As advice emerges that storage stability and patience are more important than short-term returns for long-term XRP holders, debate over holding strategies is intensifying again amidst expanding market volatility.

According to the cryptocurrency specialized media Bitcoinist on May 5 (local time), crypto analyst Vincent Van Code revealed five investment plans for long-term XRP holders via X (formerly Twitter). Van Code emphasized that despite XRP's price remaining in a downward trend and market volatility increasing again, long-term holders should manage their assets more securely and capitalize on potential profit opportunities.

The first principle Van Code presented is storing XRP in a personal wallet. He stated that repeatedly sending XRP to exchanges or third-party services increases unnecessary risks, and investors should store XRP in a personal wallet where they directly own and control the keys. He advised against taking security risks for small returns.

The second key is patience during the long-term holding process. Van Code said that while XRP's price movement might feel frustrating when other cryptocurrencies are rising, investors must maintain calm judgment. He emphasized that XRP has already risen fivefold in recent months and cautioned against the impulse to liquidate too early. Van Code stated that he himself has gained significant profits from XRP's growth but has no plans to dispose of his holdings prematurely until safer cash-out paths, such as custodial opportunities from banks, are established.

Van Code explained that borrowing against XRP as collateral could be considered only when banks provide secure custodial solutions. He stated that by diverting borrowed funds to other major investment avenues like stock indices and precious metals, investors can gain exposure to traditional financial markets without selling their digital assets. He explained that while the returns from traditional assets might not be as explosive as in a crypto bull market, they offer lower volatility and can contribute to long-term wealth building.

Van Code also cautioned against the unrealistic expectation of becoming a millionaire in the short term by holding only XRP. He emphasized that the likelihood of creating immediate wealth solely through cryptocurrency is low, and investors must continue to build their careers and professional competencies to get closer to their goals. Bitcoinist reported that Van Code's advice summarized long-term holding strategies focusing on security, patience, diversification, and realistic expectations.
