The 4% Rule is a guideline used in retirement planning. It suggests that if you withdraw 4% of your retirement portfolio in the first year, then adjust for inflation each subsequent year, your money should last at least 30 years.
(Because 1 ÷ 0.04 = 25)
Example: If you need $60,000/year, your nest egg should be $1,500,000. With XRP at $10, that's 150,000 XRP.
It depends on your monthly expenses and XRP's future price. For example, to support $5,000/month in retirement ($60,000/year), you need a $1.5M nest egg using the 4% rule. At XRP $10, that's 150,000 XRP. At XRP $25, only 60,000 XRP. At XRP $50, just 30,000 XRP. Use our calculator above to find your exact number.
The 4% Rule comes from the Trinity Study and suggests withdrawing 4% of your portfolio in year one, then adjusting for inflation annually. Historically, this has had a 95%+ success rate for 30-year retirements with a 60/40 stock/bond portfolio. Some financial advisors recommend 3-3.5% for extra safety, especially with volatile assets like crypto.
Diversification is key to any retirement plan. While XRP could be a significant part of your portfolio, financial experts recommend spreading risk across multiple assets. Consider XRP as one component alongside stocks, bonds, real estate, and other investments. Never invest more than you can afford to lose in any single asset.
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is the most popular strategy. Instead of buying all at once, invest a fixed amount weekly or monthly. This reduces the risk of buying at a peak and smooths out volatility. Our calculator shows how much to invest regularly to reach your XRP goal based on your timeline.
Cryptocurrency is taxable in most jurisdictions. When you sell XRP, you may owe capital gains tax on profits. Long-term holdings (over 1 year in the US) typically have lower tax rates. Consider consulting a tax professional and factor taxes into your retirement calculations. Some investors use tax-advantaged accounts where available.
