $1.6 trillion economic stimulus package that could flood markets with liquidity. According to Abs, this money will drive regular investors into risk-on assets like XRP.
He also touched on legal developments, noting the SEC may be nearing a decision to drop its appeal in the ongoing Ripple case. Another positive catalyst is the possible approval of 19 different XRP ETFs that are set to launch around October 18.
According to him, when XRP starts registering daily closings above $3.25, the price chart is going to move in ways never seen before. As such, there’s also the possibility of XRP reaching the double-digit threshold above $10 in 2025. Still, XRP investors should not make the mistake of selling.
The Case For Holding Long-Term
Interestingly, co-host Johnny Crypto also noted that the most positive catalyst of all is if Fed Chair Jed Powell gets booted and a new Fed Chair comes in that lowers interest rates. “That means all bets are on for risk-on assets, and crypto will probably be the number one beneficiary,” he said.
Johnny Crypto also added a personal layer to the discussion by sharing a painful lesson from his past. In 1997, he sold a large amount of Amazon stock he owned far too early, a decision that cost him $52 million in missed gains. This time, he said, the strategy is different. Although he might sell about 30% of his holdings, selling the entire stash is not an option. He mentioned that he’s considering placing his XRP in a trust or even borrowing against it to maintain long-term exposure.
Johnny also issued a broader warning, noting that banks may attempt to take control of crypto assets like XRP from retail holders in the near future. “We’re not that far away,” he said. “Probably in the next one year, we’ll hear about banks costing crypto.”
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.26.
