Joren Lundgren, founder of Xora Finance and an XRP holder since 2016, wrote on X on October 31 that after ten years of holding the asset, he has “never been clearer” about where it is headed.

The post, flagged by Coinreaders, split the XRP community within hours of publication. Notably, the statement arrived without a price target or forecast attached, leaving no specific market projection for readers to weigh alongside Lundgren’s conviction — and, with no accompanying figures or analysis offered, only his decade-long record of holding the asset to serve as context for the claim.

Lundgren’s holding period spans much of XRP’s market history. His 2016 entry came before the asset’s 2017 run-up, meaning his ten years of holding have encompassed both the sharp appreciation and the multi-year drawdown that followed. XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, an open-source blockchain launched in 2012, and has long been closely associated with payments company Ripple, which has promoted the ledger’s use for payment and settlement. The asset rose sharply during the 2017 bull market before entering a subsequent multi-year drawdown, and it remains among the most heavily traded cryptocurrencies.

Public statements from long-term XRP holders have historically drawn rapid reactions from the asset’s large and engaged investor community, and Lundgren’s post followed that familiar pattern, drawing divided responses within a matter of hours. For readers following the exchange, that dynamic is the element to watch: whether a conviction-only statement from a known long-term holder continues to circulate as a reference point in the community’s debate, and whether Lundgren follows up with the specifics his post left out.
