$XRP XRP Outshines 92% Of Altcoins, Analysis Shows—Here’s Why

XRP stood firm as crypto markets took a beating on Tuesday. Most coins fell hard, but XRP avoided hitting new lows. Market watchers now wonder if the altcoin might recover faster than other cryptos.

XRP Holds Ground In Tough Market

Tuesday’s crash sent most crypto prices tumbling. XRP dropped to $2.23, falling 4% in just one day. This marks a rough week for the coin, which lost 17% in the weekly frame, but the drop wasn’t as bad as earlier this month. During one of its biggest declines this year, on February 4th, the coin had sunk to $1.70 – much lower than Tuesday’s bottom.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, fell below $86,000. This was its lowest price since November 2024. The difference is clear: Bitcoin hit new recent lows while XRP did not.

Numbers Tell The Story

XRP’s strength shows up clearly in market data. According to CoinCodex, the coin did better than 92% of the top 100 crypto coins during this downturn.

While XRP avoided making new lows, other popular coins weren’t so lucky. Both Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) fell to their lowest points of 2024 during Tuesday’s crash.
