Pundit Says XRP Holders Wonder What They Did to Deserve This

The sentiment resonates with a community that has watched positive news fail to move the price. The pattern is familiar, and the frustration is growing.

The Numbers Tell the Story

CoinMarketCap data shows XRP up 7.67% over the past 30 days. That sounds positive until you compare it to the rest of the top 10. Solana gained 13.46%. BNB gained 10.64%. Ethereum gained 10.40%. Even Bitcoin gained 7.33%. Zcash, sitting at #9, gained 69.30%. XRP, ranked #5, sits near the bottom of the 30-day performance leaderboard, outpacing only TRON.

This is not the first time XRP has shown this pattern. When Ripple announced Jeonbuk Bank as its third Korean institutional partner in 2026, XRP fell below $1. Positive news arrived, but the price ignored it. Crypto Bitlord, a prominent trader and community figure, captured the frustration, saying he was slowly starting to hate the asset.

 How the Community Responded

The Bigger Picture

The frustration is real, but sentiment has shifted before. When Crypto Bitlord read a detailed Treasury thesis linking Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD to U.S. Treasury infrastructure, he said he’s become 100x more bullish on the digital asset, adding that all his previous price targets needed upgrading.

Weeks later, with XRP at $1.62, he called for a major move higher, stating that the asset is about to go turbo nuclear.
