XRP ranks second to Bitcoin in institutional interest, but why is it lagging?
XRP ranks as the second-most inquired crypto asset among institutional investors, trailing only Bitcoin, according to Grayscale. Recent ETF flow data supports this, showing significant net inflows into XRP, including $33.4 million in one week and $63 million in another, while Bitcoin experienced outflows. Despite strong institutional demand, XRP's price has struggled to stay above $2 due to substantial selling pressure. An analyst reports that over $5 billion in XRP has been sold on South Korea's Upbit exchange in recent months, with a single entity responsible for significant dumps, including 57 million XRP on February 15th, causing a 10% price drop. Additionally, historical trends suggest that when XRP outperforms Bitcoin, a correction often follows, indicating potential further decline unless Bitcoin rallies decisively above $70K.
