TLDRXRP’s price instability is influenced by Bitcoin’s speculative cycles, according to financial strategist Versan Aljarrah.Aljarrah believes XRP will gain true price stability once it decouples from Bitcoin’s price movements.Ripple has spent over a decade building institutional partnerships and financial infrastructure to support XRP’s growth.The launch of the first spot XRP ETF and increasing institutional adoption could help XRP break free from Bitcoin’s influence.XRP’s long-term success relies on its ability to move based on real-world utility rather than Bitcoin’s speculative trends.XRP’s price instability persists despite key developments, with experts urging the asset to decouple from Bitcoin. Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, recently pointed out that XRP’s price movements remain influenced by Bitcoin. He emphasized that until XRP gains independence, its price will continue to mirror Bitcoin’s speculative cycles.XRP’s Price Linked to Bitcoin’s Speculative CyclesVersan Aljarrah expressed his views on XRP’s price dependency on Bitcoin during a public statement on November 11. Aljarrah called Bitcoin a “debt-based speculative asset” and claimed that it has long dictated market movements. According to Aljarrah, XRP’s volatility stems from this correlation, preventing it from moving in a direction aligned with its utility.XRP will remain volatile as long as it’s correlated with debt based speculative assets like Bitcoin.However, there will come a time when XRP decouples from these markets and establishes itself as an independent standard that absorbs and consolidates the global financial system. pic.twitter.com/6rcOeY3B3l— Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) November 11, 2025Aljarrah argued that XRP’s true potential will emerge when it stops reacting to Bitcoin’s fluctuations. He stated that Bitcoin’s influence over the broader crypto market, including XRP, has been substantial. As long as XRP remains tied to Bitcoin’s price movements, it will struggle to achieve long-term stability and growth.XRP’s Long-Term Growth Tied to Institutional AdoptionDespite these challenges, XRP has made progress in building a strong foundation for long-term success. The asset has integrated with banks, liquidity providers, and payment networks across the globe. Ripple, the company behind XRP, has spent over a decade securing licenses and establishing connections with financial institutions worldwide.Aljarrah expressed confidence that XRP’s decoupling from Bitcoin is imminent. The launch of the first spot XRP ETF and increasing institutional interest could fuel XRP’s independence. As more banks and financial firms adopt XRP, the asset is expected to begin moving based on its real-world utility rather than speculative trends driven by Bitcoin.XRP’s future now depends on its ability to stand apart from Bitcoin’s price cycles. As XRP continues to expand its institutional partnerships, the market may soon see the asset begin to perform based on its own merits.The post Black Swan Capitalist: XRP Must Break Free from Bitcoin’s Influence appeared first on Blockonomi.
