XRP Struggles Against Bitcoin as Developers Shift to Other Blockchains

XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple, may be approaching a significant squeeze against Bitcoin (BTC).

Currently, the XRP/BTC trading pair is valued at 0.00000968 BTC, reflecting a 34.5% drop since the start of the year. However, it has seen a 27% rise since June, indicating potential momentum.

In August, XRP experienced a similar squeeze following the highly anticipated final ruling by Judge Analisa Torres in the SEC v. Ripple case.

This legal decision temporarily boosted XRP’s market dynamics, but challenges within the broader ecosystem persist.

Artur Kirjakulov, co-founder of XPMarket, has highlighted that the XRP Ledger ecosystem has reached its lowest point since January 2022. According to Kirjakulov, the shrinking market cap suggests that developers and projects are increasingly abandoning XRP for other blockchain networks. This trend could hamper innovation and erode investor confidence in the long run.

Moreover, the XRP ecosystem has struggled to capitalize on emerging trends like decentralized finance (DeFi) and meme coins, which have gained significant traction in other blockchain communities. The failure to engage with these growing sectors may further hinder XRP’s ability to attract new developers and investors, raising concerns about its future growth potential.
