XRP vs BTC: Glassnode Data Contrasts Retail vs Institutional Rally Paths
- XRP active addresses have increased by 490% since the 2022 cycle low.
- Bitcoin’s active addresses rose just 10% over the same period.
- Glassnode argues that XRP’s late 2024 breakout was due to retail speculation.
XRP appears primarily retail-driven this market cycle, with active addresses increasing 490% since the 2022 cycle low, while Bitcoin’s grew just 10%, according to Glassnode data.
This surge signals heightened speculative interest in XRP from retail traders, contrasting with Bitcoin’s more stable, institutional-led rally.
Glassnode: XRP Rally Retail-Driven, BTC Institutional
Glassnode noted Bitcoin’s price growth has been steady, driven by institutional investments and ETF inflows. XRP, however, remained largely dormant before a sharp speculative breakout in December 2024.
“Despite similar price gains since the cycle low with both trading roughly 5x to 6x off the bottom, their rally paths differ,” Glassnode noted. “Bitcoin shows steady, catalyst-driven growth, while XRP’s rise is largely speculative.”
