XRP Was $0.50 When Bitcoin Hit $80KNow It Holds Above $2 as BTC Falls Below $80K: What Happened?
XRP has demonstrated remarkable resilience amid the volatility in Bitcoin, where its price is crashing back to historic lows.Earlier today, Bitcoin's price dropped as low as $76,600. The last time the market saw this price level was after Donald Trump won his reelection in November 2024. At that time, XRP was hovering around $0.50.However, XRP commenced a sustained uptrend shortly after the election victory and didnt lose momentum until the first week of December 2024. Notably, during this period, XRPs price rallied from just around $0.50 to $2.80, posting nearly 5X growth.Today, Bitcoins price has dipped back below the $80K levels last seen in late 2024, while XRP has remained mostly above $2. Notably, XRP touched $1.92 today but is now back to trading at $2.15. At the same time, Bitcoin touched $76K but is now above $81,000.XRP Defies BitcoinWhen comparing price performance, Bitcoin has lost the majority of the gains it accrued over the last four months, which were buoyed by Donald Trumps influence. In contrast, XRP has maintained the majority of its position.Given that XRP did not lose all the gains it made over the last four months, while Bitcoin has lost most of its gains, market observers are now highlighting the resilience of XRP amid Bitcoins volatility, which typically drags the whole market down."When Bitcoin hit $80,000, XRP was just $0.50. Today, with BTC below $80,000, XRP is still holding strong above $2. Think about this," tweeted Alpha Lions Academy founder Edo Farina.
