Recently, the XRP community has become lively again. Some analysts have leaked that Ripple may launch an IPO in 2026—if true, for this company closely linked to the global payment system, it would undoubtedly be a significant turning point toward traditional financial markets. More rigorous information disclosure, stronger institutional backing, and the potential of XRP as a liquidity tool... community discussions are heated.

But let's pause and think. How should we approach investing?

It’s always the same: when a news item appears, everyone starts speculating whether the coin price will rise. IPO timelines, positive expectations, FOMO and FUD take turns. The result? Exhausting, and the returns may not even be good.

A more worthwhile question to consider from a different perspective—are we betting on those "coming soon" stories, or are we betting on underlying systems that can continuously generate value?

Seemingly subtle differences actually determine two completely different investment outcomes. The former keeps you glued to news, predicting dates, swinging between emotions. The latter encourages you to look at a broader track: which infrastructure, regardless of a company's short-term movements, can continuously profit from the long-term expansion of the entire crypto economy?

This is what experienced investors who have gone through multiple cycles and survived while making money are thinking about. It’s not about predicting XRP’s rise or fall based on what Ripple does, but about finding those "underlying" assets that naturally appreciate as the ecosystem prospers.

IPO news indeed has news value, but it shouldn’t be the sole reason for your decision-making.

Well said. Another wave of stories saying "This time it will really rise" has appeared. And then? Will it fall or keep falling? Will there be losses or not? People who truly make money never chase hot topics; they have long been positioned in infrastructure. The 2026 IPO might really happen, or it might be a flop. What's the difference? The underlying logic won't change, and the demand for payments won't disappear. Don't be hijacked by the news. This is the biggest lesson.

After research and analysis, the IPO in 2026... Ripple's background is questionable, and the key issue is the problem with tokenomics design. Historical data shows that another capital influx is coming to harvest profits, don't be greedy. What truly deserves attention is the underlying infrastructure, not gambling on stories. It is recommended to monitor the flow of funds in these wallet addresses; data indicates that institutions are quietly accumulating, which is more interesting.

Another story about 2026, as if it's really going to happen. I just want to know if anyone will still remember this prediction by then.

Well said, that's the issue—everyone is betting on stories, no one is paying attention to fundamentals. Looking at the long term, IPO itself doesn't change much; the key is whether the payment system can actually operate smoothly. Another round of FOMO harvesting, wake up brothers. This article hits the nail on the head; we are indeed always chasing news rather than value. The underlying infrastructure is the real reason for long-term holding; IPO is just fleeting. To be honest, Ripple's IPO might not be a good thing for XRP holders; it could even face more regulatory restrictions. That makes sense, but I will still keep an eye on the IPO progress, after all, the timeline itself represents expectations. The classic difference between gambling and investing—most people making money from the former shows what problem? If the underlying infrastructure isn't solid, boasting about IPOs feels like putting the cart before the horse.
