Ripple Report Highlights XRP’s Strong Q1 2025 Outperformance Against BTC & ETH
In its latest XRP Markets Report, Ripple revealed that XRP outshined major cryptocurrencies in Q1 2025. The report credits XRP’s dominance to its landmark legal win against the U.S. SEC, which resulted in a reduced fine and opened the doors for increased institutional adoption.
Following this victory, XRP’s price surged by 50% to $3.40 — a level it hadn’t seen since 2018. Although there’s been a minor price pullback since, XRP’s year-over-year gain stands at an impressive 295%, leaving Bitcoin’s 47.2% gain and Ethereum’s 43.1% drop far behind.
Adding to its momentum, Ripple’s acquisition of brokerage firm Hidden Road and its initiatives for institutional-grade blockchain solutions further signaled rising institutional interest in XRP.
However, the report also pointed out a dip in on-chain activity on the XRP Ledger, with transaction numbers and new wallet creations declining compared to Q4 2024.
