Updated: Dec 27 2025- Structural Shift: Novogratz highlights a transition in crypto asset evaluation from narrative-driven tokens to value-generating platforms, indicating that XRP and Cardano must prove their economic utility to maintain market confidence.
- Current Status of XRP: XRP is currently trading around $1.85, facing persistent selling pressure and unresolved value-capture issues, with technical indicators showing it is in a broader downtrend.
- Challenges for Cardano: Cardano is trading at approximately $0.35, and despite strong community support, the lack of economic activity is eroding investor confidence in its future prospects.
- Future Outlook: Novogratz anticipates that over the next 1-3 years, narrative-only tokens that fail to integrate into financial platforms risk being sidelined, indicating a narrowing survival space for XRP and Cardano.
