The crypto market is witnessing heightened volatility as XRP gains momentum while giants like Bitcoin and Ethereum struggle. The latest surge in XRP’s value has drawn significant investor interest, fueled by the SEC’s positive stance on XRP ETF applications and Donald Trump’s announcement regarding crypto reserves.
XRP Surpasses BTC and ETH Amid Market Turbulence
Over the past three weeks, crypto investment products have seen massive outflows. A CoinShares report reveals a staggering $3.8 billion exit from the market. Leading the losses, Bitcoin suffered a $2.59 billion outflow, while Ethereum recorded a $300 million withdrawal.
Despite the bearish trend, XRP defied the odds with a $5 million inflow, proving its resilience. Meanwhile, Solana and Toncoin faced losses of $7.4 million and $22.6 million, respectively. XRP’s ability to hold firm amidst these outflows has strengthened investor confidence.
Are XRP ETFs Driving the Surge?
The unexpected rise in XRP could be attributed to speculation surrounding its ETF approval. Reports indicate that the SEC is now considering applications for an XRP ETF, fueling investor enthusiasm and injecting fresh capital into the market.
While the US market saw a $2.87 billion outflow, along with declines in Switzerland, Canada, and Sweden, XRP continued its upward trajectory. Similarly, Sui attracted $15.5 million in new investments, signaling increased institutional interest.
Trump’s Crypto Reserve Strategy Fuels XRP’s Growth
In a game-changing move, Donald Trump announced plans to include XRP, Solana, and Cardano in the national reserves alongside Bitcoin. This decision has ignited a fierce debate in the crypto space. Bitcoin maximalists argue that BTC remains the ultimate store of value, while XRP supporters highlight its superior technology.
Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson emphasized XRP’s robust technological foundation, while Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsely maintained that only Bitcoin holds true reserve asset status. This debate is likely to shape XRP’s long-term position in the market.
Market Rebounds as XRP Gains Traction
Last week, Bitcoin plunged to $85,000, triggering widespread panic. However, Trump’s announcement and the Ripple ETF discussions have sparked a recovery. Bitcoin is now trading at $93,366, Ethereum at $2,383, and XRP at $2.68. The total crypto market capitalization has surged by 8%, reaching $3.06 trillion.
XRP’s resilience and growing institutional interest suggest that the crypto market could be entering a new era. Stay updated with the latest trends and insights on The Bit Journal.
