XRP holders are sitting on tremendous losses

XRP, the lion’s share of which is owned by blockchain company Ripple Labs, is currently changing hands at $0.19. It remains down 94 percent from its all-time high of roughly $3.30 it reached on Jan. 4, 2018.      

According to Watkins, the token’s aggregate cost basis is $1.38 despite the fact that it only 2.1 percent out of 2,131 daily closes were above $1.0.  

As reported by U.Today, trading vet Peter Brandt claimed that XRP price recently dipped below a crucial support level against Bitcoin.

Hence, Brandt expects it to plunge to as low as 1,100 satoshis since he believes that Ripple ‘has blown the wad’ allocated to support the token.
