Will XRP Steal the Spotlight from SOL and DOGE? You Won’t Believe What Happens Next! 😲

by

Ah, dear reader, gather ’round as we delve into the curious case of XRP, the cryptocurrency that might just waltz its way into the hallowed halls of U.S. ETF approval before the likes of Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE). Yes, you heard it right! According to the esteemed crypto oracle, Kaiko, XRP is strutting its stuff like a peacock in a room full of pigeons.

In a report that could make even the most stoic of souls chuckle, it was revealed that XRP and SOL boast the deepest 1% market depth on exchanges that one might actually trust. This means, my friends, that these tokens are not just sitting pretty; they have enough liquidity to handle big trades without sending prices into a tailspin. Quite the feat, wouldn’t you say?

But lo and behold! XRP has recently decided to take the lead, leaving SOL in its dust. Since the end of 2024—yes, you read that correctly—XRP has doubled its liquidity, leaving Cardano’s ADA gasping for breath in the rearview mirror. Who knew cryptocurrencies could be so competitive? It’s like a race of tortoises, but with a lot more drama!

Now, let’s not forget the other contenders in this wild race. Tokens like LTC, which share a few traits with the mighty BTC, might also find a path to approval. But who cares about them when XRP is busy rewriting the rules of the game?

Ah, the saga of the Bitcoin ETF! A legal battle that could rival the greatest of Russian novels, involving Grayscale and the SEC, revealed the latter’s rather whimsical approach to different types of ETFs. Meanwhile, Blackrock strutted in with their rock-solid filings, as if they were the kings of the crypto castle.

But XRP, dear reader, has a tale of its own. With a futures market that resembles a ghost town and most trading happening outside the U.S., one might think it’s a lost cause. Yet, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, XRP’s U.S. trading has surged to heights unseen since 2021, the year the SEC decided to play the villain and sue Ripple. Oh, the irony!

As Solana’s share in the U.S. dwindles from a robust 30% in 2022 to a mere 16% now, XRP is basking in newfound interest, thanks to the launch of a shiny new 2x XRP ETF by Teucrium. This little gem promises investors double the daily returns of XRP, and it kicked off with a bang—$5 million in trading volume on its very first day! Teucrium proudly declared it their “most successful launch.” Talk about a marketing triumph!

Yet, not all traders are throwing caution to the wind. On the trading platform Deribit, whispers of caution echo as traders seek protection in case XRP decides to take a nosedive. Because, let’s face it, in the world of crypto, what goes up must come down—eventually.

As the SEC ponders over XRP ETF applications, including one from Grayscale with a decision deadline looming ominously on May 22, we can only sit back and enjoy the show. Will XRP emerge victorious, or will it be left in the dust of its competitors? Only time will tell, dear reader, and what a time it shall be!
