Black Swan Co-founder "If XRP Breaks All-Time High, Even Bitcoin Supporters Will Sell"

▲ XRP, Bitcoin (BTC)

It has been claimed that if XRP breaks its all-time high, even staunch Bitcoin (BTC) supporters could be swayed. Some predict that they might sell Bitcoin and switch to XRP.

According to the cryptocurrency media outlet CryptoBasic on August 3 (local time), Vandell Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, claimed that a shift in funds could begin when XRP breaks its all-time high with an explosive surge. Aljarrah stated, “If XRP reaches an all-time high, there's a high probability that staunch Bitcoin supporters will also sell Bitcoin and buy XRP.”

Technical analyst ChartNerd also agreed with Aljarrah's prediction. However, he pointed out that investors who only stuck with Bitcoin might join the XRP rally too late. He said, “By then, it will be too late.” X (formerly Twitter) user Christopher Schwartz countered that there would also be Bitcoin supporters who, due to strong conviction, would not buy XRP until the very end.

Both XRP and Bitcoin are significantly below their previous all-time highs. Bitcoin fell 50.14% after recording $126,200 in October 2025. To recover that peak, it needs to rise by 101.7%. XRP rose to $3.66 in July 2025, but the official all-time high compiled by CoinMarketCap is $3.84 from 2018. To set a new record, it needs to rise by 262%.

There have been past instances where Bitcoin supporters acknowledged XRP's potential for an increase. Davinci Jeremie, a critic of XRP, predicted in March 2025 that XRP could surpass $20 in the long term. He said, “I don't like XRP. But technical analysis doesn't care about my opinion.” Aljarrah claimed that XRP breaking its all-time high could be a turning point for some critics to change their stance.
