**$500 in Bitcoin vs. XRP in 2014: What It’s Worth Today**

A $500 investment in **Bitcoin** at 2014 lows would be worth about **$133,000** today (roughly **266x** return).

The same $500 in **XRP** at 2014 lows would now be worth around **$255,000** (approximately **511x** return).

XRP outperformed Bitcoin by more than 2x over the period, driven by early adoption, Ripple’s payment network progress, the 2025 XRP Spot ETF launch, banking charter approvals, and strong institutional inflows.

Despite years of SEC legal battles (2018–2025), holders who stayed through volatility saw major rewards as XRP broke above **$3** in 2025.

Bitcoin, meanwhile, crossed **$100,000** in 2024 and peaked above **$126,000** in 2025, delivering solid but lower relative gains from the 2014 entry point.#BTCvsXRP $XRP $BTC
