🚀 XRP Is Beating $BTC After the Crash - Here’s Why
After the February crash, something unexpected happened. $XRP surged about 38% from the lows, while BTC ecovered only around 14%. That gap isn’t small - and traders definitely noticed.
XRP bounced from roughly $1.12 to $1.67 before cooling off. Coins were also moving off Binance, often a sign of accumulation rather than selling pressure. At the same time, XRP spot ETFs crossed $1.37B in inflows - hitting $1B faster than any crypto ETF except Bitcoin, even as BTC and $ETH funds saw heavy outflows.
There’s also a regulatory angle. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee, putting XRP closer to the policy conversation in the U.S. That kind of positioning matters long term.
Still, history suggests volatility isn’t over. Each cycle’s drawdown has compressed, but analysts see Bitcoin potentially consolidating between $61K–$74K before a deeper test near $54K–$55K. If that plays out, XRP’s strength may face another real test soon.
