I don't think they're going anywhere anytime soon. I've been talking about them for months, possibly a year. One guy owned more than 50,000 shares, made all of his money back, and now it's just free money, even after taxes.
I'm more interested in this than actually owning crypto. Yes, they're high risk, but still going strong. Yield fluctuates, but it's paying better than the S&P 500 (for now) far far far surpassing their annual yield of 10%

Hopefully you diversify with other ETFs too - lots of opportunities in the stock market

That said, it is built to work with ISO 20022 which is the new standard for global banking communication. A lot of big institutions are shifting over to it, and XRP is one of the cryptos designed to integrate smoothly with the banking system. So while most of crypto is trying to move away from banks, XRP is positioning itself to be used by them.
That's why I think it will do well, but it's not something I'd hold my wealth in, easily seized etc.. they can freeze your wallet at a moments notice.

Might want to look into options.

Yes I believe it will go higher as time passes, until they determine the final CBDC they wish to use, in which case they will reset BTC and other crypto values to zero to force everyone to accept the chosen CBDC. It's all a time game, and if you are one of the privileged few, you know when to be ready for the crash...
