XRP Price News Today: XRP Falls Below $1 as Experts Recall Bitcoin’s 470 ‘Death’ Calls

How $XRP and Bitcoin Have Performed Since 2020

According to figures shared by Coach JB, since January 2020:

• Bitcoin is up approximately 796%
• $XRP is up approximately 445%
• Gold is up approximately 179%
• The S&P 500 is up approximately 137%
• U.S. real estate is up approximately 55%

These figures reflect historical price performance over a specific window and don’t account for volatility experienced along the way, including $XRP’s multi-year legal battle with the SEC or Bitcoin’s own sharp drawdowns during that period. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

A Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy Through the Dip

Rather than treating the drop below $1 as a signal to exit, Coach JB says his own approach has been to dollar-cost average, buying more aggressively as prices fall and taking profits as prices recover. He disclosed that his largest holdings are currently $XRP, followed by Bitcoin and Solana, and that he began accumulating $XRP years before it became a mainstream trade, and Bitcoin starting around 2023.

He also offered a near-term price outlook, suggesting $XRP could continue trading between roughly $0.60 and $0.90 before a potential recovery later in the year, and that Bitcoin could see further downside into the $40,000-$50,000 range. It’s worth stressing that this is one individual’s speculative outlook, not a verified forecast, and crypto markets remain highly unpredictable. Nobody, including seasoned traders, can reliably predict short-term price movements.
