CNBC host Jim Cramer called Ripple’s native token XRP a “giant con” and predicted that the crypto would crash to $0. Cramer stated that XRP would experience a series of constant drops that would eventually take its price to $0 someday.
“The whole thing seems bottomless. It’s just a giant con. Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin, those are all cons. We put up XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin; those are all, I believe, cons. Why don’t we put up a bunch of stocks valued at the same size? I’m tired of the con,” he said on Squawk Box in December 2022.
