Crypto market commentator Scott Melker, commonly known as Wolf of All Streets, has highlighted $XRP’s growing presence in mainstream crypto discussions, questioning why the asset has become a specific focus for investors compared with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The remarks came during a discussion with Tristan Thompson, who pointed to the strength and persistence of the $XRP community in promoting $XRP and defending its long-term prospects.
According to Thompson, $XRP supporters have been particularly effective at communicating their conviction about the asset. He noted that dedicated $XRP holders are often prepared to explain in detail why they remain committed to the crypto.
Melker then shifted the discussion toward a broader question surrounding $XRP’s popularity.
“But that’s the question: why $XRP? You know, how did it get so into the mainstream narrative that that’s even the question?”
Melker observed that people entering or following the crypto market are not necessarily asking whether they should buy Bitcoin or Ethereum. Instead, he said some are specifically asking about $XRP.
“Your friends aren’t asking, like, ‘Is this a good time to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum?’ They’re specifically asking about $XRP.”
