EGRAG Rejects Notion That XRP Has Peaked
Crypto analyst EGRAG Crypto has challenged the popular claim that XRP has already reached its cycle top at $3.40, a price it hit during its January 2025 rally. EGRAG believes the token’s bull run is far from over, and that predictions of a capped upside fail to account for emotional momentum and broader macro trends.
Argument Sparked by Expert Debate
EGRAG revealed that his disagreement stems from a conversation with a former university colleague, Dr. Y, now a blockchain professor at a U.S. university. While Dr. Y argues that XRP’s cycle top is behind it, EGRAG insists that the market is still gearing up for a substantial move. He recalled their dynamic during their student years—Dr. Y managed the coding, while EGRAG excelled in communicating ideas to audiences, both earning top grades.
EGRAG says this dynamic remains true today: while Dr. Y has deep technical knowledge, he overlooks the power of market sentiment and emotional cycles, which EGRAG sees as key to understanding price movements in crypto.
Emotional Momentum Still Drives the Market
According to EGRAG, crypto prices are not purely driven by fundamentals or global risk events. He acknowledges concerns like U.S. debt, geopolitical instability, and global wars, which Dr. Y raised as bearish factors. But EGRAG believes these are distractions promoted by mainstream narratives that often ignore long-term innovation trends.
In contrast, he sees this period as a potential turning point, arguing that blockchain and tokenization will spark the greatest wealth expansion in recent history.
Tokenization Could Unleash Trillions in Value
One of EGRAG’s core points is that tokenization could unlock trillions of dollars in real-world assets, setting the stage for digital assets like XRP to gain massive utility and value.
He emphasized that tokenizing global equities—valued at $100 trillion in 2024—would improve liquidity, enable fractional ownership, and broaden participation. Even more significant, the derivatives market, estimated at over $600 trillion, could become more transparent and efficient through tokenized structures.
Real Estate and Cross-Border Payments Hold Huge Potential
EGRAG also pointed to real estate as a key target. The U.S. property market is valued at about $50 trillion, while global real estate is around $280 trillion. He believes tokenization could radically improve how property is bought, sold, and managed, increasing access and automation.
Another key area is cross-border finance. He referenced the $27 trillion currently locked in Nostro/Vostro accounts for global transactions. XRP, as a bridge currency for international settlements, could potentially free up this liquidity, cutting delays and costs dramatically.
Art, IP, Gaming, and Healthcare Also Stand to Benefit
The tokenization trend doesn’t stop with finance and real estate. EGRAG mentioned several niche but high-value sectors that could benefit from blockchain technology:
- Art and collectibles (~$1.7 trillion) could be made tradable via tokenized ownership.
- Debt markets (~$250 trillion) could become more transparent.
- IP licensing (~$5 trillion) could be simplified and better enforced.
- Gaming assets (~$200 billion) could be traded cross-platform.
- Energy credits (
$50 billion) and healthcare data ($100 billion) could see new markets open up.
He argued that blockchain’s ability to enhance privacy, efficiency, and trust across industries will lead to massive adoption.
XRP Cycle Top Could Be Much Higher
Despite Dr. Y’s warning of a possible 85% crash from the $3.40 high, EGRAG argues this scenario is premature. He said such a correction might eventually happen, but from a much higher peak, possibly in the $24 to $27 range.
EGRAG’s prediction means that if XRP hits $24, even a dramatic drop would bring it back to the $3–$4 zone, still significantly higher than current levels. This, in his view, aligns better with market psychology, liquidity cycles, and technological transformation under way.
Sentiment, Not Headlines, Will Decide XRP’s Future
Ultimately, EGRAG concludes that market psychology and real-world integration matter more than short-term headlines or academic projections. As tokenization efforts advance globally, and as blockchain use cases mature, XRP remains poised to benefit from the surge in demand for efficient, decentralized financial tools.
For now, XRP continues to trade well below the $10–$27 targets set by EGRAG, but he insists the cycle top is yet to come—and when it does, it could catch many off guard.
