- XRP’s recent price action has been turbulent—down nearly 30% in February, followed by a slight dip in March and a drop to $1.61 in early April. Since then, it’s rebounded to around $2.17, with signs of a broader market recovery led by Bitcoin.
- Edoardo Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, strongly warns against selling XRP now. He believes the worst of the bearish trend is over, with a reversal forming and macroeconomic factors (like rising money supply and weakening fiat) creating a bullish setup.
- Farina points to XRP’s strong fundamentals—Ripple’s stablecoin plans, European CBDCs on the XRP Ledger, and an ongoing SEC lawsuit nearing resolution—as signals of long-term strength. His bold prediction? XRP could hit $10 by the end of 2025.
Let’s be real: the past few months for XRP have felt like riding a crypto rollercoaster blindfolded. It’s been messy, unpredictable—and a little brutal. But if you’re thinking about hitting that sell button right now? According to Edoardo Farina, that might just be your worst move yet.
A Rough Ride, Followed by a (Slightly Shaky) Comeback
So here’s the quick recap. February was rough—XRP tanked by almost 30%, dragged down by broader market pressure. Then March followed up with a mild but annoying 2.5% dip. And just when you thought things might chill out, April opened with XRP hitting a five-month low of $1.61 on the 7th.
But then Bitcoin decided to do its thing. It bounced from $80K back up to $93K, and that little spark seemed to lift the crypto mood. XRP, while kinda lagging behind, started to show signs of life.
By April 22, it rallied 6.18%. The next day? Flatline—sideways trading. Still, it managed to tap $2.30 before cooling off to $2.17, which is where it’s hanging out now. Not bad, considering the chaos.
“Do Not Sell Right Now”—Farina’s Bold Warning
Edoardo Farina—yeah, the guy behind Alpha Lions Academy—isn’t mincing words. He recently jumped on X and basically told the XRP community: “Don’t even think about selling right now.”
Why? He believes the big red candle that freaked out both Bitcoin and XRP holders (mostly triggered by geopolitical tension, like U.S. tariffs and all that fun stuff) has already been fully absorbed. In his view, the worst is behind us.
Farina claims a reversal is already forming on the charts. His words? “Anyone who dares to click the sell button is gonna regret massively in the next months to come.” Dramatic? Yeah. But maybe not wrong.
Macro Moves Could Add Fuel
According to him, there are macroeconomic tailwinds building in XRP’s favor too:
- Central banks like the Fed and China’s PBOC are printing like crazy, adding more money into circulation.
- M2 money supply? Spiking.
- That kind of liquidity flood tends to push up risk assets—crypto included.
- As fiat currencies weaken, assets like XRP might gain just by standing still.
Farina sees this as a setup for a broader rally, not just a short-term bounce.

XRP Ecosystem = Quietly Building Momentum
Beyond the charts and macro vibes, Farina’s also pretty hyped about XRP’s fundamentals:
- Ripple’s stablecoin project is progressing
- Europe’s CBDCs are getting layered onto the XRP Ledger
- The SEC lawsuit? Looks close to wrapping up (finally)
- Institutions are circling, with growing talk around XRP-based ETFs
Basically, he sees this as XRP’s time to shine—and wants no part in missing out.
Not Just a Coin Anymore—A Strategy?
Farina didn’t stop there. He tossed out a teaser about a future where people might lend their XRP to banks, earning passive income instead of having to sell. No details yet, but it sounds like he’s got more coming soon.
And the kicker? His price target.
“$10 is coming 2025 (sic). You already know what I’m gonna make when XRP hits ten dollars.”
Say what you will, but Farina’s conviction is loud—and if XRP even comes close to that $10 mark, he’s gonna be a very, very happy lion.
