Yesterday, I was talking about this market trend coming, and unexpectedly, it exploded at night!
In this bull market, the most touching sentence is: "Long-termism has never been sexy, but it has always been the most effective path."
In the past two years, everyone was crazy about All In altcoins, chasing hot trends, and trading in and out. The result? Those who steadily held ETH and BNB were the ones who truly doubled or even multiplied their wealth by tens of times.
BNB: Massive Value Realization Achieved Through Time
Just this week, $BNB officially broke through $850, hitting a new all-time high, and the market finally began to understand its financial logic.
The most eye-catching aspect is, of course, CZ's wealth curve. According to Forbes data, his personal BNB holdings are worth over $75 billion, with approximately 89.1 million tokens, representing 64% of the circulating supply. This means that with BNB alone, he has surpassed the net worth of Koch Industries' leader Julia Koch, directly entering the ranks of global top billionaires.
This is not a wealth myth, but the result of long-term token value accumulation.
From burning mechanisms to rising on-chain indicators, from whale accumulation to institutional positioning, from PancakeSwap trading volume to rising TVL data, plus the Maxwell upgrade of the BNB chain on June 30th—this rise is a comprehensive collaboration of on-chain fundamentals.
#BNB stands out because it not only is resilient against market drops but also brings actual returns—whether through Launchpool, airdrops, or dividends. It's more like a "tech blue-chip" in crypto, not rising wildly but providing peace of mind. In a bull market, it doesn't require you to gamble; you just need to be willing to hold.
This round, BNB is not the climax, but the starting point of value realization. 1000U is not a dream, but a target with reasonable expectations.
XRP: Technical Side Just Entering Main Upward Wave?
If BNB represents value realization, XRP is a potential stock about to "unleash its ultimate move".
On July 18th, $XRP surged to $3.65 but then slightly retreated. However, the technical side showed a signal that caught my attention: the golden cross of the 21-day and 55-day moving averages on the weekly chart. Historically, every time this signal appeared, XRP launched a fierce market movement.
For instance, after the golden cross in 2017, it rose by 40,000%, and the 2020 golden cross brought a 750% increase. This round's golden cross just appeared, and XRP has already risen about 560% from its bottom, and this wave might be far from over.
Famous analyst Egrag believes that based on two different cycle assumptions, XRP's target prices are 9 and 24, corresponding to approximately 1500% and 4000% potential gains.
Another analyst, CasiTrades, from an Elliott Wave perspective, points out that XRP is currently at the starting point of the third main upward wave, with the second wave already completed. The next target is $3.82, and if it breaks through this level, it might directly aim for new highs.
Conclusion
We once thought that only by following hot spots and trading altcoins could we get rich. But an increasingly clear point is: True wealth that transcends cycles is found in logic within structures, not excitement in madness.
BNB took five years to become a "blue-chip", while XRP has just completed its bottom consolidation. If missing ETH was regrettable and missing BNB was helpless, then the upcoming XRP might be the last chance fate gives us to verify "long-termism".
Don't wait until everyone understands before making a move; by then, it's not positioning, but bag holding.
