Analyst Revises Prediction on XRP Overtaking Ethereum Market Cap
In late 2024 and early 2025, there was speculation that XRP could surpass Ethereum in market capitalization following a significant rally. Analysts noted XRP's sharp increase while Ethereum struggled to maintain price levels.
Analyst Revises XRP vs. Ethereum Outlook
Charting Guy, a prominent analyst, has changed his stance, stating the flippening is unlikely. Key points include:
- XRP surged nearly 600% from November 2024 to January 2025.
- Ethereum's price increased significantly, reaching $4,736, a 239% rise since its April low.
- Ethereum's market cap reached $572 billion, while XRP's is at $193 billion.
- The gap between their market caps has widened to over $368 billion.
Current Market Dynamics
In the last four weeks, Ethereum gained 52%, whereas XRP's growth stalled. For XRP to match Ethereum's market cap, it would need to reach $9.30, assuming no movement from Ethereum. Charting Guy advises against unrealistic price targets and suggests holding both assets for better market exposure.
Currently, Ethereum's momentum makes the prospect of XRP overtaking it less realistic.
