Millionaire Dave Portnoy ditches XRP at $2.4, now wants to cry as it pumps 50%
Key Takeaways
- Dave Portnoy sold his XRP at $2.40, missing out on a 60% price surge.
- Portnoy expressed regret over his decision to sell and no longer owns XRP.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy revealed he exited his XRP position at $2.4 two weeks ago, missing out on a 50% rally as the token hit a record high of $3.6 on Thursday.
“I sold XRP when it went up to $2.40because the guy who told me to buy it told me that I should sell it because he thought Circle would compete with them, and he was unhappy with it,” Portnoy admitted in a video to his 3.7 million followers on X.
“I would have made millions, and I want to cry, and I don’t own it anymore,” he added. “Even though I was like the leader of the XRP army, I sold it.”
XRP was trading at $3.4 at press time, up around 25% in the last seven days, CoinGecko data shows. Its market capitalization has exceeded $200 billion , solidifying its status as the third-largest crypto asset.
The token’s price rally followed recent US legislative advancements, including the passage of the GENIUS Act, which is expected to benefit Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD.
Concurrently, President Trump’s potential executive order could open the US $9 trillion retirement market to crypto assets, enhancing market conditions for XRP and other crypto assets.
Portnoy previously faced controversies for his handling of the meme coin GREED , which he developed and then liquidated all in one day, causing its value to drop by 99%. Following GREED’s crash, he went on launching GREED2.

High interest rates are not the "end" of US stocks? Is profitability the real key?
JPMorgan believes that profit growth is the key factor determining the resilience of U.S. stock valuations. Data since 1950 shows an "inverted U-shaped" relationship between the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and S&P 500 valuations. Based on current profit levels, yields would need to reach about 5%-6% to significantly compress valuations. As long as profit growth remains above 15%, there is still room for valuations to be re-rated. If the yield curve steepens in a bear market, cyclical sectors such as energy and financials will benefit more; if it flattens, technology stocks will have a relative advantage.
