The post XRP Outperforms Bitcoin by 277%—Is $10 the Next Stop? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin may still be the king of crypto, but XRP is stealing the show this year. While Bitcoin smashed past $123,000, XRP quietly broke its record, climbing to $3.66 for the first time in years.
Here’s what’s more interesting, XRP has outperformed Bitcoin by a massive 277% in the past year, and it did so without ETF approvals or big institutional boosts. Meanwhile, Experts believe this rally could be far from over, hinting at even bigger gains ahead.
XRP Outpaces Bitcoin by 277%
In the last 12 months, XRP has climbed 277% against Bitcoin, while Bitcoin rose about 88%. The XRP/BTC ratio jumped from 0.00000902 to 0.0000303, showing clear relative strength.
What makes this impressive is the lack of support tools XRP doesn’t have:
- No U.S.-approved spot XRP ETF yet.
- No major corporate treasury wave.
- No native DeFi yield is baked into the network.
Still, buyers showed up. As of now, XRP is trading around $3.44, reflecting a gain of 4.5% seen in the last 24 hours, not far from the fresh $3.66 all‑time high. One year ago, XRP was about $0.44, that’s a 9x gain.
Institutional Money Flowing In
Institutional interest in XRP is heating up fast. ProShares is set to launch its Ultra XRP ETF on NYSE Arca, giving investors leveraged exposure. On the top of it, big names like Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Teucrium are also lining up with active ETF filings.
Apart from all, recently reported record-breaking daily volumes for XRP and Micro XRP futures, over $235 million in a single day, a sign that professional traders are piling in.
Ripple Expands Global Reach
Ripple isn’t slowing down, it continues building real‑world use. It recently partnered with Ctrl Alt to bring institutional-grade custody to Dubai’s real estate market, enabling tokenized property titles on the XRP Ledger.
However, its Ethereum-compatible sidechain is also booming, hosting 1,300+ smart contracts since June.
XRP Eyeing Double-Digit Gain, Analysts Think So
Crypto analyst Kyle Chassé says XRP’s strength isn’t a fluke. He sees $3.80 as the next near‑term level to watch, followed by $4.80 if momentum holds.

Other market watchers say that if ETF approvals advance and whales keep accumulating, double‑digit price targets could enter the conversation later in the cycle.
