- XRP is like that friend who shows up to the party but stands awkwardly by the snack table.
- Weak rotational interest? More like XRP’s slipping XRP/BTC ratio is on a diet! 🍩
On the weekly timeframe, Ripple [XRP] isn’t far behind the major caps, but zoom out to the monthly timeframe and it’s like watching a tortoise race a hare. Spoiler alert: the tortoise is still in its shell.
While Ethereum [ETH] flexed with a strong 40% rally (seriously, someone get that guy a gym membership), and even Dogecoin [DOGE] delivered a solid 20%+ ROI (who knew a meme could make money?), XRP’s move was more like a gentle nudge—up around 4%, landing near $2.30 at press time. Yawn.
From a rotation standpoint, XRP is still struggling to grab attention. The XRP/BTC pair confirms the story. The ratio has been grinding lower for ten days straight, like a bad relationship that just won’t end.
That selloff really drives the point home. While the big names are still holding onto their gains from the (May 8-13 window) when Bitcoin [BTC] was strutting around near $103k, Ripple has already given back all its gains against Bitcoin. Talk about a dramatic exit!
No surprise, it’s stuck in a tight range below $2.50. It’s like being trapped in a bad rom-com—no one wants to see it go anywhere.
Even with 2,524 fresh whale wallets (holding 10k+ XRP) added during the same timeframe, pushing total whale count to a record 302,197, the price barely budged. It’s like throwing a party and no one shows up.
Bottom line? Accumulation is happening, but it’s not translating into momentum, yet. Kind of like my New Year’s resolutions.
Derivatives dodge XRP, bets elsewhere
Ripple’s epic November rally last year capped off Q4 with a staggering 266% ROI, earning it the crown as the “best performing asset.” But behind the scenes, it wasn’t just spot traders cashing in. Instead, derivatives were the real rocket fuel. 🚀
By mid-January, XRP’s Open Interest (OI) blasted off to an all-time high near $8 billion, perfectly syncing with its $3.40 yearly peak. Since then, OI has settled into a range between $3 and $5 billion, showing the market cooling off like a hot cup of coffee left out too long.
Meanwhile, Ethereum’s OI hit a record $33 billion on the 23rd of May, adding nearly $13.5 billion just this month. Solana [SOL] is closing in on its $8.57 billion peak, adding nearly $3 billion in May alone. It’s like watching your friends get rich while you’re still figuring out how to pay rent.
The message is loud and clear: Futures liquidity and trader attention have rotated hard into alternative assets, leaving XRP stuck on the sidelines, gasping for momentum. It’s like being the last kid picked for dodgeball.
Unless rotational and speculative capital rotate back into XRP’s corner, the token could stay range-bound. Even with solid fundamentals, while its rivals keep pushing new highs against BTC, Ripple might just stay off the main action for now. Sorry, Ripple, but it looks like you’re on the bench for a while!
