For most of the end of 2024 and early 2025, many in the cryptographic world believed XRP It can overtake Ethereum in market capitalization. Faith increased after the powerful XRP rally at the end of last year, which reached the elevation of most of the main coins Ethereum He fought to maintain key price levels.
At that time, market analysts were convinced that the gap between them would soon close. Now one of the most renowned supporters of Flippening, a popular analyst known as a guy from the map, reversed his position and claims that this is unlikely in the near future.
The analyst withdraws to XRP Flippening Ethereum Prediction
The guy with charts indicated the period between November 2024 and January 2025 when XRP has increased Almost 600%, while ETH barely moved and even dropped to a minima in the amount of USD 1385 in April. At that time XRP’s Price strength And a rapid raise in market capitalization, an raise about seven times in just weeks, led to many conviction that it can become the best Altcoin.
However, in post This week, a guy with charts admitted: “It is not anymore.” He explained that Ethereum came in in April, near his falls, and since then ETH showed “Huge strength. “At present, Ethereum trads only 10% below the highest level $ 4,891, reaching USD 4,784 earlier that day.
Ethereum pushed the cup Market captain up to $ 572 billion, compared to $ 193 billion XRP. The difference between them, currently over $ 338 billion, has increased significantly since July 13, when it amounted to $ 200 billion. The guy from the map claims that the good results of Ethereum made flipping Much less realisticAt least in the near future.
Ethereum’s strength leaves XRP playing
Only in the last four weeks ETH has jumped 52%, while the raise in XRP has largely sticked. Even if XRP They were to be created 2.5 times from the current price of USD 3.22 to around USD 8, its market value would be around USD 477 billion, still much less than the current level of Ethereum.
Guy from the map also pointed out that in order for XRP to match the current market capitalization of Ethereum, it would have to reach USD 9.30, and this assumes that ETH stops moving, while XRP ranks 3x. In his opinion, this scenario is “rather unlikely.” He warned against listening to “moon boys” who push unrealistic XRP price goals, ignoring Ethereum continuous strength.
Instead, he advises investors to maintain both assets, arguing that too focusing on one coin leaves traders revealed if the market is moving in a different direction. He emphasized that the forceful Ethereum rally was overdue, as it was Playing up For Bitcoin for most of the season.
What once seemed to be a real possibility seems distant like Ethereum He gains a momentum. While XRP is still taking place, it is clear that Ethereum is not standing in place, which means that the race between them is for now more one -sided.
