XRP Outshines Ethereum: 80% of Supply Now Profitable as Stealth Accumulation Eyes Record Highs
Move over, Ethereum—XRP just flexed its profitability muscles. With 80% of its circulating supply now in the green, Ripple's darling is quietly positioning for a breakout.
Whales are circling. While retail traders obsess over meme coins and vaporware DeFi projects, smart money's stacking XRP at levels that could trigger a supply shock. No flashy announcements, no hype—just old-fashioned accumulation under the radar.
The kicker? This isn't some speculative altcoin. XRP's liquidity and institutional foothold give it staying power most 'next-gen' chains would kill for. Meanwhile, Ethereum struggles with gas fees that make Wall Street brokers look charitable.
Will history remember this as the calm before the storm? All signs point to yes—but in crypto, the only certainty is that someone's about to over-leverage themselves into oblivion.
XRP is making waves in the crypto market, with 80% of its supply now in profit, outshining Ethereum’s 61%, according to on-chain data.
The profit gap signals stronger conviction among XRP holders, with their higher profitability reflecting a more bullish investor sentiment than Ethereum’s, which might potentially fuel increased interest and investment in XRP.
Heightened investor confidence can also be indicated by positive derivatives open interest (OI) in the XRP ecosystem.
According to Coinglass data, XRP derivatives OI currently stands at $4.20 billion after witnessing a 4.95% increase.
Open interest in derivatives is a key metric for understanding market sentiment and activity because it refers to the total number of outstanding futures or options contracts that haven’t been settled.
Therefore, positive XRP open interest signals rising market interest and increased capital inflow from institutional investors.
XRP Eyes the $2.35 Zone
According to market analyst Lingrid, XRP may be experiencing a stealthy accumulation phase that could spark a sharp upward MOVE to the zone between $2.30 and $2.35.
She added, “XRP dropped into the IMB zone and quickly bounced, defending the key support level between 2.00 and 2.05. The chart shows a potential accumulation structure forming after a falling wedge breakout, with the price beginning to coil toward a higher low.”
A series of higher lows plays an instrumental role in confirming an uptrend because each pullback ends at a price higher than the previous one.
At the time of this writing, XRP was up by 1.9% in the past 24 hours to trade at $2.29.
Meanwhile, the path to a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) is clearing as Ripple moves to end its nearly five-year legal battle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed the company will drop its cross-appeal, signaling a final resolution is near.
