A fresh wave of speculation is rippling through the crypto market following a viral X post by Edo Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy and a long-time XRP advocate. According to Farina, some early Bitcoin adopters may be cashing out of their BTC holdings to accumulate XRP, marking what could be a major shift in sentiment among crypto’s earliest investors. A Strategic Rotation? Farina’s remarks draw attention to a potential change in the behavior of early BTC holders. He likened the current opportunity to buy XRP near the $2 mark to buying Bitcoin when it traded under $100, a historic moment that minted many of today’s crypto millionaires. The recent dip in XRP’s price below $2 and its quick correction may be a calculated trap to shake out weak hands, allowing savvy investors to accumulate. He went further, claiming that some veteran Bitcoin holders used this opportunity to exit BTC and rotate into XRP, betting on its long-term breakout potential. While this claim lacks concrete on-chain evidence, it has captured the attention of traders looking for signs of a broader market realignment. RUMORS: BTC EARLY ADOPTERS ARE SELLING OUT TO BUY $XRP . — EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) July 4, 2025 The XRP Adoption Narrative Farina has long promoted XRP as a sleeping giant poised for mass adoption. In previous posts, he introduced the concept of the “XRP Adoption Candle,” suggesting a coming wave of institutional use, regulatory clarity, and potential ETF listings. In his view, XRP’s fundamentals, especially its use in real-world cross-border transactions, are becoming too compelling to ignore. He’s warned followers not to make the same mistake early Bitcoin holders did when they sold at $500, only to see BTC surge past $100,000. According to Farina, selling XRP at $10 or even $20 could one day look just as short-sighted .

While XRP wallet activity has surged up nearly 500% since 2022, analysts note that most of this growth has been retail-driven. Bitcoin, by contrast, remains the institutional heavyweight, still dominating capital inflows and long-term holding behavior. Farina’s claim that Bitcoin early adopters are reallocating into XRP may be more speculative than factual, for now. But it taps into a growing belief that XRP’s moment is near and that its current price level represents a historic buying opportunity. Whether the rumor proves true or not, it reflects a palpable shift in sentiment, one that could redefine the next phase of crypto market leadership.
