Expert: Selling XRP Post-Trump List Like Ditching Gold

Key Insights:

  • Trump’s U.S. Crypto Reserve mention boosts XRP’s profile, attracting potential institutional demand and a price surge.
  • Analyst John Squire warns selling XRP now is like “throwing gold in the trash” amid political backing.
  • Upbit’s $15B XRP reserve drain raises concerns, with analysts fearing downward price pressure.

At press time, XRP was trading at $2.19. The token has experienced a slight 0.43% drop over the past 24 hours. Also, the trading volume exceeded $2.83 Billion.

Despite the dip, the cryptocurrency’s price remains relatively stable. This reflects the broader market trend for XRP throughout June 25th.

However, analysts are focused on a more significant development that could increase the XRP price in the coming months. President Donald Trump mentioned XRP as part of the U.S. Crypto Reserve.

Trump’s Crypto Reserve Mention Boosts the Profile of XRP

President Donald Trump’s remarks about creating a U.S. Crypto Reserve have sparked renewed interest in XRP. This year, Trump’s executive order on digital assets is a critical turning point.

This includes a strategic focus on a crypto reserve featuring XRP alongside Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA),

This endorsement has led analysts to predict an upswing for XRP. Some highlight the asset’s potential as part of a broader government-backed initiative. John Squire is a notable crypto analyst.

He emphasized that investors who sell XRP after that announcement might be “throwing gold in the trash.”

Squire claims that Trump’s approval can be a significant step towards further price increases. He adds that the presence of the U.S. government might boost the demand for XRP. This makes it an instrumental member of the global digital assets market.

This endorsement may attract institutional interest, further driving XRP’s potential value. The broader market’s positive reception of Trump’s statement adds weight to predictions that XRP may benefit from this government-backed push.

The Buy Setups and Surge Predictions of XRP

With the political dynamics, the market analysts also predict the possibility of an increased XRP price. Doctor Profit, a well-known cryptocurrency analyst, pointed to a promising buy setup for XRP. He expected it could reach $4 by the end of the year.

According to the analyst, XRP price action, currently hovering at $2, shows strong upward momentum. If XRP stays above the $2 level, it could soon challenge the $3 resistance. A successful breakout might push it closer to the projected $4 target.

Doctor Profit’s past predictions have consistently proven accurate. The analyst correctly forecasted XRP’s success at lower price points such as $0.15, $0.38, and $0.50. The cryptocurrency is demonstrating a solid upward trajectory.

In light of these developments, the forecast of $4 seems plausible. The ongoing consolidation phase within a clear support range further reinforces the belief that XRP has the potential for significant gains.

Unusual Activity on Upbit Exchange Raises Concerns

Meanwhile, a worrying pattern has developed on the XRP reserves of the Upbit exchange. More than 15 billion dollars worth of XRP have been transferred without public announcement. Crypto analyst Steph is crypto noticed the anomaly and called the event unusual.

XRP supply on the exchange that started at the beginning of 2025 comes with a declining pattern in XRP price. The reserve drain could lead to a weakness in the price of XRP in the weeks ahead.

This vast reserve decline raises concerns about what could have caused such an event. There are no official clarifications. However, the analyst is observing the correlations of these movements to the overall market.

The recent downward trend in the reserves supply and the current price dynamics of the XRP have induced fears. Investors are anxious about the short-term price performance of the asset.
