The post Ripple’s XRP Outpaces Bitcoin and Dogecoin to Lead India’s Crypto Market in Q1 2025 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
India’s crypto scene is buzzing in 2025, and one name is getting extra attention — Ripple’s XRP. While Bitcoin and Ethereum have long dominated conversations, Ripple is quietly climbing the ranks, especially when it comes to active trading.
According to the latest report from CoinSwitch, one of India’s largest cryptocurrency trading platforms, XRP has become the most traded cryptocurrency in India during the first quarter of this year. This is a big moment for the digital asset, as it overtakes popular tokens like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, which have enjoyed strong fan bases in the country.
XRP now accounts for over 13% of total trades on the platform, a clear sign that Indian traders are keeping a close eye on it. Experts suggest that recent positive updates surrounding Ripple’s global operations and legal battles have likely boosted investor confidence, encouraging more people to buy and trade XRP.
Interestingly, while XRP leads the trading charts, Bitcoin and Dogecoin still remain among the top assets held by Indian investors. People in India seem to trust established cryptocurrencies for long-term investments, but when it comes to fast-paced trading, XRP appears to be the go-to choice in early 2025.
Apart from Ripple’s rise, new meme coins like PEPE have also started attracting attention, while older names like Loopring are slowly fading from the spotlight. This shows just how quickly trends can change in India’s crypto market, with both seasoned investors and new traders willing to explore fresh opportunities.
A senior executive at CoinSwitch commented, “The first few months of 2025 have shown us how dynamic the Indian crypto market is. While some coins continue to be long-term favorites, traders are actively exploring new tokens like Ripple, driven by global events and growing awareness.”
