On July 3, 2025, Versan Aljarrah, co‑founder of Black Swan Capitalist, made a bold comparison: purchasing XRP at around $2 now is akin to buying Bitcoin back when it was only $50.
Aljarrah emphasizes that XRP already possesses major advantages—utility, regulatory clarity, and institutional infrastructure—that Bitcoin lacked in its early days. Between mid-April 2013 and today, Bitcoin skyrocketed from $50 to over $107,000, reflecting a staggering 213,900% gain. With XRP’s current regulatory landscape shaped by Judge Analisa Torres’s July 2023 ruling that XRP isn’t a security in secondary sales, Aljarrah argues that the groundwork for growth is already laid.
He also warns that the pronounced volatility seen in XRP is part of a larger strategy: engineered swings intended to shake out retail investors, making it easier for institutional players to quietly accumulate tokens ahead of broader adoption . This under-the-radar accumulation, he suggests, positions institutions for a significant next wave.
This perspective echoes a broader bullish sentiment. Community influencer BarriC believes that under‑$3 prices present a prime accumulation window, even suggesting potential future valuations of $100 per XRP. Meanwhile, DustyBC has targeted December 2025 as a turning point for demonstrating that $2 marks an undervalued entry level.
At press time, XRP was trading around $2.22—up nearly 2% in the past day—with increasing institutional interest and speculation around XRP ETFs adding fuel to the narrative.
Ultimately, Aljarrah’s key message is clear: $2 for XRP isn’t just a price—it could be an early entry into the next massive digital asset surge, with regulatory clarity and infrastructure already in place.
