Crypto Educator Shares Why Now May Be a Good Time to Start Accumulating XRP

The XRP price has suffered devastating declines over the last six months, but a crypto educator explains why this could be a good time to accumulate more.

Notably, the broader crypto market has experienced sustained downturns since the fourth quarter of 2025, losing $1.9 trillion in valuation within this period despite the recent recovery effort. Amid the onslaught, XRP has recorded steep declines, with $131 billion lost from its market value since the July 2025 peak.

However, while panic has dominated the scene, an XRP community figure and crypto educator has suggested that the downturn may be presenting a good buy opportunity. According to him, declines amounting to 70% have historically marked profitable accumulation positions for XRP.

Key Points

• The global crypto market cap has lost $1.9 trillion since Q4 2025, and XRP has not escaped the downturn, down by $131 billion since its July 2025 peak valuation.
• XRP’s price has dropped from $3.6 in July 2025 to the current position of $1.39, but a recent commentary suggests that this could be a golden opportunity.
• A known crypto educator stressed that each 70% crash for XRP, which occurred during the drop from $3.6 to $1.1, has proven to be a profitable accumulation position.
• XRP would have to rise 163% from the current level to reclaim its $3.6 all-time high and become a profitable investment for holders who bought at that price.

XRP’s 70% Crash

This recent suggestion came from Sir Rob Art, an XRP community figure, as he maintains a bullish stance despite the current market turbulence. For context, after reaching the $3.6 peak in July 2025, XRP recorded a pullback and fluctuated between $2.8 and $3.1 by October.

However, after the Oct. 10 crash that pushed prices below $2.5, the broader crypto market entered a downtrend phase, and XRP collapsed further. Since then, XRP has recorded six consecutive monthly losing candles, down nearly 62% from its peak of $3.6 in July 2025.

Notably, XRP had collapsed to a multi-month low of $1.1 on Feb. 6 in the aftermath of the Feb. 5 market crash. This bottom represented a near 70% crash from the $3.6 high. It is from this level that Rob believes XRP has the potential to recover.

Good Buy Opportunity?

In his commentary, Rob called attention to the 70% decline from $3.6 to $1.1 by Feb. 6. Citing this drop, he stressed that it marked a good time to start accumulating more XRP tokens. Notably, at the $1.1 price, investing $10,000 in XRP would have bought 9,090 tokens, much more than 2,777 tokens at the $3.6 peak.

At such low prices, investors have the opportunity to procure more tokens for less before the market eventually recovers. Notably, XRP has already recovered slightly from the $1.1 low, up 26% from this level. Nonetheless, pundits like Rob still believe the current position presents a good opportunity.

XRP Historical Data

According to Rob, XRP’s historical data shows that crashes of up to 70% have mostly been profitable, as XRP has always recovered from these declines. He stressed that he has already begun a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) plan.

Notably, data confirms his thesis. Specifically, after XRP collapsed 68.42% from $0.0095 in October 2016 to $0.003 by January 2017, the recovery that followed pushed prices from $0.0056 in March 2017 to $0.3989 by May of that year.

Meanwhile, XRP again dropped 69.92% from the $0.3989 peak to a low of $0.1270 the next month. What followed was another rebound four months later, pushing prices from $0.2350 in December 2017 to $3.31 in January 2018, a massive 1,308% rise within a month. 

XRP also saw a sharp 68% drop from $0.91 to $0.29 on the back of the Terra ecosystem collapse in 2022. The recovery for this drop took longer, about 2 years. However, when it eventually arrived in November 2024, XRP rose from $0.5 to $3.6 by July 2025. 

Now, a 70% crash has occurred from the $3.6 peak. While historical data indicates that XRP has the potential to stage a recovery campaign, it is important to note that past successes do not guarantee future results. As a result, investors should not take this commentary as investment advice.
