Linda Jones, a Wall Street financial expert, recently endorsed buying XRP now, anticipating an influx of institutional investors. She shared this insight on X, responding to a podcast where James Jay encouraged XRP holders to stay patient.
James Jay reassured XRP holders by predicting the arrival of institutional investors at a strategic moment. He compared this to Bitcoin’s history, noting that major investors avoided Bitcoin during its early years (2009-2015). For instance, Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy observed Bitcoin under $10 but invested when it exceeded $20K. Jay explained that institutional investors saw the $20K mark as confirmation of Bitcoin’s legitimacy.

Strategic Investment Patterns
Jay emphasized that institutions didn’t miss Bitcoin at $0.51; rather, they waited for a more stable investment environment. He suggested that institutions might adopt a similar approach with XRP, potentially investing once it stabilizes at a high value, such as $100. At this point, institutions would likely hold XRP to maintain its value above $100. Jay argued that those not purchasing it now, around $0.5, might regret it after its price surges due to institutional buying.

Jay believes XRP’s trajectory could mirror Bitcoin’s post-institutional investment surge. He warned that early exits from the XRP market, even after gains from selling at $10, might lead to regret. Jay drew this comparison to encourage XRP holders to see a potential high-value threshold as validation.
Drawing Parallels With Bitcoin
Jay highlighted that it took institutional investors a decade to embrace Bitcoin. He suggested XRP investors should remain patient, noting that XRP has underperformed for only six years. He urged them to research further into XRP’s promising future. Unlike Bitcoin, Jay posited that XRP’s adoption by institutional investors might not take a decade.
He predicted significant FOMO and regret among those who overlook XRP’s potential before institutions drive its value up. Both Jones and Jay advocate for buying it now, suggesting that its current low price represents a valuable opportunity before institutional investments boost its value.
