XRP Is Running Hot. Ethereum’s Getting Smoked.

Let’s get into it.

XRP has been outperforming Ethereum for six months straight. Not some random spike. Not one lucky week. We’re talking six solid months of Ethereum getting its ass kicked by a coin people still call a scam.

Think about that.

You don’t have to like XRP. You don’t have to believe in it. But you can’t ignore what’s happening. Something’s moving under the surface. And if you’re still stuck in the whole tribal “my chain is better than your chain” mindset, you’re missing the big picture.

Here’s what I see.

XRP took a beating for years with that SEC case. Everyone thought it was dead. But it didn’t die. It didn’t even flinch. It just kept crawling forward while nobody was watching. Now the legal pressure’s cooling off, and the thing’s starting to breathe again.

Meanwhile, Ethereum’s just... stuck.

Fees are still ridiculous. Scaling is still a mess. You’ve got a dozen Layer 2s and none of them solve the whole problem. It’s like duct tape on a leaking pipe. You respect Ethereum because it built the foundation. But foundations crack. That’s normal.

Now XRP isn’t trying to do what Ethereum does. It’s not competing with DeFi or NFTs or trying to be the internet’s world computer. It just moves money. Fast. Simple. Direct. And guess what? That’s useful. Especially when the rest of the market is overcomplicating everything.

Does this mean XRP is the future? Who knows. But if it keeps performing like this, people are going to stop laughing and start listening. And when that shift happens, it hits hard.

So stop thinking like a fanboy. Start thinking like someone who actually wants to understand this space.

Look at the chart. Look at the trend.

Then ask yourself what happens next.
