Genfinity founder weighs full XRP exit after seven-year hold

Ryan Solomon says he may liquidate his entire XRP holding, citing the opportunity cost of a prolonged wait despite retaining a $10 price target.

Ryan Solomon says he may liquidate his entire XRP holding, citing the opportunity cost of a prolonged wait despite retaining a $10 price target. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹103 ($1.10). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by The Crypto Basic, with live market data added, as of Mon, 09 Nov 2026 15:15:01 UTC.

Why it matters

A potential sale by a long-term holder highlights how the cost of waiting is weighing on sentiment even when XRP remains part of the founder’s long-term thesis.

Key takeaways
  • Genfinity founder Ryan Solomon may sell his entire XRP position after seven years
  • He still believes XRP could eventually reach $10
  • XRP trades at $1.1, down 5.07% over 24 hours and 11.60% over seven days
  • Crypto market sentiment remains in fear territory

Genfinity founder Ryan Solomon, also known online as King Solomon, said he is considering selling his entire XRP position at current prices. The Crypto Basic reported that Solomon has held XRP for seven years and framed the possible exit around the opportunity cost created by continuing to wait.

The potential sale did not amount to a complete rejection of XRP. Solomon said he still believes the asset could eventually reach $10, but he has expressed frustration with what he described as shifting narratives around XRP. His position therefore reflects tension between a remaining long-term price thesis and dissatisfaction with how long the anticipated outcome has taken to materialize.

Only The Crypto Basic reported the comments, so there is no cross-outlet corroboration for Solomon’s stated intentions or the $10 target. No sale was announced in the supplied coverage; the comment was presented as a possibility rather than a completed transaction. His seven-year holding period provides the background for his focus on opportunity cost.

Live data show XRP at $1.1, with a 24-hour decline of 5.07% and a seven-day loss of 11.60%. Its market capitalization is $70.13 billion. The broader crypto market is broadly down, with total capitalization at $2.57 trillion; Bitcoin is down 1.41% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 29, indicating fear. What to watch is whether Solomon follows through on a sale and whether his stated $10 conviction remains unchanged as market conditions evolve.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹109.89 (about $1.10), down 5.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
