Why Ripple (XRP) Could Outpace Bitcoin in the Next Bull Run
Move over, Bitcoin—XRP's gearing up for a breakout. While BTC hogs the spotlight, Ripple's dark horse is quietly building momentum. Here's what the charts won't tell you.
The institutional advantage
Banks won't touch Bitcoin with a ten-foot pole, but they're flirting with XRP for cross-border settlements. Ripple's regulatory clarity gives it an edge—no existential SEC dread hanging over every price swing.
Liquidity on steroids
XRP's 3-second settlement times make Bitcoin look like a dial-up connection. When the next wave of institutional money hits, speed wins. Hedge funds would rather swallow their pride than wait 10 minutes for a confirmation.
The cynical truth
Let's be real—half of crypto's 'fundamentals' are just narratives duct-taped to price charts. But in this casino, XRP's got the better poker face. And in a market where even meme coins moon, that might be all that matters.
Why Does XRP Have More Potential Than Bitcoin?
Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at around $122,000 right now. It is the highest the asset has ever reached. Many anticipate BTC to continue its upward momentum over the coming years. Industry experts believe the original crypto will eventually breach the $1 million mark by the end of this decade. If BTC hits $1 million from current price levels, its price will rally by roughly 720%.
XRP, on the other hand, could climb much higher percentage points than Bitcoin (BTC) over the coming years. According to Telegaon’s XRP statistics, it could trade at a maximum price of $48.03 in 2030. xrp price will rally by about 1369%.
XRP had a few rough years after the SEC sued Ripple in December 2020 for allegedly selling unregistered securities. The lawsuit presented substantial challenges to XRP’s price. The asset even failed to hit a new peak during the 2021 bull run when many other assets were climbing to new all-time highs. The lawsuit was recently put to rest and has opened the possibility for XRP to climb to new heights.
There are also a few spot XRP ETF applications awaiting approval at the SEC. There is a high chance that the financial watchdog will approve at least one XRP ETF this year. The approval of an ETF will likely lead to a massive inflow of institutional money. Institutional inflows are one of the main catalysts for Bitcoin (BTC) hitting new peaks this year. We could see a similar pattern emerge for XRP as well.
