Crypto investor Oscar Ramos commented on a short-term decline in XRP following a sudden price move that pushed the asset lower by roughly seven percent. In a post accompanying a video, Ramos stated that he took advantage of the drop, writing that he “got the $XRP dip.” His remarks focused on the speed of the move rather than portraying it as an unusual market event. In the video, Ramos explained that XRP fell from around $1.99 to near $1.84 within a brief period. He noted that buying activity increased below the $2 level, suggesting that many participants were prepared for volatility and acted quickly when prices moved lower. Ramos described the event as a flash crash, emphasizing that such movements are common in the digital asset market and often lead to strong reactions despite their limited scale.

He referenced commentary linking the price movement to political topics involving U.S. President Donald Trump and discussions related to Greenland. Ramos made it clear that he was not expressing support or opposition to any political outcome. Instead, he stated that his goal was to acknowledge what people were discussing while remaining focused on observable market behavior. He added that, if developments were to lead to increased access to resources for the United States, some investors might interpret that as economically positive, even though opinions differ. Ramos emphasized that assigning blame for a short-term price move was less important than recognizing how quickly sentiment can shift when multiple news items circulate concurrently. Market Pushback From the Community The post prompted responses from other users, including a comment from an X user identified as KINGVALEX. The commenter criticized what he viewed as excessive concern over a seven percent decline, arguing that such a move should not be treated as significant in a market known for sharp swings. This reaction reflects a common view among experienced participants who see short-term drops as routine rather than alarming.

According to a report from Times Tabloid, the event will host multinational leaders and executives from major industries. Among those expected to attend are Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and U.S. President Donald Trump. Crypto commentators have noted that the timing of the meeting has increased expectations around XRP, given Ripple’s presence at a gathering that brings together policymakers, institutional investors, and corporate leaders. Previous interactions between Garlinghouse and Trump suggest a level of familiarity that could allow for direct conversations during the event. While no specific outcomes have been disclosed, Ripple’s participation provides access to decision-makers who influence financial adoption and regulation. For XRP holders , the combination of short-term volatility and high-level meetings remains a key focus in the weeks ahead.
