In a new video on X, Crypto X AiMan argues that most XRP holders won’t hold long enough to see the real gains. He believes 99% will sell too early – probably around $5 or $10 – missing out on the full potential of the token. But is that a fair prediction, or just another bullish crypto take?
Let’s break it down.
Right now, XRP is trading around $3.54. Just a few days ago, it hit a new all-time high of $3.65. For many, that’s already a big win. And for some investors, locking in profits at this level makes perfect sense. After all, no one ever lost money taking profits.
But according to AiMan, this is exactly what separates long-term believers from short-term traders. He says XRP is still in the early stages of a much bigger breakout, and that those who hold tight could see it hit $5, $7, or even higher.

A Look Back: History Lessons (and Missteps)
In the video, AiMan points to XRP’s past, saying it surged from $0.50 to over $3 after the 2016 election. That’s not quite accurate – XRP was trading closer to $0.006 in late 2016 and didn’t really take off until 2017. But the point remains: XRP has done it before, and some believe it can do it again.
AiMan says XRP could eventually reach $40 if it hits the same market cap as Bitcoin. That’s not just hype – it’s basic math. With a circulating supply of about 59 billion tokens, XRP would need to hit a $2.3 trillion market cap for each token to be worth around $38.87.
Is that realistic? Maybe one day. But it would require massive adoption, likely tied to XRP playing a core role in global finance – something Ripple has been quietly working toward through institutional partnerships and regulatory compliance.

Why People Sell Early
So why would 99% of people sell early? Simple. Fear. Greed. Uncertainty. AiMan says many holders will cash out at $5 or $10 to buy a car or cover expenses – understandable, but short-sighted, he argues. His message is clear: if you believe in XRP’s long-term value, hold on tight and ignore the noise.
Still, this is a controversial take. Some X users pushed back, saying taking profit isn’t wrong – it’s smart. Others pointed out that Ripple still holds billions of XRP, and those tokens could create long-term selling pressure.
The Bottom Line
AiMan’s core point isn’t just about price – it’s about mindset. He believes XRP isn’t just another altcoin, but a key piece of future global payments. Whether or not you agree, one thing is clear: this debate over when to sell, and how high XRP can go, isn’t going away anytime soon.
Will 99% of XRP holders really sell too early? Only time will tell. But if XRP does hit $40 or beyond, those who held on will have the last laugh.R
