However, much of this increase comes from newer investors, with nearly half of the new capital flowing from addresses created within the past six months.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/beincrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/woc-13-08-1-.png\" alt=\"XRP BITCOIN ACTIVE ADDRESSES\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This trend indicates a potentially fragile rally, as retail-driven growth can be volatile.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/crypto-expert-sees-bitcoin-going-for-a-rally-after-tariff-shock\/\" title=\"Crypto Expert Sees Bitcoin Going for a Rally After Tariff Shock\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/bitcoin2311-240x170.webp\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Crypto Expert Sees Bitcoin Going for a Rally After Tariff Shock<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Geographically, the surge is concentrated in Western markets, mainly Europe and the U.S., while interest in Asia and Africa is limited. Despite the recent momentum, inflows have slowed since February 2025, and the profit-to-loss ratio has declined since January, hinting at waning confidence among new investors. Glassnode cautions that XRP\u2019s peak demand might have already been reached.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the high concentration of new investors raises concerns about market stability, as retail-driven rallies are often short-lived. If the momentum fades, there could be a sharp correction, especially since the current rally lacks substantial long-term support.<\/p>\n<p>Market watchers are closely monitoring whether recent buyers will hold their positions or trigger a wave of sell-offs if prices start to decline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retail investors are increasingly favoring XRP over Bitcoin,
