XRP’s Audacious Gambit: Flipping Ethereum Before Year’s End?

by

My dear reader, it’s positively scintillating to imagine that, while the hoi polloi of crypto cling to their conventional views, there’s a rather droll faction whispering that XRP might, by some exquisite twist of fate—and a dash of irreverence—flip Ethereum in market cap before the curtain falls on this year! 😏

Enter the ever-charming John Deaton, founder of CryptoLawUS and a long-standing advocate for XRP holders in the Ripple-SEC drama. With a frolicsome wink, he insists that the gap between XRP and Ethereum is far slimmer than our complacent friends in the mainstream would have us believe.

The plot thickens with the curious debut of the 2x XRP ETF (XXRP). One might shrug at five million dollars in day-one trading, but in the theatrical realm of billion-dollar flows, this is akin to a sly aside that promises more than meets the eye. 😉

This debut places XXRP among the top 5% of ETF launches historically, boasting roughly four times the volume of its rather modest cousin, the 2x Solana ETF (SOLT). Who knew numbers could be so delightfully cheeky?

“Despite all the naysayers in our little crypto cabaret, I’ve always maintained that XRP possesses a certain je ne sais quoi—a charm that many in the industry would rather not admit. Imagine, 75K XRP holders once banded together to petition the Court in the Ripple case. Simply extraordinary. In my humble opinion, XRP…”

Deaton’s musings are not merely numbers on a page. The fact that over 75,000 XRP enthusiasts united to petition the court sends a rather cheeky message about real-world conviction and alignment. Bravo, if you ask me!

While Ethereum lounges with a market cap around $177.7 billion and enjoys the adulation of developer swarms and institutional darlings, XRP stands resolutely at $106.5 billion—with an FDV that cheekily tops Ethereum’s at $184.15 billion versus $178.95 billion. Oh, how the plot twists on paper!

Always the contrarian, XRP is not striving to mimic Ethereum’s well-trodden path. Instead, it sashays along its own route, prioritizing payments, compliance, and a growing allure showcased through ingenious innovations like XXRP. How very rakish! 😄
