As the highest performing currency of 2025, will XRP soon surpass ETH?
XRP is leading in 2025 as the largest cryptocurrency with the best performance to date. With the change in the leadership of the SEC and the increasing dominance of Ripple, could XRP finally overthrow Ethereum and claim the number 2 position? And at what price of XRP could that happen? The Unexpected Growth of XRP to the Peak The year 2025 is proving to be a breakthrough year for XRP, as this cryptocurrency has surpassed all major cryptocurrencies in terms of growth this year to date. Surpassing Bitcoin and Ethereum in momentum, XRP is now the best-performing coin among the top 25 digital assets. With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) having new leadership and Ripple expanding its influence globally, the cryptocurrency world is wondering: Will XRP surpass Ethereum next? Let's analyze the numbers, key catalysts, and the projected timeline that could help make this a reality.
🔍 XRP Compared to ETH: Number Game As of April 23, 2025: XRP Price: ~$2.23Market Cap of XRP: ~129.7 billion dollars
ETH price: ~$1,790 Market capitalization of ETH: ~215.85 billion dollars Circulating supply of XRP: ~58.27 billion ➡️ For XRP to surpass the market capitalization of ETH, it needs to reach at least $3.70, assuming the market capitalization of Ethereum remains unchanged.
🧠 Why XRP Could Overturn Ethereum ✅ 1 Supportive Shift for Cryptocurrency at SEC The newly appointed SEC Chair Paul Atkins supports digital assets and will speak on April 25 at the Crypto Custody Roundtable. His leadership could bring much-needed regulatory clarity — a significant boost for Ripple and XRP. ✅ 2 Global Integrations of Ripple Ripple's acquisition of the financial technology brokerage firm Hidden Road and deeper integration into cross-border payment networks is adding real transaction volume to the XRP Ledger. ✅ 3 News About XRP ETF Following the upward trend of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, analysts now believe that XRP could be the next name. If an ETF is approved, institutional demand for XRP could surge. ✅ 4 Increasing Adoption by Organizations and Central Banks The use of XRP in international payment transactions continues to rise, attracting attention across Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. 📅 When Can $XRP Surpass $ETH? Based on the current growth and forecast, XRP could actually surpass Ethereum in Q3 2025, especially if key milestones are achieved: Atkins' speech at the SEC created a positive sentiment XRP ETF has been approved or submitted ETH is still below $2,000 while XRP rises to $3.70 and above. 🔮 Analyst's Prediction: Standard Chartered: XRP will reach $5.50 by the end of 2025. At $5.50, the market capitalization of XRP will exceed $320 billion, enough to overtake Ethereum unless ETH rises significantly.
⚠️ What Could Slow It Down? The recovery of Ethereum's price: Any strong price increase of ETH could raise the standard. XRP supply increases: The release of escrow may slow down market capitalization growth. Regulatory delays: Although optimism is high, delays in ETF approval or SEC action could halt the upward momentum. 🔑 The Final Turn: Flippening is Closer Than Ever XRP is no longer the underdog — by 2025, it will be leading the market. With increasing institutional interest, heated discussions about ETFs, and the SEC's leadership currently favorable, conditions are aligning for XRP to potentially overthrow Ethereum.
The moment XRP surpasses the $3.70 mark, the countdown begins. If Ethereum stagnates while XRP continues to surge, a reversal could occur in the summer of 2025.
