Can XRP Ever Surpass Bitcoin?
In crypto, few assets have a fan base as vocal as XRP's (CRYPTO: XRP). The coin was born to move money for the banking system, and today, a few of its backers dream of something even bigger, like unseating Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) to become crypto's top dog. That prospect feels tantalizing in a 12-month period when XRP has grown by 487% while Bitcoin "merely" doubled.
But does the math, not to mention the market structure, leave any room for this flipping to happen?
As of Aug. 5, Bitcoin's market cap sits near $2.2 trillion, making XRP's $177 billion look tiny in comparison.
