Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy, has expressed concerns about the current state of the cryptocurrency market, particularly regarding XRP. He claims that major financial institutions, including BlackRock, acquire XRP at discounted prices while retail investors are forced to sell due to economic pressures. In his post on X, Farina warns that “$2 is a bargain” for these institutions and urges holders not to give up their assets. XRP has struggled recently, and many investors are worried about its future. However, Farina and many others are confident in the asset’s future. Retail Investors Face Economic Pressures According to Farina, many retail investors are exiting the cryptocurrency market out of necessity. Rising inflation, stagnant wages, and increasing living costs have left individuals with little choice but to convert their digital assets into fiat currency. “Most people are selling their digital assets so they can pay for the most basic needs,” he said, highlighting the financial strain affecting average investors. Farina argues that this situation is not accidental but a result of systemic economic policies that devalue fiat currencies. He points to inflation and central banking policies as factors that have made it increasingly difficult for individuals to maintain purchasing power.

Farina recently described holding less than 1,000 XRP as insanity , but more retail investors are falling below this threshold daily while trying to meet their needs. Institutional Accumulation and Market Shift Farina argues that while retail investors exit the market, institutions accumulate XRP at lower prices. He predicts this will be an “institutional bull run,” with fewer individual investors holding significant XRP as economic constraints push them out. He speculates that when XRP reaches $100 , only a few investors will retain large holdings. Farina also warns of potential banking instability in Europe, citing past government fund seizures. He suggests similar events could occur in 2025, making digital assets like XRP vital for financial security. He also highlights the European Central Bank’s expected CBDC launch in October 2025 and notes that XRP Ledger (XRPL) tests by financial institutions could signal XRP’s role in the new financial system. Farina believes XRP’s price could surge alongside CBDC developments, emphasizing the importance of holding XRP before institutions dominate the market. He recently described selling XRP as throwing a winning lottery ticket away , and the desire by institutions to accumulate tokens shows the asset’s potential and gives a good reason for retail investors to hold on.
