Aims for a turnaround after a 60% plunge…XRP 'last chance' warning

XRP (Ripple) has shown a sluggish trend, falling 27% this year, but an analysis suggests it should be noted as a buying opportunity before 2027.

According to the investment media The Motley Fool on April 10 (local time), XRP has fallen by about 27% since the beginning of the year and lost more than 60% of its value compared to last summer's peak. However, the current correction period is evaluated as a potential buying opportunity.

The first basis for this judgment is Ripple's strategic shift. Unlike in the past, when it focused on a single function as an alternative payment network to SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), it has recently shifted its direction to building an 'ecosystem' that connects various projects. In fact, Ripple has launched XAO DAO to support its own network-based projects and expand its scope of use.

This ecosystem expansion is also analyzed to be a factor in lowering barriers to institutional adoption. Financial institutions prioritize already verified networks and scalability over technology itself, as a multi-layered ecosystem can simultaneously meet various demands such as verification, security, and asset tokenization.

The regulatory environment is also considered a positive factor. Ripple has concluded its investigation issues with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and policy uncertainties are easing with the passage of the stablecoin regulation bill GENIUS, advancements in the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill, and the CLARITY Act. This serves as a backdrop for increasing expectations of expanded institutional capital inflow.

However, actual execution capabilities are still in the verification stage. The media evaluated that if the Ripple ecosystem achieves significant results this year, the current price range could be the 'last low-price buying opportunity,' adding that investment attractiveness could vary significantly depending on future performance.
