Ripple has spent nearly nine years below its all-time high of $3.84 set in January 2018, yet the token still managed an almost eightfold run from roughly $0.49 in November 2024 to $3.66 by July 2025. YouTuber Moon Lambo cites Quant (QNT) and Zcash (ZEC) as proof that years of stagnation can precede outsized moves: QNT delivered an unrealized gain of roughly 97 % from a purchase around $98 in 2023, and ZEC climbed to approximately $1,700 this month, a 1,417 % return from a buy near $112 in 2021. ETF inflows represent the most commonly cited demand thesis for XRP, but turning that possibility into price discovery still requires proving demand at a market cap and liquidity depth measured in the tens of billions of dollars, a challenge that QNT and ZEC did not have to meet.
