Aims for Reversal After 60% Plunge…XRP 'Last Chance' Warning

XRP (Ripple) has shown a sluggish performance, 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 2026 and its value has dropped by more than 60% compared to its peak last summer. However, the current correction period could be a 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), Ripple has recently shifted its direction to building an 'ecosystem' that connects various projects. In fact, Ripple launched XAO DAO to support projects based on its own network, expanding its scope of utilization.

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

The regulatory environment is also cited as a positive factor. Ripple has concluded its investigation issues with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and policy uncertainty is easing with the passage of the stablecoin regulation bill GENIUS, the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill, and the progress of the CLARITY Act. This is acting as a backdrop for increasing expectations of institutional fund inflows.

However, actual implementation is 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 zone,' but added that investment attractiveness could vary greatly depending on future performance.
