XRP Ledger transaction volume has plummeted 90% from its peak, but the price remains stable within a long-term downtrend channel, indicating that the market has absorbed this decline. On-chain activity has stabilized at a lower baseline level of actual transfers and infrastructure usage, thereby filtering out speculative noise. Analysts point out that future price movements may depend on macroeconomic liquidity or regulatory catalysts rather than a sudden rebound in trading volume. After this prolonged compression period, volatility is expected to increase.

A seasoned XRP community member questioned the claim that holding 20,000 XRP can guarantee financial freedom, arguing that long-term costs and inflation will erode its value. He pointed out that true financial freedom typically requires assets of $5 million to $7 million and emphasized that disciplined financial planning is just as important as token prices. While some advocate holding 50,000 XRP for greater investment opportunities, others stress that sustainability and relevant knowledge are more important than mere accumulation.
