Peter Brandt does not comment on XRP often. The veteran trader has had a complicated relationship with the asset and its community. That makes his latest remarks worth paying close attention to.

Crypto pundit BankXRP (@BankXRP) posted a clip from the Crypto Banter podcast, hosted by Ran Neuner. In it, Brandt said, “If you had a bet on a horse to become transactional, it would probably be XRP.” He named XRP first when identifying which cryptocurrencies have the best chance of achieving real-world transactional adoption.

“XRP probably is the best,” he said. He listed Solana and Ethereum alongside it, adding that he thinks “most of them are going to end up junk.” Neuner expressed surprise at the comment, noting he did not expect Brandt to speak positively about XRP.

Brandt’s History With XRP

Brandt was initially skeptical of XRP, but he later changed his position. Rather than welcoming that shift, portions of the XRP community continued to criticize him. He pulled back from posting about the asset as a result. Since then, he has shared the occasional chart but has largely stayed out of XRP commentary.

Despite the friction, his analytical work on XRP has proven accurate. In late 2024, he predicted a significant price move if XRP could break above its 2021 peak of $1.96. XRP crossed that level, and the move that followed peaked at $3.39 in January 2025. His technical call was correct, and his latest comments show his conviction in the asset has not changed.

Brandt’s Opinion on XRP

It is worth being precise about what Brandt stated. While he did not call XRP the definitive winner, he said it probably holds the best position among cryptocurrencies competing for transactional use. He placed it ahead of Solana and Ethereum in that specific context.

His comments were a measured assessment from a veteran trader who has watched this market for years and followed XRP closely enough to make accurate price predictions.

Why Brandt’s View Counts

Brandt carries credibility in technical analysis circles. He is not a crypto native, which is part of what gives his commentary weight. When someone with his background and his history of skepticism toward crypto names XRP as the most likely candidate for transactional adoption, that is a data point worth noting.

BankXRP pointed out that Brandt was calling crypto tops and bottoms before most traders knew what a chart was. He has no allegiance to any asset and no incentive to favor XRP, which adds more weight to his comments on the asset.
