If I told you that while Bitcoin frequently breaks through $100,000, the Ethereum ETF topic is boiling, and Solana is called the next darling of Wall Street, the one that has quietly led the market with a 350% increase is XRP, would you believe it? A 350% increase vs. Bitcoin's 58%, Ethereum's 10%, Solana's 9%—this is not an illusion, but the reality under the 'Trump market'.
Since the November 2024 election, XRP's performance can only be described as 'the king of counterattack'. From $0.50, it has skyrocketed to approximately $2.29, an increase of over 350% within 6 months, far exceeding BTC's 58%, ETH's 10%, and SOL's 9%. Even if XRP temporarily retraced in the short term, its fundamentals and technical trends are becoming increasingly strong.
Short-term fluctuations ≠ structural weakening, XRP gains the initiative in a 'political bull market'.
XRP briefly fell below a key support level in late May, dropping below $2.35 on May 23 and reaching a low of $2.24 on May 28. It attempted several times to return to an upward trajectory but failed. This trend seems weak, but from an overall cycle perspective, it is still in a large mid-term consolidation range, with new catalysts for explosion lurking ahead.
Especially with the gradual implementation of Trump's new policies, XRP is gradually becoming one of the representatives of institutional crypto assets.
Regulatory shift: The strict regulatory framework during the Biden administration is being dismantled, with supporting policies like 'digital asset reserves' and 'strategic Bitcoin reserves' being introduced one after another;
Personnel layout: Trump nominates Paul Atkins as the new SEC chairman, further releasing signals friendly to crypto;
Institutional attitude: XRP has been mentioned multiple times as a possible payment layer candidate integrated into the 'digital dollar' project.
These changes are not just 'rhetoric' but a profound reconstruction of market expectations.
Market structure changes: retail investors hesitate, institutions quietly accumulate.
Although XRP's price trend has not continuously reached new highs, based on Mlion.ai's on-chain data, since February, the holding volume of large addresses (whales) for XRP has been continuously increasing, and the XRP stock in most exchanges is showing a net outflow trend, indicating that more holders choose to hold for the long term.
Similar to the current situation where Bitcoin mainly relies on institutional boosts while retail trading enthusiasm is tepid, XRP is also experiencing a phase of 'main force control'.
But it is worth noting that Mlion.ai's address activity analysis module shows that XRP's 'medium addresses' on-chain are beginning to show slow signs of recovery, which is usually a signal for retail investors; once confirmed to start, it could very likely trigger the next wave of traffic and capital surge.
Technical analysis: W bottom pattern formation, target market cap may break through $1.5 trillion?
Senior analyst EGRAG released a market cap 'W pattern' structure prediction for XRP at the end of 2023, which is expected to complete in January 2025, with a market cap reaching $195 billion.
According to his analysis, as long as the neckline pressure is broken, the first target for XRP's market cap is $270 billion, corresponding to the Fibonacci 1.618 technical level; more aggressive models even suggest that the long-term target could reach the $1.5 trillion market cap range, which means an increase of over 6 times from the current level.
If you think this number is exaggerated, just look back at the actual increase of 350% from last November to now, and think about it: who would have thought that while the entire crypto market was focused on Bitcoin, XRP had quietly emerged from a super cycle starting point?
Comparing this, you will understand what it means to 'stand out':
Asset Increase from November 2024 to now
XRP +350%
BTC +58%
ETH +10%
SOL +9%
This set of data has sparked great discussions in the XRP community, and commentator Zach Rector even posed a soul-searching question in a tweet: 'Still far from it...?'
What’s next? The opportunity lies in the rhythm, not in blindly chasing highs.
Although XRP's price has not reached a new high, its bottom structure is solid, the concentration of chips is increasing, and with continuous policy dividends being released, this is a typical 'early stage of structural bull market'.
What needs to be done now is not blind impulse, but precise identification of rhythm nodes.
This is where AI investment research platforms like Mlion.ai come into play:
Using price prediction models, combined with on-chain activity and historical trends, to dynamically track XRP's short and medium-term resistance and support;
Using the strategy diagram function to identify key buy signals from the perspective of candlesticks and capital flow;
Through news flash analysis, timely interpreting the potential impact of policy implementation and regulatory personnel changes on XRP.
And with the on-chain address tracking module, lock in the movements and capital layout of whales.
With these tools to assist, you don't need to 'guess desperately', but can rationally 'go with the trend'.
Conclusion:
XRP's explosion is not accidental but stands at the intersection of macro policies, capital flows, technical trends, and chip structures resonating together.
It has proven itself with its price increase in this round of market, and it will also become an 'infrastructure asset for crypto payments' recognized by both institutions and regulators in future cycles.
As for whether you got on this train, it depends on whether you understood the language of this structural turning point. If you are not ready yet, Mlion.ai might just be your tool for understanding rhythm and seizing opportunities.
