Coach JV Confirms First Dip Buy as Market Turns Red
At 12:18 PM UTC yesterday, Coach JV revealed on X that he added to his positions across multiple assets, including $XRP.
He described the market as “bleeding red” and said he was dollar-cost averaging on the way down, emphasizing that conviction matters during drawdowns. JV noted that he was being transparent about his actions and encouraged followers to make their own decisions.
Screenshots shared alongside the post showed:
- $2,000 in Bitcoin, receiving 0.028 $BTC
- $2,000 in $XRP, totaling 1,443.77 $XRP
- $1,000 in $WLFI, totaling 7,880 $WLFI
Notably, this disclosure suggests he entered $XRP when the token was trading at $1.38.
Second Buy Follows as $XRP Extends Losses
Later in the day, at 4:47 PM UTC, JV confirmed a second round of purchases as prices continued to dip. He reiterated his long-held view that wealth is built during periods of fear, again stressing transparency rather than signaling or providing advice.
The second screenshot showed:
- $1,500 in Bitcoin, receiving 0.022 $BTC
- $1,000 in $XRP, totaling 764 $XRP
- $500 in $WLFI, totaling 4,047 $WLFI
Community Questions the Size of the Buys
Meanwhile, not everyone was convinced. X user @erichardson questioned why JV, who is often described as a millionaire, would invest relatively small amounts during what he framed as a prime buying opportunity.
The commenter suggested that JV expects further downside ahead and described the current market environment as “a dark winter.”
“I think you know the red is still coming. Just be real with us,” he said.
Coach JV: It’s Just a DCA Strategy
In response, JV argued that deploying all capital at once makes little sense in a falling market. As an example, he pointed out that his earlier Bitcoin purchase occurred at around $71,000, while $BTC later dropped to $66,000. This allows him to buy again at a lower level.
According to JV, dollar-cost averaging on both the way down and the way up reduces regret and improves long-term positioning.
This makes no sense. Why on earth would I throw everything at it at once? You DCA in. Example my first buy this AM was at 71k $BTC, and now it's at 66 K. If I had not DCA I would have missed the 66k. You DCA on the way down and the way up.

$XRP at $1.11 Keeps Dip Buyers Active
Coach JV’s disclosures come as $XRP trades near $1.11, down roughly 26% over the past 24 hours and 32% over the past week, marking one of its sharpest pullbacks since its July peak of $3.66.
While uncertainty remains high, public dip-buying by prominent commentators highlights how some investors are choosing gradual accumulation over trying to time an exact market bottom.
