Market Strategist Says The XRP Collapse Has Begun. You Must Prepare

Financial expert Levi Rietveld has issued a stark warning to cryptocurrency investors, declaring that “the $XRP collapse has begun” as digital asset markets continue to face intense selling pressure.

In a recent tweet, Rietveld shared a video discussing the ongoing downturn across the cryptocurrency sector and offered his perspective on what may be driving the market’s decline.

According to Rietveld, the current correction has erased a significant amount of value from the broader crypto market. He argued that while investors are witnessing sharp losses across major digital assets, the situation may not be as straightforward as it appears.

Rietveld Claims Market Sell-Off Is Artificially Created

In the video attached to his tweet, Rietveld stated that the crypto-wide collapse currently unfolding is “almost completely artificially created.” He acknowledged that the market experienced a severe correction but suggested that larger forces may be influencing the decline.

Rietveld pointed to the scale of the losses already recorded. He stated that cryptocurrency markets have erased more than $2 trillion in market capitalization since reaching a record high in October 2025. According to his assessment, the overall market has declined by approximately 48% from those peak levels.

The financial commentator noted that market conditions could deteriorate further due to continued selling pressure affecting several of the industry’s largest assets. He specifically referenced XRP, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano, saying all of them have experienced significant downward pressure over the previous three days.

XRP Among Assets Facing Heavy Selling Pressure

Rietveld highlighted XRP’s recent price performance as an example of the broader weakness affecting the market. He noted that the asset recently suffered a daily decline of around 7%, followed by two additional consecutive days of losses.

While acknowledging that the current downturn is not the most severe decline XRP has ever experienced, he argued that the market environment feels different from previous corrections. According to Rietveld, investor sentiment has shifted dramatically, with fear becoming the dominant force influencing trading activity.

He suggested that the widespread uncertainty has created a challenging environment for market participants, particularly those attempting to determine whether prices have reached a bottom.

Preparing for What Comes Next

Despite the bearish outlook presented in his tweet, Rietveld focused much of his commentary on how investors might position themselves during the downturn. He framed the current market conditions as a period that could potentially create opportunities for those willing to prepare for the next phase of the cycle.

Rietveld shared his personal belief that markets are currently declining to establish a “clean bottom” during the ongoing bear market. Based on that view, he said he is preparing for further weakness while looking ahead to conditions that could emerge after the correction concludes.
