Renowned finance author and wealth manager Linda P. Jones has praised a Bitcoin holder for converting his BTC holdings to XRP.
In a tweet, Bitcoin investor Shart Vader claimed he converted all his BTC holdings to XRP last year. This revelation comes amid Linda’s tweet, which highlighted the strong demand for XRP due to multiple filings for XRP ETFs.
Linda reiterated that many Bitcoin maximalists will regret not diversifying their portfolios to include XRP this year. In response, Vader pointed out that he made the conversion last year. Reacting to this, the financial expert praised the decision as a “smart move.”

XRP to Outperform Bitcoin?
Linda’s commentary suggests that XRP will likely outperform Bitcoin this year, potentially leaving many BTC maxis in regret. She expects people who invest in only Bitcoin and ignore XRP to miss out on potential gains.
XRP has already demonstrated its prowess in registering significant gains. Since November 2024, XRP’s growth has outperformed Bitcoin’s by over 200%.
While it remains unclear whether XRP will sustain its incredible performance over BTC, Linda hinted at further gains that could leave many Bitcoin maxis in regret.
Linda Optimistic About XRP Potential
Linda has remained optimistic about XRP’s potential over the years. As The Crypto Basic reported yesterday, she speculated that many institutions will divest from Bitcoin and invest in XRP.
The financial expert referenced the multiple filings for XRP ETFs, emphasizing that they reflect a strong demand for the coin. In a follow-up statement, Linda stated that financial entities are filing for XRP ETFs because they anticipated strong demand for the product.
She speculated that XRP might receive preferential tax treatment in the U.S. due to its ranking as the number one token in the country. If this happens, Linda expects XRP to become more appealing to investors.
According to her, some investors may even divert funds from existing Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs into XRP ETFs. Furthermore, she contended that XRP’s inclusion in the U.S. digital asset stockpile confers more legitimacy on the coin, potentially driving its demand.
The expert noted that traditional investors find it easier to venture into the crypto market through ETFs than direct investments. She emphasized that these investors have substantial funds in their retirement accounts, which is bullish for XRP.
Institutional Interest in XRP Soars
In the meantime, the number of prospective issuers seeking to launch XRP ETFs in the U.S. has continued to spike.
Some of the top issuers include Bitwise, Franklin, Canary, Grayscale, 21Shares, WisdomTree, and CoinShares. Earlier this week, the SEC postponed its decision on some filings, extending the deadline to May 2025.
Notably, top expert Vincent Van Code predicted that the SEC may likely approve multiple XRP ETFs on May 22, 2025.
