Crypto Michael Explains Why He’s Still Long on XRP Since Last Month

Crypto Michael Keeps $XRP Long Open After July Accumulation Call.

Crypto trader Crypto Michael, who has about 126,000 followers on X, says he is still holding an $XRP leveraged long position opened last month. The latest position screenshot shows an XRPUSDT perpetual contract using 20x leverage, with an entry price of $0.9918 and a mark price of $1.4036.

The screenshot, timestamped September 19, 2026, displays a return of +830.51% on the leveraged position. The percentage shown represents the leveraged position return rather than $XRP’s underlying spot-price increase.

$XRP Has Risen More Than 40% From the Entry Price

Using the figures displayed in the position screenshot, $XRP increased from the $0.9918 entry to $1.4036, a difference of $0.4118 per $XRP.

That represents an underlying price increase of approximately 41.5%. With 20x leverage, changes in $XRP’s price produce substantially larger percentage changes in the position’s displayed return.

Michael said in his latest post that he remains in the $XRP long and expects the move to accelerate, telling followers that they “don’t want to be sidelined.”

Those statements represent his forecast, rather than an established future $XRP price.
