đ XRP Is Beating $BTC  After the Crash - Hereâs Why
After the February crash, something unexpected happened. $XRP surged about 38% from the lows, while BTC ecovered only around 14%. That gap isnât 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.
Thereâs also a regulatory angle. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the CFTCâs 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 isnât over. Each cycleâs drawdown has compressed, but analysts see Bitcoin potentially consolidating between $61Kâ$74K before a deeper test near $54Kâ$55K. If that plays out, XRPâs strength may face another real test soon.
