XRP Price and Ripple Progress Move in Opposite Directions: Does the Disconnect Have an End?

XRP price is struggling, even as Ripple makes progress through new partnerships, financial services, and regulatory approvals. Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, recently highlighted this disconnect. He noted that XRP was trading around $1.30, about 65% below its July 2025 high of $3.65. Meanwhile, amid the harrowing price drop, Ripple has been expanding its business and attracting major financial institutions. In a post on X, Aljarrah said, “The price and the progress are moving in opposite directions. That doesn’t happen forever.” His point is that Ripple is making progress, but XRP’s price has not reflected that growth. However, he believes the price and fundamental progress will ultimately align. Indeed, several major developments have strengthened Ripple’s position in the financial industry.
