Last Chance to Swap BTC to XRP Before It’s Too Late: Pundit

Amid the recent Bitcoin all-time highs, a market pundit has insisted that this might be the last opportunity for BTC holders to divest to XRP.

This bold suggestion came from Edoardo Farina, a well-known XRP community figure and founder of Alpha Lions Academy. Notably, Farina has consistently urged Bitcoin investors to divest their BTC investments and enter the XRP market.

However, this suggestion is rather audacious, especially as it comes at a time when Bitcoin has been outperforming XRP. For context, Bitcoin is up 26.15% this year, while XRP, which is just catching up, has gained 24% within the same timeframe.

Also, the commentary comes as Bitcoin has entered a price discovery phase, consistently claiming new all-time highs over the past two days. Notably, despite XRP performing better than Bitcoin within these two days, it still trades below both its all-time high of $3.8 and its yearly peak of $3.4.

While some investors could see this as a discouraging metric, market commentators like Farina believe it is favorable. In his most recent disclosure, Farina presented this period as a last chance to enter the XRP market, possibly because he feels XRP is on the verge of taking off to higher levels.

Notably, Farina also charged investors to accumulate XRP when it traded for $0.5 just last year. Specifically, in October 2024, as it struggled at $0.5 to $0.6, the market pundit suggested that every man with ambition should aim to hold at least 10,000 XRP, then worth around $5,000. A month later, XRP broke out, outperforming Bitcoin.
XRP Could Outperform Bitcoin
Now, Farina believes a similar run where XRP outpaces BTC could emerge. As a result, he has urged urgency. Also, while Bitcoin has continued to rise, its market dominance appears to be declining, suggesting that investors are gradually taking profits on their Bitcoin investments and rotating to altcoins.

Importantly, this is the premise on which the altcoin season emerges. Amid this trend, Farina is suggesting that Bitcoin holders focus on XRP, which has already displayed its potential to register massive price surges during periods of uptrend. Also, XRP tends to show more resilience during downtrends than most of the market.

Notably, the latest comments are part of a campaign that Farina appears to have launched against Bitcoin in recent times. Responding to one of Saylor’s usual X posts around Bitcoin yesterday, Farina claimed the Bitcoin ship was sinking like the Titanic, but Saylor has continued to double down.

Besides Farina, other market pundits have also insisted that investors could see better returns from XRP than Bitcoin. For instance, recently, Johnny, a crypto analyst and founder of Merlin, suggested that for Bitcoin to yield 2x gains, it would need to add another $2 trillion to its market cap. Meanwhile, XRP would only need to add around $130 billion to present 2x gains to investors.
