Let’s analyze the positive momentum of XRP and BTC, and explore its potential impact, especially in light of their ongoing rivalry.
XRP News: Bitcoin and Ripple Coin Lead Weekly Inflows
According to CoinShares’ weekly report, the digital asset investment products marked a total inflow of $644 million. While Bitcoin dominated the inflows with a staggering $724 million, XRP ranked second with a notable inflow of $6.7 million.
Closely following XRP is Solana, with a notable inflow of $6.4 million. Other altcoins like Polygon and Chainlink have also seen modest gains of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Notably, Ethereum is the largest loser with a weekly outflow of $86 million. Sui and Short Bitcoin have also experienced significant outflows. Altcoins including Polkadot, Tron, and Algorand have also reported outflows of $1.3m, $0.95m, and $0.82m, respectively.
Bitcoin Sets Trend Reversal
For five consecutive weeks, the digital asset investment products had experienced a negative sentiment, marking significant outflows. Although Bitcoin bore the brunt of the outflows, it has now become the trendsetter, emerging as the biggest gainer of the week.
This development occurs amidst the increasing rivalry between XRP enthusiasts and Bitcoin maximalists. As XRP’s potential inclusion in the US reserve has sparked intense debate, Bitcoin manages to maintain its positive sentiment. Recently, XRP lawyer Bill Morgan highlighted the Trump government’s lean towards Bitcoin, asserting that it could undermine the country’s crypto initiatives.
XRP Wins Japanese Payment Deal
Adding intrigue to the prevailing positive sentiment, a Japanese real-estate firm, Open House, has embraced XRP, DOGE, and SOL for payments. This marks a significant milestone for XRP’s adoption.
Amidst the ongoing Bitcoin vs XRP debate, Bill Morgan ridiculed BTC for being snubbed by the company, which instead chose XRP, along with Dogecoin (DOGE) and Solana (SOL). His tweet read, “But not Bitcoin for payments?”
However, his tweet was promptly contradicted as Open House previously selected BTC and ETH for payments. In January, the real-estate firm embraced debuted crypto payments Bitcoin and Ethereum. In the latest development, the company expanded its crypto payment options, including XRP, DOGE, and SOL.
