Veteran investor Michael XBT backs CRV against Bitcoin after heavy XRP trade

The Crypto Basic reported that veteran Bitcoin investor Michael XBT expects Curve DAO Token (CRV) to be a standout performer in the current market cycle, drawing a parallel to the XRP rally in the previous one. XBT said he invested heavily in XRP last cycle and now sees similar potential in CRV, citing the token's relative strength against the broader crypto market and price action that he says diverges from the wider market. He said he began buying CRV at $0.20 and kept adding as the price climbed, and said: 'I think we're about to witness that God Candle against BTC.' The article describes his weekly CRV/BTC chart as recovering from a prolonged downtrend and approaching a breakout from a pattern of lower highs and lower lows that has persisted since 2024. It lists $76 million in active loans, more than $300 million in staking, rising revenue and a 16% reduction in CRV emissions as figures behind the bullish case. No other outlet covered the claim, and the article gives no timing, target price or position size beyond the $0.20 entry.
