Ethereum: Will XRP Ever Catch Up? Analyst Reverses Bold Prediction!

by

In the world of cryptocurrencies, 2024 and early 2025 were months of intense drama. XRP, like a determined sprinter, seemed poised to overthrow Ethereum in the race for market dominance. After an explosive rally that left Ethereum gasping for air, it was almost a certainty. Or so we thought.

Back then, analysts were practically salivating over the prospect of XRP flipping Ethereum. And then came the reversal. Enter “Charting Guy,” the once-optimistic prophet of the flippening, now practically eating his words. “Well, folks, guess what? That ship has sailed,” he said, waving his hands dramatically, possibly while sipping his favorite herbal tea.

Charting Guy Discovers Ethereum Actually Knows How to Rally

So what happened? Well, between November 2024 and January 2025, XRP had a meteoric rise-nearly 600%, while Ethereum shuffled sideways, grumbling about its fate. At one point, Ethereum even dipped to a low of $1,385. XRP was gaining ground, and Ethereum was stuck in traffic, wondering what happened to its legendary ride. But then-plot twist-Ethereum woke up, and oh boy, it started flexing.

Now, Ethereum isn’t just flexing; it’s practically doing a deadlift. Charting Guy sheepishly admitted that he re-entered Ethereum near its lows in April, and since then, it’s been on an absolute tear, climbing 239% to sit at $4,736. It’s not just sitting pretty either. Ethereum’s market cap surged to $572 billion, leaving XRP eating its dust at $193 billion. Suddenly, that flippening idea feels more like a fantasy novel than a financial forecast.

Ethereum Showing XRP Who’s Boss

In the last month, Ethereum jumped a cool 52%, while XRP seems to have hit the snooze button. XRP would need a miracle, or perhaps a small meteor shower, to catch up. If XRP’s price were to climb 2.5 times to $8, its market cap would still fall short of Ethereum’s current numbers. Charting Guy’s conclusion? A flippening? Not anytime soon. Not even with a 3x miracle rally for XRP.

And for those of you still listening to “moon boys” on crypto forums (because, of course, the moon is still a valid destination), Charting Guy advises you to hold both coins. Why? Because who wants to bet on a single horse in a two-horse race? A diversified portfolio is your best bet. Ethereum’s strength, Charting Guy points out, was long overdue, having been chasing Bitcoin’s tail for quite some time.

What seemed like an actual race has turned into a marathon, and right now, Ethereum is jogging away while XRP looks for its second wind. So, while XRP is still growing, Ethereum’s market cap advantage has made the idea of an imminent flippening feel like a sci-fi script. Sorry, XRP fans-it’s not happening anytime soon.
