A recent discussion among cryptocurrency enthusiasts has reignited debates over XRP’s performance as an investment asset. Yasin Mobarak, founder of Dizer Capital, has voiced his opinion on the matter, acknowledging the frustrations faced by XRP holders but cautioning against abandoning the asset prematurely.

In a recent <a href="https://twitter.com/Dizer_YM/status/1826035913417437641?s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post on X</a>, Mobarak conveyed the challenges experienced by those holding XRP, labeling it a “painful” and “boring” investment. His words reflect the broader sentiment of long-term investors, particularly those who have seen XRP underperform compared to other digital assets.
This underperformance was especially notable during the 2021 bull market, where XRP failed to surpass its all-time high (ATH) of $3.31, last achieved in January 2018.
Despite this lackluster performance, Mobarak emphasized that the potential upside remains compelling. He referenced the 2017/2018 bull run, where <a href="https://timestabloid.com/new-research-shows-xrp-is-poised-for-massive-price-rally/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> initially lagged behind other assets, only to surge by 66,100% in a single year. This historical context suggests that patience could ultimately reward those who continue to hold XRP.

The conversation around XRP’s future also touches on a broader debate within the cryptocurrency community about the viability of so-called “old coins,” such as XRP and Cardano.
Raoul Pal, a veteran market analyst, has <a href="https://twitter.com/jungleincxrp/status/1825909422528532766?s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recently advised</a> investors to shift their focus away from these assets. He argued that the strong allegiance of some investors to these coins could hinder their ability to seize new opportunities in the evolving market.
Pal’s perspective stems partly from XRP’s performance during the 2021 bull run, where it lagged behind other cryptocurrencies. Many attribute this underperformance to the legal challenges Ripple faced at the time.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had filed a lawsuit against Ripple, accusing the company of conducting unregistered securities offerings through the sale of XRP. The ongoing litigation created uncertainty, discouraging potential investors and stifling XRP’s price growth.

However, the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-vs-sec-case-as-of-august-8-2024-xrp-skyrockets-after-new-ruling/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">resolution of the SEC lawsuit</a> has changed the outlook for XRP. The court ruled in favor of Ripple, declaring XRP a non-security. This outcome has been seen as a significant legal victory, restoring confidence in XRP’s legitimacy as an asset. With this legal cloud lifted, some market observers believe the digital asset is better positioned to participate in the current bull market.
Nevertheless, Raoul Pal remains cautious. He continues to warn investors about the potential pitfalls of maintaining a “cult-like” devotion to older coins like XRP. He suggests that such an approach could lead to missed opportunities as the market evolves and new assets emerge.

In contrast to Pal’s view, some within the crypto community continue to believe in XRP’s future potential. Fred Rispoli, a well-known pro-crypto attorney, has <a href="https://twitter.com/freddyriz/status/1826018440467079231?s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">publicly disagreed</a> with Pal’s assessment.
While acknowledging Pal’s expertise, Rispoli remains optimistic about XRP, arguing that its story is far from over. He contends that the asset’s recent legal victory positions it for a strong performance in the ongoing and future market cycles.
While XRP has proven to be a challenging and sometimes disappointing investment, its potential for future gains cannot be dismissed. The cryptocurrency market is dynamic, and XRP’s previous surges suggest that significant opportunities may still lie ahead for those willing to endure the uncertainty.
