CoinWorld reports: Market data confirms that XRP has beaten the return on investment (ROI) of Bitcoin and Ethereum in the past six months.

XRP and the wider crypto market have been in a bearish phase for the past two months, led by Bitcoin (BTC), the leading crypto asset. During this period, BTC collapsed below the psychological level of $90,000 and XRP gave up $3.

However, market data suggests that XRP has been more resilient than it should have been during an economic downturn. An evaluation of investment returns for the top three crypto assets — Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP — shows that XRP has been the standout performer lately.

Tokens bought $10,000 in Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP

Specifically, Crypto Fundamentals recently evaluated if investors would be better off in XRP, Bitcoin, or Ethereum. All three assets showed different returns, with XRP showing the biggest difference.

In particular, six months ago, on September 27, 2024, $10,000 in Bitcoin would have purchased 0.152 BTC tokens, with Bitcoin then trading at $65,781. On the same day, if an investor had pledged $10,000 in ETH, the investment would have accumulated 3.71 ETH tokens at a price of $2,728.

Meanwhile, investing the same $10,000 in XRP would earn you 16,992 XRP tokens. For context, on September 27, 2024, XRP was trading at $0.5885 in a consolidation phase that began in mid-September and lasted until the end of the month.

It is worth noting that Bitcoin surged to an ATH of $109,356 on January 20, 2025. 0.152 BTC, purchased for $10,000 last September, soared to $16,662, a return of more than $66,000. However, with BTC now changing hands at $87,336, this $10,000 investment is now worth $13,275. This shows that BTC has a return of $3,275 in the past six months.

For Ethereum, 3.71 ETH tokens were worth $10,000 in September 2024, surging to $15,240 when Ethereum reached a three-year peak of $4,108 in mid-December 2024. Nonetheless, with ETH’s current price at $2,026, the initial $10,000 investment is now worth $7,516. This confirms that Ethereum has lost $2,484 in the past six months.

And XRP, when XRP reached a seven-year high of $3.4, 16,992 tokens rose to $57,772. However, with the asset down to $2.36 at press time, a $10,000 investment is now worth $40,101. This would require XRP to return more than $30,000 in the past six months.

These results are expected to be okay, as XRP has outperformed the rest of the market over the past few months. For context, XRP has gained a massive 281% against the entire cryptocurrency market since the November 2024 U.S. election. Nonetheless, XRP is still trading below its ATH suggesting that its uptrend is still in its early stages.
