Pundit Sends Urgent Message to XRP Holders: XRP About to Take Over?

Levi Rietveld, creator of Crypto Crusaders and a prominent XRP enthusiast, recently shared an exciting video about XRP. It featured commentary from Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors and one of Wall Street’s most recognized financial strategists.

The video has attracted significant attention within the XRP community, as Lee’s analysis of 2026 market conditions points to a bull cycle for XRP.

What Tom Lee Said About 2026

Lee describes 2026 as “a continuation of the bull market that started in 2022.” He identifies three major forces that will shape market conditions this year. The first is a new Federal Reserve leadership transition. Lee notes that “the market always tests a new Fed,” and the confirmation process alone can produce a correction.

The second factor is White House policy. Lee states that “the White House is going to be more deliberate in picking winners and losers” in 2026. He points to disruption across technology, IT consulting, and healthcare in 2025 as a preview of that dynamic. This year, he expects more industries, sectors, and countries to face that same pressure.

The third factor involves AI valuations. Markets are still working out how much AI growth is already priced in, and Lee sees that uncertainty as an additional source of volatility.

A Drawdown Before a Strong Finish

Lee does not shy away from near-term caution. He suggests these three factors could collectively produce a drawdown that “feels like a bear market.” He puts the potential range at 10% to 20% peak to trough. He also raises the possibility that markets could end up down year-to-date at some point before recovering. However, he expects to finish strong at the end of the year.

That recovery outlook matters for XRP holders. A bull market continuation, paired with a mid-year reset, creates the kind of setup that has historically rewarded assets with strong institutional interest and utility narratives.

Why XRP Is Central to This Conversation

XRP has built significant momentum into 2026. Regulatory clarity in the U.S. has improved its standing among institutional participants. Its role in cross-border payments gives it a functional use case that other digital assets lack. As Lee’s analysis points to a strong year-end finish for markets broadly, XRP enters that window with real structural advantages.

Rietveld’s decision to pair Lee’s macro commentary with an XRP focus reflects a calculated view. The conditions Lee outlines favor assets that can absorb short-term volatility and still deliver on longer-term performance. XRP fits that profile.
